                        2. Attach the four short braces to one set of  legs as shown in Figure 6.  3. Complete the stand assembly by attaching  the other set of legs as shown in Figure 7.  4. To attach rubber feet to each leg, first use a  cross-point screwdriver and screw the 1/4- 20 x 1 pan head screw through the recessed  hole of the rubber grommet as shown in  Figure 8. Push the screw through the hole  provided at the bottom of each leg, and  tightly fasten down with 1/4 flat washer and  1/4 hex nut.  5. Remember,

Lightly  screw assembly into handwheel.   2. Tighten the nut (C) to the handwheel just  enough so that there is adequate looseness  in the knob (A) to allow free rotation.  3. Attach the elevating and tilting handwheels  with lock knobs to the elevating and tilting  screws on the machine, as shown in Figure    10.  Make sure the slot in both handwh

                        6. Install the motor assembly onto the  protruding studs at the back of the saw.  See  Figure 15.  7. Tighten down setscrews in top of cast motor  bracket with hex wrench as shown in Figure  15.  8. Use an assistant or get a support block (for  example, a 2x4) approximately 21" to 22"  long. Lift motor up and position block under  the motor to support its weight.  9. Slightly loosen motor base screws.  10. Confirm belt alignment using a straight edge    as shown in Figure 16.

                        Mounting Blade Guard and Splitter  1. Disconnect saw from power source.  2. Attach splitter mounting bracket to saw  trunnion using pin, nut and washer as shown  in Figure 18. Insert the pin into the trunnion  hole until it is flush on the other side, then  hold a wrench on the flat of the pin to  stabilize it, while tightening the nut    counterclockwise. The upper bracket is  Figure 18  secured to the lower bracket with four 5/16- 18 x 1 screws, four 5/16 flat washers, and  four 5/16 hex nuts.

                        Mounting Table Insert  1. Place the table insert into the table opening.   With a straight edge, check to see if the  insert is level with the surface of the table.   See Figure 22.   2. If the insert is not level, correct it by using  the straight edge and turning the four set  screws in or out until the insert is flush with  the table.  Mounting Extension Wings    Figure 22  TIP:  Use WD-40® to clean table edges.    1. Have an assistant hold the wing in place  while the three 7/16-14 x 1-1/4 s

                        Installing Dust Shroud  TIP:  Since the dust shroud is installed from  beneath, aid from a helper to install the screws  and tabs will make this task much easier.  1. From under the saw, position the dust  shroud at an angle to go through the  opening between the stand and the saw.   Set the lip of the shroud to sit on the top side  of the stand as shown in Figure 24.  2. Attach two 3/16-24 x 5/8 pan head screws  and two 3/16 star washers to the tabs, and    reaching in from the motor side of th

                        Dado Insert  Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into  the workpiece. The dado insert, shown in Figure  27, is included as standard equipment with your  saw. Rotate the set screws as needed to level  the dado insert with table surface.    Do not use the standard table  insert for dadoing operations.  Adjustments     Disconnect motor from  Figure 27  power source before making any    adjustments.    Blade Adjustment    1. To raise and lower the saw blade, loosen  the front lock knob (A)

                        45 and 90 Degree Positive Stops  Convenient access to these adjustments will be  from the back side of the saw.    1. Disconnect machine from power source.  2. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.  3. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by  turning the blade tilting handwheel clockwise  as far as it will go.  4. Place a square on the table and check to    see that the blade is at a 90 degree angle to  the table.  See Figure 30. Figure 30    5. If blade is not at 90 degrees, proceed as

                        3. If it does not, loosen lock handle (B - Figure  32).  4. Loosen locknut (E), and adjust the stop  screw, (A), so it strikes the stop link (D)  when the gauge is at 90 degrees.  5. Retighten both the locknut (E) and lock  handle (B).            Figure 33    Aligning Splitter to Blade   The splitter assembly must  be aligned with the saw blade to help prevent  kickback.  1. Lay a straight edge against the saw blade  and the splitter as shown in Figure 34.  2. If splitter and blade do not line u

                          Basic Saw Operation      1. Familiarize yourself with the location and  operation of all controls and adjustments    and the use of the mitre gauge and rip    fence.    2. Serious injury can result from kickbacks    which occur when a workpiece binds on the    saw blade or binds between the saw blade    and rip fence or other fixed objects. This  binding can cause the workpiece to lift up    and be thrown toward the operator.     Listed below are the conditions which can    cause kickback and
