If the V-Block requires adjustment, loosen the clamping nuts until you can
move it with a gentle nudge in the direction of the notching blade to center it.
Make note of your reference marks. Also be sure the V-Block remains
centered with the marks you made on the frame tubes. Tighten the clamps
and recheck the adjustment. As you bring the cut-off saw down, make sure
it goes into the center slot without interfering with anything. It may take a
few tries before you get the adjustment correct but the results are worth it.
Don’t overtighten the clamps nor leave them too loose.
•
While leaving the hold-downs propped open, raise the cut-off saw to the top
of its travel and unplug it. Plug the machine in and do a nice, slow test cut
on some cable—you may want to clamp the cable with vise-grip pliers in
case it grabs. You are checking to see if the cable is being notched in the
center and that the depth of cut is about the same. Re-adjustment of the V-
Block or extra shimming of the drills is sometimes necessary.
•
If you plan on putting the hold-down staples in them, now is the time—
otherwise, re-install the hold-down pads noting proper V-Block and hold-
down tube guide alignment. Leave the cut-off saw up and remove the wire
ties from the trigger.
•
Continue to test cut MC cable and adjust the depth of cut, then lower the
cut-off saw and plug it back in and recheck depth of cut by test cutting some
small whips. If adjustments and technique are working, you will not need to
clamp the cable for these test cuts as the hold-downs and notching blade
alignment should prevent grabbing.
