Making Adjustments to Your Saw
Upper Elevation Limit Stop
To check the position of the upper elevation limit stop, install a 10 inch saw blade on the arbor (see page 17),
and turn the elevation hand wheel clockwise until the limit stop is reached. Using a combination square or
similar tool, measure the distance from the top of the table to the tip of the highest tooth on the blade. The
maximum height of the blade above the table should be 3 1/8 inches. If the blade is 3 3/16 inches or higher
above the table, the upper elevation limit stop should be adjusted downward. If the blade is less than 3 1/8
inches above the table, you can adjust the limit stop upward to 3 1/8 inches. Alternatively, you can adjust the
limit stop so that the maximum blade height is lower than 3 1/8 inches.
The upper elevation limit stop is set by the
bolt mounted in the lower front portion of
the elevation plate (see Fig. 60). You can
access the upper limit bolt by opening
the motor cover. The head of the bolt is
painted yellow for easy identification. To
adjust the position of the upper limit bolt,
first loosen the locking nut and back it
off several turns. If you plan to adjust the
limit stop upward, turn the bolt counter-
clockwise several turns.
Next, set the blade elevation to the
correct maximum height. Turn the upper
limit bolt clockwise until it is tight. Finally,
turn the locking nut clockwise until it is
tight. The upper elevation limit stop has
now been set.
4. Adjusting the Elevation Limit Stops:
The upper elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block and belts from hitting the underside of the table. The
lower elevation limit stop prevents the arbor block or blade from hitting the lower trunnion assembly. The
elevation limit stops must be adjusted correctly to ensure proper operation of the saw.
