7.4.1 Safety Key
The switch is equipped with a magnetic safety key.
When in place on the switch as shown in Figure 7-
2, the safety key trips a relay which will allow the
machine to start and stop when the respective
switches are pressed. Being magnetic, the key can
be removed to make the machine inoperable and
can be hidden for safe storage by attaching it
underneath the rail or another magnetic surface.
When using the saw, place the key on the switch
cover lining up the arrow on the key with the
REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then rotate the key
so the arrow lines up with the LOCK arrow. This
prevents the safety key from vibrating loose when
machine is in use.

8.2 Fence alignment

Before using the Accu-Fence
properly aligned with the blade. Consult manual no.
M-2195079B that accompanied the fence.

8.3 Blade raising and tilting

See Figure 8-1.
To raise or lower blade, loosen lock knob (A,
Figure 8-1) and turn handwheel (B) on front of saw
until desired height is reached. Tighten lock knob
(A). The blade should be raised about 1/8" above
top surface of material being cut.
To tilt blade, loosen lock knob (C) and turn
handwheel (D) until desired angle is obtained, as
shown on tilt scale or DRO. Retighten lock knob
(C).
® , verify that it is
16
The DRO, or digital readout (E) displays the angle
for quick positioning. See sect. 8.10 for calibration
of the DRO.
Reference pointers (F) can be positioned at any
point along scale; loosen knob and slide pointer to
position, then tighten knob. These provide a quick
reference point for aligning the angle indicator.

8.4 Caster mechanism

To engage caster system, pump handle (G, Figure
8-1) about 4 or 5 times.
Disengage caster system by turning handle (H)
counterclockwise. Casters must be disengaged
before operating saw.
Note: It is recommended that saw be lowered to
resting position after being moved to desired
location. If left in raised position for an extended
period, saw will gradually settle back to floor – this
is normal.

8.5 Miter gauge

Refer to Figures 8-2 and 8-3.
8.5.1 Setting miter angle
The miter gauge has rack and pinion adjustment
for setting angle. To operate:
1. Slide miter gauge into table slot.
2. Loosen lock handle (H, Figure 8-2) by turning
counterclockwise.
3. Pull out spring-loaded knob (J) and rotate knob
until body (K) of miter gauge is at desired
angle as indicated on scale.
4. Tighten lock handle (H).
8.5.2 Indent settings
There are indents at 0º, 30º and 45º right and left
positions. At these settings, release knob (J) to
engage indent. Then tighten lock handle (H).
Note: Do not rely solely on the indents for an
accurate setting. After stop rod engages at the 0º,
30º and 45º positions, make a fine adjustment with
the knob (J) if necessary, setting it against the
scale indicator (L).
