Raising And Lowering The Blade; Tilting The Blade - Delta 36-5000 T2 Manuel D'utilisation

RAISING AND LOWERING THE
BLADE
For most applications, it is recommended that you raise the
blade 1/8-inch (3.2mm) to 1/4-inch (6.4mm) above the top
surface of the workpiece.
Raise or lower the blade with the hand wheel (A) located on
the front of the saw maximum 45° (fig 19).
1.
Before raising or lowering the blade, be sure to loosen
the lock knob (B) by turning it counterclockwise.
2.
To raise the saw blade, turn the hand wheel clockwise.
To lower the saw blade, turn the hand wheel counter-
clockwise.
3.
Tighten lock knob to keep blade at the desired height.
Only a small amount of force is required to lock the
blade raising mechanism securely. Any added force
merely puts unnecessary strain on the locking device.
4.
When done operating the saw, and when performing
maintenance, adjustments or repairs, lower blade below
surface of table.

TILTING THE BLADE

The blade can be tilted up to 45° to the left using the blade tilt
wheel (A) located on the right side panel of the saw. The angle
of tilt is measured by the bevel gauge on the front of the saw.
To tilt the saw blade:
1.
Loosen the lock knob (B) counterclockwise and turn the
hand wheel clockwise. A pointer on the front of the saw
indicates the angle of tilt in ½-degree increments.
2.
To lock the saw blade at your desired angle, tighten the
lock knob by rotating it clockwise.
