If the small end of the taper is on the  

top, the stopper will not keep the cord  

in place.  

Step 1 - Adjusting the Rollers  

1. To check roller alignment, remove exten-  

sions (if present).  

If the saw does not cut at 90°, the guide  

tubes may not be perpendicular to the rollers.  

Unplug the saw cord before testing alignment  

or making adjustments. Check the alignment  

of the rollers before adjusting the guide tubes  

Step 3 - Adjusting the Blade - Parallelism  

The blade should be parallel to the guide  

tubes, otherwise tail burning may occur and  

the kerf will be wider than the set of the blade.  

Make the following adjustments only if the  

blade appears to be out of alignment. AL-  

WAYS check for alignment of the rollers and  

the guide tubes before adjusting the blade.

.

Loosen the carriage lock and allow the  

saw carriage to return to the top of the  

guide tubes. Tighten the carriage lock.  

2. Retract the stand and lay the tool flat  

so the roller nuts are easily accessible.  

With proper care, you may place the tool  

on a table with guide tubes up.  

3. The outermost rollers are stationary,  

so adjust all other wheels to the two  

outermost rollers. Lay the straight edge  

of the field alignment tool across the roll-  

ers to verify alignment; all rollers should  

contact the edge.  

(see "Adjusting the Rollers").  

1. To check the guide tube alignment,  

remove the upper guard assembly to  

expose the blade. Mark a tooth to use as  

a reference. If using a high-speed steel  

blade, mark a tooth pointing toward the  

edge of the field alignment tool.  

NOTE: If you discover there is too much  

or not enough slack in the cord, readjust  

as necessary.  

1. To check for blade parallelism, position  

the saw carriage for a cross-cut and  

make a sample cut. If the blade "heels",  

burns marks on the cut, etc., check both  

sides of the cut to determine which side  

of the blade is causing the problem.

Run the cord over the top of the panel  

saw to get it out of the path of the saw.  

You are now ready to use your panel saw.  

Refer to the "Operation" section for instruc-  

tion on proper use.

.

Clamp the field alignment tool to the  

roller assembly and pull the saw car-  

riage down slowly so the marked refer-  

ence tooth just touches the vertical edge  

of the field alignment tool. Continue to  

pull the saw carriage down. If the blade  

does not contact the square, or if the  

blade binds on the square, the guide  

tubes are not aligned.  

4.  

If a roller is "high" or "low" to the straight  

edge, clamp a straight edge at least 5'  

long to the top of the rollers so it lies flat  

on the frame and against the outermost  

rollers, positioning the clamps above the  

outermost roller.  

2.  

Unplug the tool.  

3. Position the square on the rollers and  

lower the saw carriage so the square  

overhangs the blade.  

Panel Saw Alignment  

The panel saw is aligned during manufactur-  

ing to a tolerance of ±1/32". Field alignment  

is required only if the unit is mishandled or  

abused, or if motor or wheel replacement  

is required.  

5.  

With the straight edge clamped securely  

in place, rotate each roller to be sure  

that it neither jams nor has excessive  

clearance to the straight edge. If a roller  

runs "tight" or "loose" to the straight  

edge, loosen the roller nut. Roller nuts  

are torqued and require at least an 18"  

braker bar to loosen them.  

4.  

Place the square against the blade. The  

entire face of the blade should contact  

the square. If it does not, then the blade  

is not parallel to the workpiece.  

3. To align the guide tubes, determine  

which direction the top of the guide  

should move. If the blade runs into  

the square, the top guide goes to the  

square. If the blade runs away from the  

square, the top guide goes away from  

the square.

of the saw. Construct the square using one

6. The rollers are mounted on an eccentric  

hub. Turning a roller when the roller nut  

is loose will cause the roller to change  

its position. You may have to lift the front  

roller carriage bar to rotate the eccentric  

hub. Turn the roller until it contacts the  

straight edge, being careful not to bend  

or bow the straight edge when reposi-  

tioning the wheel. Tighten the roller nut  

securely, making sure the roller does not  

change position. Repeat this process as  

needed for the remaining rollers.

ness. Drill holes and attach the rulers with  

pop rivets or small nuts and bolts. Use the

It is not necessary to remove the coun-  

terbalance to perform this procedure.  

(Fig. 13). If burn marks appear on the  

left side of the workpiece, rotate the  

saw slightly clockwise until the entire  

face of the blade contacts the square.  

If burn marks appear on the right side  

of the workpiece, rotate the saw slightly  

counterclockwise until the entire face of  

the blade contacts the square. ONLY  

make slight adjustments.
