Adjusting The 90° And 45° Positive Bevel Stops; Securing Saw To Floor; Preparing To Cut - Delta 36-5000 Manual De Instrucciones

ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° POSITIVE BEVEL STOPS
There are positive stops at each end of the bevel
range. To ensure accurate cuts, the positive stops
must be positioned at exactly at 90° and 45°. The bevel
stops are properly adjusted as shipped. However, for
maximum accuracy, you should check the position
of the stops upon assembly and from time to time to
assure that the settings remain satisfactory. To check
the position of the stops and adjust if necessary, refer
to Figure 14 and do the following.
1. Release the blade tilt lock knob.
2. Rotate the blade tilt handwheel clockwise and tilt the
blade away from, then back toward perpendicular
until the stop is reached the "stop position".
3. Using a carpenter's square, check the angle of the
blade face to the table, as shown in Figure 20b,
page 20. If the blade is at 90° to the table, proceed
to Step 6.
4. If the blade is not perpendicular to the table, turn
handwheel to slightly tilt the blade away from the
stop position then adjust the 90° stop by rotating
the socket set screw located in the table top
immediately in front of the left side of throat plate
(A). Re-check angle using the carpenter's square
and continue to adjust until the blade is at 90
degrees when returned to the stop position.

SECURING SAW TO FLOOR

This saw is designed for portability. Do
not attempt to use the saw to cut a
large or cumbersome workpiece without first taking
appropriate steps to protect against tipping the saw.
Examples of appropriate steps include the use of
support tables and/or securing the saw legs to the floor
by replacing the saw feet with connecting bolts or by
attaching the legs to a floor mounted bracket with
u-straps.
Failure to comply with the following
warnings may result in serious
personal injury.
• ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact
with the blade before operating the switch to start
the saw. Blade contact could result in kickback or
thrown workpiece.
• To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS
make sure the switch is in the off position before
plugging saw into power source.
