If any play is detected in the blade raising/lowering
or
blade tilting assemblies, the following adjustments
should be made.
Turn the power switch "OFF" and unplug the power
cord from its power source when making adjustments.
NOTE: In the illustration below, the table saw has been
turned upside down and the blade removed for clarity.
PROTECTING
CAST iRON TABLE
FROM RUST
MAKE CERTAIN to turn the power "OFF" and unplug
the power cord from its power source.
The environment and frequency of human contact can
have a very detrimental impact on unpainted cast iron
surfaces. Moisture, humidity and oils (from human
hands!) can cause the unpainted cast iron surfaces to
mar or rust, so it is important to conduct routine main-
tenance to keep your table saw looking new. Cleaning
and waxing the cast iron surfaces on a regular main-
tenance schedule is recommended
as follows:

To clean and maintain
the unpainted cast iron
surfaces:

•
Apply a heavy coat of WD-40 onto the unpainted
cast iron surface.
Use a fine steel wood pad to buff the unpainted
cast iron. Make sure to buff in a "front-to-rear"
direction only. A side-to-side buffing motion will
show in the finely ground cast iron as a flaw, defect
or scratches.

To adjust the blade raising/lowering
assembly,
loosen lock-nut (A) and turn the eccentric sleeve
(B) until all play is removed in the assembly, then
tighten lock-nut.
See figure 28-1
To adjust the blade tilting assembly, loosen lock-nut
(C) and turn the eccentric (D) until all play is
removed in the assembly, then tighten the lock-nut.
See figure 28-1.
Reapply WD-40 and buff the unpainted cast iron
surfaces until the stains or rust is removed. Make
sure you use the same front-to-rear buffing direction
to avoid scratching or marring the cast iron surface.
After all stains and/or rust have been removed,
clean all oil and dirt from the table saw using a soft
cloth or rag.
Lastly, you need to apply a good automotive paste
wax to all unpainted cast iron surfaces. This will
help to protect the saw from rusting from further
contact with moisture or oily hands.
