The mechanism also has adjustment screws
that enable the saw blade to “track” evenly on
the blade wheels. The adjustment screws
change the angle of the driven blade wheel shaft
so the wheels are aligned. Tracking adjustments
are generally made after the saw blade is
changed but may be required periodically due to
wear over time.

Work Stop
A work stop is provided with the machine to
allow cutting multiple pieces of identical length
(refer to Figure 12). The stop consists of a rod
onto which is installed a stop bracket, a tapered
stop, a clamping knob and a locking handle. The
rod is installed in a bore in the front of the saw
bed. The stop bracket is positioned on the rod
with the tapered stop toward the end of the
workpiece. The bracket is moved in or out on the
rod to establish the length of the workpiece.

Remove the saw from the shipping skid; discard
any hold-down devices. Place the saw on the
shop floor; secure the saw to the floor using
mounting anchors secured through four holes in
the machine base. If the saw will be used to cut
long pieces of stock, allow plenty of room for the
length of the stock.

Minimal assembly is required (see to Fig. 4),
consisting of mounting the control box, motor,
pulley guard/cover assembly and motor drive
belt. The mounting hardware is already in place
on the saw head. Loosen or remove the
hardware, placing the components (listed above)
in place and secure. For the drive belt, refer to
the Drive Belt section on page 19.
