ADJUSTINGCARRIAGEBEARINGS
The carriage should roll freely but with some resist-
ance for the entire length of travel. To test for
bearing looseness, perform the following steps.
1. Place yoke in either the in-rip or out-rip position.
2. Push the carriage back against the rear stop.
3. Hold the front carriage bearing with your fingers
as tight as possible and pull carriage forward at
the same time. If you can prevent the bearing
from turning an adjustment is required.
To adjust the carriage bearings perform the following
steps.
1. Clean and lubricate the bearing races and the
bead on which they ride prior to adjustment.
2. With a 9/16 inch wrench and a 1/2 inch wrench
loosen the 5/16-18 hex nuts just enough to
permit the eccentric screw to turn.
3. Rotate the eccentric screws a partial turn (left or
right) as required to take up looseness. Both
screws should be adjusted an equal amount to
maintain blade squareness table in the rip
positions.
4. Hold the head of the eccentric screws in their
new position and retighten the nuts.
5. Repeat the test procedure described above and
re-adjust if necessary. NOTE: Over tightening
the bearings will cause difficult operation and
severely reduce the life of the track and bearings.
MITER LOCK ADJUSTMENT
The miter lock handle operates adjustable locking
bands which lock the arm to the column tube in both
indexed and unindexed positions. If the arm can be
easily moved by hand when locked in an unindexed
position the following adjustment must be made.
1. Movethe arm to an unindexed position and leave
the miter lock handle in the unlocked position.
