15breaker in the branch circuit.2. Move the upper blade guide assembly to thevery top of its travel.3. Make sure the blade is straight, and fullytensioned. (A damaged or worn blade mayprovide a poor reference surface for squaringthe table.)4. Loosen the table lock knobs and hold thetable firmly against its positive leveling stop.6. Using a machinist’s square, check to makesure the table is 90 degrees to the blade.USING LEATHER PROTECTIVE GLOVES,turn the upper drive wheel to check thesquareness at a minimum of three points onthe blade7. If the table is not level, unlock the lock nut onthe table leveling bolt.8. Turn the leveling bolt as required to make thetable square to the blade.9. Lock the leveling bolt lock nut and recheck thetable level. When the table is level...10. Lock the table lock knobs securely andrecheck for level. Adjust as necessary untilthe table is level while everything is tightenedto working tightness.11. With everything locked down, look at thepointer for the angle gauge. It should beexactly on the zero mark of the gauge (Figure12). If not, loosen the pointer screw, adjust thepointer until it is on zero, then tighten thepointer screw while holding the pointer se-curely in position on zero.Adjusting Miter Gauge Slot ParallelismThe miter slot should be parallel to the side of theblade. If the saw is not cutting straight when usingthe miter gauge, the miter slot may not be parallel.1. Put a straight edge against the blade. Makesure to position the blade so tooth offset doesnot affect the straight edge.VariableSpeedControlFront View Top ViewSpeedIndicatorFigure 9. Variable Speed Control2. Measure from both ends of the miter slot to thestraight edge.3. If the measurements arenot equal at both ends of the slot, loosen sixbolts securing the table to the table trunnions(see Figures 12 and 13.)4. Adjust the table until it is parallel with the blade.5. Tighten the trunnion attaching bolts.Adjusting Blade Speed(Models J-8201/J-8203)Figure 6 on page 9 provides blade speeds forvarious materials. To adjust the blade speed,change the clutch position of the clutch (in or out)and the position of the drive belt on the pulleys onthe motor and reduction gearbox shafts.Adjusting Blade Speed(Models J-8201VS/J-8203VS)See Figure 9 at bottom of this page.1. The blade speed is controlled by an adjust-ment mechanism on the right end of thesaw. Speed increases or decreases as theknob is turned2. A placard on the drive belt guard (shownbelow) provides recommended speeds forvarious materials.3. A speed indicator is provided on the barrel ofthe adjustment mechanism. In surface feet perminute; Position 0 = 334, 1 = 262, 2 = 216, 3 =171, 4 = 137, and 5 = 116.4. Turn the speed adjustment knob to the desiredsetting as determined by the material beingcut.Changing Clutch PositionWARNING: NEVER attempt to shift the clutchmechanism while the saw is running. Thesaw must be turned off before clutch shifted.
