If elevating the table saw blade is difficult or it gets stuck, there may be a few causes for this issue. Here are some steps to diagnose and fix the problem:
- Access the Manual:
- Visit the link to the latest manual to get detailed instructions: HW110S Instruction Manual Revision C.
- Visit the link to the latest manual to get detailed instructions: HW110S Instruction Manual Revision C.
Check for debris:
- Sawdust and debris can accumulate under the blade elevation mechanism and cause it to become difficult to raise or lower the blade. Use a brush or vacuum to clean out any debris.
Lubricate the mechanism:
- Apply lubricant to the blade elevation mechanism. Use a dry lubricant like graphite powder, which won't attract sawdust and debris.
Check for rust:
- Rust can cause the blade elevation mechanism to become difficult to move. Use a rust remover to clean off any rust on the mechanism, then apply a protective coating to prevent further rusting.
Check for misalignment:
- If the blade elevation mechanism is misaligned, it can cause the blade to bind. Inspect and use a straight edge to check for any misalignment and adjust as necessary.
Check for worn parts:
- If the mechanism is worn, it may need to be replaced. Check for any worn or damaged parts and replace as necessary.
Check for any binding in elevation shaft:
- The elevation shaft (#214) could be binding at where it meets with the vertical lift bolt (#216) which could be causing it to bind. Check this to see if there’s any issues or binding caused at this point.
