1. Remove the (2) 1/4 - 20 nuts, (2) washers and (2)
1/4"-20 x 5/8" carriage bolts from the counterbal-
ance. Leave the nut and bolt on the counterbal-
ance cable in place.
2. Remove the end of the cable from the inside of
the counterbalance. The counterbalance must be
installed off-center to the right (while facing the
saw from the front): holes are cut into the top of
the tool frame.
3. Secure the counterbalance to the tool using (2)
carriage bolts, (2) washers, and (2) nuts.
NOTE: The carriage bolts are installed from the
bottom up. Tighten nuts securely.
4. Hold the saw carriage securely while loosening
the carriage lock.
5. Raise the saw carriage until the oval hole in the
saw carriage aligns with the eye hole in the coun-
terbalance cable, making sure the cable is behind
the saw carriage.
6. Tighten the carriage lock.
7. Remove the nut from the carriage bolt and insert
the bolt through the hole in the saw carriage and
the eye hole in the counterbalance cable. Thread
the nut onto the bolt and tighten securely.
8. Bend the cable clip tabs down by hand.
9. Loosen the carriage lock and lower the saw car-
riage until the cable clip is fully exposed.
