KF700 Power Drive - setup question

 

I picked up a new KF700SP on Thursday and it's almost ready to use, except for one major problem: The saw will only tilt between 19 and 25.7 degrees. I've read the manual three times and can't find any mention of a shipping bolt or wedge to remove. One hint is that my current-sensing dust collector turns on when I reach the limits. It doesn't turn on for any other power drive controls.?

Does someone know the trick?

Thanks,
Mike

That has to be frustrating…

How is that possible? The saw blade is at 0 degree by default, I cannot image Felder ships a saw with the blade tilted at 19 degree.

Are you saying that the dust collector turns on, without the saw running but when you reach the two angle limits? Could be a bit of extra current draw at the limits. Seems like there is not enough headroom. Can you increase the kick on current limit on the sensor?

I do not have power drive so just guessing that a reset is needed as it might be lost and thinks the limits have been reached. Not sure how you reset it though.

Hi Mike!?

I received a KF700SP this year, and Felder had installed bolts to limit the range of the saw tilt to a narrow range like the condition you're describing. Worth a call to Felder on Monday, but I'd check the ways for the tilt and see if you can identify a bolt that was installed for shipping purposes.....?
