The door on the left side of the saw (the nameplate with model number) opens to expose the working parts of the saw. The eccentric (Code #52 on the parts diagram) has probably loosened over time. Tighten the set screw on the eccentric. Also check the Allen head holding the connecting link to the eccentric. To help reduce vibration, be sure to set your saw on carpet padding and fasten securely to the workbench or stand.
