Setting the table square with the blade
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the
power point.
2. Push the saw arm (1) down to its lowest position and
engage the release knob (2) to hold the saw arm in the
transport position.
3. Loosen the mitre table lock
(15) (Fig. S).
4. Rotate the mitre table
(12) until the pointer is
positioned at 0º.
5. Tighten the mitre table lock
(15).
6. Loosen the bevel lock (7)
and set the saw arm (1)
at 0º bevel (the blade at 90º to the mitre table).
Tighten the bevel lock (7) (Fig. T).
7. Place a set square against the mitre table (12) and the
flat part of the blade (Fig. U).
Note.
Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the
saw blade, not the teeth.
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
9. The edge of the set square and the saw blade should
be parallel.
10. If the saw blade angles away from the set square,
adjust as follows.
11. Use a 13 mm spanner
or adjustable wrench
to loosen the lock nut
securing the 0° bevel
adjustment screw (10)
(Fig. V). Also, loosen the
bevel lock (7).
12. Adjust the 0° bevel
adjustment screw (10) with
the 6 mm hex key to bring
the saw blade into alignment
with the square (Fig. W).
13. Loosen the Phillips head
screw holding the pointer
of the bevel scale (8) and
adjust the position of the
pointer so that it accurately
indicates zero on the scale
(Fig. X). Retighten the screw.
14. Retighten the bevel lock
(7) and the lock nut
securing the 0° bevel
adjustment screw (10).
Note.
The above procedure
can also be used to check the
angle of the saw blade to the
table at 45º bevel angle to the
left. The 45° bevel adjustment
screw (9) is the side of the saw arm. You will require a 13 mm
spanner or adjustable wrench (not supplied) for the lock nut
(Fig. Y) and the 6 mm hex key for the set screws (Fig. Z).
