Setting the Blade Guides (above table)
1. Loosen the guide assembly butterfly clamp and lower the
upper blade guide to approximately 1 1/2”(38mm) above the
table using height adjusting knob, see fig 27-28. Clamp in place.
Loosen the butterfly screw (A), holding the guide assembly in
place and adjust the fore and aft position by turning the
adjustment knob (B) so that the leading edges of the side
guide bearings are approximately 2mm behind the gullets of
the saw blade. Re-tighten the butterfly screw, see fig 29-30.
Table Insert
Place a straight edge across the table inset and check its level
with cast iron table. If adjustment is required, remove the inset
and place aside. Around the inside edge of the machined recess
there are five height adjustable grub screws, adjust each screw
in turn until the table insert is level with the main table, see fig
25.
