Checking the table is square
Loosen the two clamping knobs beneath the
table, clamping the tilt mechanism. Lower the table
until its against the stop (19). This is a bolt with a lock
nut screwed into the underside of the table, see fig 59.
The head of the bolt acts as a stop when it strikes the
machine frame. Tighten the clamping knobs.

Levelling stop bolt
Make sure the upper blade guide is raised as high as
possible. Place a square on the table and move it up
against the blade (behind the teeth), see fig 60.
Check that the blade is perpendicular to the table. If it is
not, try resetting the table. If it is still not correct, loosen
the table locking knobs, see figs 61 and adjust the table
stop bolt nut until perpendicularity is achieved, see fig 62

Tighten the lock nut and then re-check. When you are
satisfied that the table is set correctly, check that the
pointer of the tilt scale reads zero, if not, adjust it, see
fig 63. Retighten the table clamping knobs.
