Rotate the top wheel by hand, at this point. None of the
bearings should come into contact with the blade-only
when in use. Adjust the lower blade guides, and set them
similarly to the upper guides, using a Hex key to release
and tighten the Hex screws, see figs 78-79.
To adjust the lower thrust bearing, loosen the butterfly
screw (D), see fig 80, turn the adjusting knob (E) to move
the thrust bearing approximately 1mm behind the blade,
see fig 82. Re-tighten the butterfly screw (D).
When all adjustments have been made, recheck that
when the blade is pressed back against the thrust
bearing, both the upper and lower side guides are still
behind the teeth of the saw. Replace the guide bearing
guards you removed eariler, see fig 75 and replace the
cast iron table.

When all adjustments are complete re-connect the
power, switch the saw on, allow to run for several
minutes, check that the blade is still tracking correctly,
there is no excessive vibration, etc. Switch off. The saw is
ready to be used.
