Setting Up the Saw
15
Checking the table is square
If the preset table stop has been fitted, proceed as
follows:-
Loosen the lift and shift handle clamping the tilt
mechanism, see fig 15, and turn the table hard
against its stop. This is a bolt with a lock nut screwed
into the underside of the table, see fig 16, that acts as
a stop when it strikes the machine frame. Tighten the
butterfly nut.
Fig 15-16
Lift & Shift Handle
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 17.
Fig 17
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 locking nut and
adjust the bolt until perpendicularity is achieved, see
fig 16. 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 gauge reads zero, if not,
adjust it, see fig 18.

Setting the Fence
Always make sure the fence is parallel to the table
by placing an engineer’s rule against the fence and
setting equal distances to the front and back face of
the fence, see figs 19-20.
