Assembling the Saw...
Fitting the saw table :-
1.Remove the table insert, the table fence, the table stabilising bolt and butterfly nut & washer
(if fitted). (See figs 1 & 10)
2.Manoeuvre the table carefully around the blade (if still fitted). Balance the table on the edge of the
tilt housing.The securing bolt for the tilt mechanism (an M8x50 coach bolt) is pre-fitted into the tilt
quadrant. Remove the butterfly nut and the washer and fit the tilt quadrant into the tilt housing. Ensure
that the bolt is correctly inserted through the slot and that the little rib cast on the tilt housing
corresponds to the groove in the tilt quadrant. Check that the square under the bolt head is correctly
located in its recess in the casting and refit the washer and the butterfly nut. (See fig A,B & C)
NOTE: Before tightening, check that the tilt mechanism functions correctly. If it doesn’t, something is
probably slightly mis-aligned, slacken off the butterfly nut, re-position the quadrant and try again.
When everything is satisfactory, set the table flat, and tighten the tilt mechanism.
3. Replace the blade (if it had been removed), slipping it through the slot in the table, through the
guards and the guides and over the wheels; apply some tension to the blade to hold it in place.
4.Replace the table insert, the table stabilising bolt, the table fence & butterfly nuts. (See figs D & E).
Locate the guide fence and slot the clamp lever assembly over the table fence and press down guide
fence clamping lever to lock the guide fence in place. (See fig E).
