Setting up your saw

anticlockwise direction to slacken
Tracking control and lock
After ensuring that the quick adjuster is set in
the + position, adjust the blade tension with
the hand wheel on top of the upper housing.
‘Pluck’ the back of the blade, as you would
the string of a double bass, at this
point. As the blade tension is increased, the
pitch of the sound will rise. Stop increasing
the tension as soon as the sound starts to
become dull. Alternatively, raise the blade
guard to its highest position and adjust
tension until the blade, at the midpoint
between table and guard can be deflected
only 3 to 5 mm with finger pressure.
Turn the upper wheel clockwise, by hand and
adjust the tracking control until the blade is
centred on the wheel, as shown in the inset
illustration. Lock the adjuster in this position.
The upper and lower thrust and guide
bearings should be set up next.
Thrust bearing
Guide bearing
Guide bearing locking screws
Thrust bearing locking screw
The thrust bearing should be about 0.5 mm
behind the back of the blade. Adjust it and
lock it place.
Slacken the guide bearing locking screws,
move the bearings in until they touch the
blade. Rotate the top wheel by hand a
few turns and lock the bearings in place.
