Screw in and lock the push stick hanger on

This completes the assembly of your saw.
Setting up your saw
Blade tensioner
Blade guard positioner and lock
Tracking control and lock
Adjust the blade tension by 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.
