If you find that the cross cut is not entirely square, it will be necessary to adjust the
head using the 90° adjuster screw shown in Fig. 14.
To do this, slacken off the bevel locking lever, then lower the arm and lock in
place with the head locking knob.
Place a small square on the table, and bring the square up to the blade to test for
accuracy.
4. Head Adjustments
By removing the collar, it is possible to use blades with a 16mm bore.
4. Replace the blade, ensuring it is of the correct bore. Where necessary use a
collar to ensure it is a perfect fit on the spindle. Ensure also that all parts are
perfectly clean and the blades’ teeth point down at the front.
Additionally, the blade MUST be rated with a maximum speed greater than
4850RPM
Please note that spare blades are available from Clarke International. Please
see your Clarke dealer.
Replace the outer flange and screw in the centre bolt, remembering it has a
left hand thread - i.e. turn anticlockwise to tighten.

Should any adjustment be required,
slacken off the 90° adjuster screw lock nut
and screw the adjuster in or out, as
necessary, whilst holding the head firmly
against the stop. Tighten the securing nut
when the head is exactly perpendicular.
Similarly should the 45° stop require
adjusting, use a 45° template up against
the saw blade to set the adjuster to the
correct position.
3. Carbon Brushes Replacement
A spare pair of carbon brushes are supplied with the machine. Should it become
necessary to change these, evidenced by erratic performance, then, ensuring
the machine is disconnected from the mains supply, simply unscrew the brush
holder plugs, and pull out the worn brushes. Replace with new brushes, and screw
in the plug, taking care not to cross thread it.
