ADJUSTMENTS
Ref: Fig 16
It may be necessary from time to time, to check various settings and make
appropriate adjustments.
a. Squareness of Blade
It is most important to check that the blade is exactly perpendicular to the table.
To do this, place a small square on
the table and bring it up to the
blade, checking to see if it is square.
If an adjustment is required, first
slacken the Bevel Locking Knob,
then slacken off the adjuster locknut
T, screw the adjuster (S) in or out, as
the case may be until the blade is
exactly square, keeping light
pressure on the head to keep it in
contact with the adjuster screw.
When completely satisfied, lock the
adjuster with the lock nut, and with
the head resting against the stop,
tighten the Bevel Locking Knob.
NOTE: It simplifies matters if assistance is used during this process.
Check the position of the pointer in relation to the scale. If necessary zero the
pointer by slackening off the pointer securing screw, moving the pointer
accordingly and retighten the securing screw.
b. 45
O
Bevel Stop
Slacken off the Bevel Locking Knob, and tilt the Head to its maximum. Lower the
Blade and with a small 45
O
gauge between the bed and blade, check for
trueness of angle.
If an adjustment is required, slacken the locknut which secures the adjuster
shown at U in Fig.16. and is found beneath the table. Turn the adjuster in or out
as the case may be, using an appropriate Hex. wrench, to acquire the correct
angle. When satisfied, lock the adjuster with the locknut.
c. Squareness of Backfence
Place a square flat on the table with its base resting on the Backfence. If it is not
square with the edge of the slot in the table, slacken off the two backfence
securing screws R, Fig.2, using an appropriate Hex. wrench, sufficient to be able
to move the fence until it is square. When satisfied, tighten the securing screws.
d. Cutting Head Spring Tension
To increase the Cutting Head spring tension, screw the adjuster (O, Fig.2), ‘IN’
using an appropriate Hex. wrench, until the required tension is achieved.
