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 first of all 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, firstly slacken
the Bevel Locking Handle C, then slacken off the adjuster locknut at A,
screw the adjuster 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
Handle C.
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.
