ERBAUER 216MM (8”) SLIDING MITRE SAW
6. Mitre scale indicator adjustment
1) Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
2) Loosen the screw (4) that holds the indicator
with a Phillips screwdriver.
3) Adjust the indicator (3) to the 0° mark and
retighten screw (See fi g. 26).
7. Adjusting fence squareness
1) Loosen the four fence locking bolts (1).
2) Lower the cutting arm and lock in position.
3) Using a square (3), lay the heel of the square
against the blade and the ruler against the fence
(2) as shown.
4) Adjust the fence 90° to the blade and tighten the
four fence locking bolts.
Caution:
If the saw has not been used
recently, recheck blade squareness to the
fence and readjust if needed.
5) After fence has been aligned, using a scrap
piece of wood, make a cut at 90
o
then check
squareness on the piece. Readjust if necessary
(See fi g. 27).
8. Setting cutting depth
The depth of cut can be preset for even and
repetitive shallow cuts.
1) Adjust the cutting head down (See CUTTING
HEAD section) until the teeth of the blade are at
the desired depth.
2) While holding the upper arm in that position, turn
the stop knob (1) until it touches the stop plate (2).
3) Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting
head front to back through the full motion of a
typical cut along the control arm (See fi g. 28).
9. Adjusting cutting depth
The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was
set at the factory. Check to see that the blade does
not extend more than 6.35 mm below the table
insert, and does not touch the control arm throat or
any part of the base or table. If the maximum depth
needs readjusting:
1) Loosen the stop knob (1) while moving the
cutting head down until the blade extends just 6.35
mm below the table insert.
2) Adjust the stop knob (1) to touch the stop plate (2).
3) Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting
head front to back through the full motion of a cut
along the control arm. If the blade touches the
inside of the control arm, readjust the setting (See
fi g. 28).
