Blade perpendicularity
The perpendicularity of the blade to the work surface plus the blade tension are
vital for achieving straight cuts. This adjustment is carried out with the help of a
goniometer and a workshop square which should be placed adjacent to the blade
resting on the work surface.
"
disconnect the machine from the power supply;
"
open the cutting vice;
"
position the square on the cleaned work surface and rest it against the blade
close to the right hand vice jaw at a point where the blade teeth do not pre-
vent contact;
"
Slacken the head fixing screw (A) and adjust the two grub screws (B) if the
blade touches the square at the bottom. If the contact point is instead located
at the top of the square, slacken screw (A) and tighten grubs screws (B) to the
same torque until the blade is perpendicular to the square.
"
Position the square on the relative surface near the front head.
"
Repeat the squaring sequence described above on the front head.
