7.7 Tilting table
Refer to Figure 29:
Loosen lock knob (A).
Tilt table up to 45 degrees to the right or down 5 degrees
to the left. The angle can be read on the scale (B) on the
trunnion bracket.
Note: Table perpendicular (90º) to the blade corresponds
to a scale indication of 0º.
Tighten lock knob (A).
Note: The table stop (C) must be adjusted to permit the
table to tilt to the left.

NOTE: Lock handle (A, Figure 29) is adjustable
– pull

90º Table Stop Adjustment
7.8.1 Adjusting table stop
Refer to Figures29 and 30.
The table stop (C, Figure 29) is typically set to stop the table
at 90º (perpendicular) with the blade.
Disconnect machine from power source.
Loosen lock knob (A, Figure 29); then tilt table down,
bringing it to rest against table stop (C, Figure 29).
Use a square (E, Figure 30) placed on the table and against
the blade, to verify that table is 90º to blade.
If an adjustment is necessary, tilt table up to access table
stop (C, Figure 29).
Loosen jam nut (D, Figure 29) and turn table stop in or out
to raise or lower the stop. Tighten the jam nut to hold table
stop in place.
Tilt table back to level, letting it rest against the stop and
confirm table is 90º with the blade as described in step 3.
For left tilt down to 5º, the table stop (C, Figure 9) must be
adjusted further.
7.8.2 Adjusting table tilt indicator
Set table at 90º with blade.
Confirm that table tilt indicator (F, Figure 30) points to zero.
If adjustment is required:
Slightly loosen screw securing indicator, adjust indicator to
point to zero; then re-tighten screw.
Test run:
Turn the wheels by hand and inspect the adjustments made.
Start the machine with care.
Note:-
When using the table at an angle always have the rip
fence on the lower side of the table to support the
workpiece.
8. Maintenance and inspection
General notes:
Maintenance, cleaning and repair work may only be
carried out after the machine is protected against
accidental starting by pulling the mains plug.
Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may
only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Clean the machine regularly.
NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN
THE MACHINE. USE A BRUSH.
Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it
from overheating.
Inspect the proper function of the dust extraction daily.
All protective and safety devices must be re-attached
immediately after completed cleaning, repair and
maintenance work.
Defective safety devices must be replaced immediately.
Inspect the correct blade tension regularly. Take away the
blade tension if the machine is not in use for a longer time
period.
Inspect the blade guide adjustment regularly.
Wheels:
The rubber tyre of the wheels must be cleaned regularly.
The upper wheel support must be lubricated regularly.
