Height preset
A large bolt threaded into the front part of the quadrant. It strikes against a
(See fig 5)
lower protrusion on the main frame casting. Adjusting the height of the bolt
will govern the depth of cut of the saw blade. The Off switch striker can then
be adjusted to switch the saw off at this position if so required. As with the
switch striker, the preset height bolt is held in position by a lock nut.
Anchor/transport
A short length of chain fixed to the base, that can be anchored to the saw
chain
frame, using a small ‘star handled’ bolt through one of the links. This will keep
(See fig 9d)
the saw anchored ‘down’ during transit.
Extended table
A small pressed steel table that is bolted on to the side of the base alongside
(See fig8)
the vice. It can act as a ‘catcher’ for the smaller lengths that can be cut off by
the saw.
