Assembling the Saw
Lift the saw on to the completed floor stand, and secure using the 4 No. M8x40 bolts. ( Insert the bolts
through the base of the saw, through the floor stand and fit the washers and nuts on the underside).
The saw table can be fitted without removing the blade, however, if you would feel more comfortable
not having to manoeuvre the table around the blade (the table is quite heavy), remove the blade by
opening the top and bottom covers, release the tension on the blade by backing off the tensioning
wheel (See fig 3), and remove the blade, taking care as it is manoeuvred clear of the guides and the
safety guards.
Preparing the saw table for fitting:-
1.Remove the guide fence rail by loosening the 4 No. bolts holding it to the front of the table. Remove
the table insert.
2. Put a small pencil ‘X’ on the front of the tilt quadrant body. (It will save you working out which way
round it fits). Turn the table upside down, locate the 4 No. bolts securing the tilt quadrant to the table,
loosen and remove them and their washers, (you will need an 11mm spanner). Lift the tilt quadrant
away from the table. Note. There are normally spacing washers fitted between the table and the feet
of the tilt quadrant. Don’t loose them.
3. The securing bolt for the tilt mechanism (an M8x50 coach bolt) is pre-fitted into the tilt quadrant.
Remove the butterfly nut and the washer and fit the tilt quadrant into the tilt housing. Ensure that the
bolt is correctly inserted through the slot and that the little rib cast on the tilt housing corresponds to
the groove in the tilt quadrant. Check that the square under the bolt head is correctly located in its
recess in the casting and refit the washer and the butterfly nut. Before tightening, check that the tilt
mechanism functions correctly. If it doesn’t, something is probably slightly mis-aligned, slacken off the
butterfly nut, re-position the quadrant and try again. When everything is satisfactory, set the tilt
quadrant so that the mounting feet are horizontal and tighten.
4. Place the 4 spacing washers over the holes in the tilt quadrant feet and lift the table into position.
Insert the washered bolts through the feet, the spacing washers, and screw into the table. (As you
insert each bolt and establish a turn or turn and a half into the table I would suggest you leave the
bolts as slack as possible to enable you to manoeuvre the table around to achieve the fitting of the
other bolts). Make sure that you don’t displace the spacing washers during this manoeuvring. When
all the bolts are inserted, tighten firmly.
DO NOT OVER -TIGHTEN . Remember this is a casting, if you
drastically over-tighten you could strip the threads.
5. Replace the blade, slipping it through the slot in the table, through the guards and the guides and
over the wheels; apply some tension to the blade to hold it in place. Replace the guide fence rail.
6. If you wish to be able to isolate the saw physically, to prevent unauthorised or unsupervised usage,
a switch shroud is provided. The shroud and the integral dust cover are fitted over the On/Off switch
and secured with two small screws through holes in the outer bezel of the switch plate. It is
suggested that you mount the shroud so that the cover hinge is at the top, i.e. the cover pivots
upward. Although when the hinge becomes more flexible, this sometimes requires the cover to be
lifted out of the way to operate the ON button; in an emergency, a quick slap of the hand will close the
cover and switch the machine Off. With the cover closed a small padlock can be fitted to prevent the
cover being lifted and access to the ON button is denied.
