saw. Once made, these adjustments should remain
accurate.
Adjusting the traverse bars for constant
cutting depth (fi g. 1, 2, 11, 12)
The blade must run at a constant cutting depth along the
full length of the table and must not touch the fi xed table
at the rear of the slot or at the front of the rotating arm. To
achieve this, the traverse arms must be perfectly parallel
to the table when the saw head is fully depressed.
1. Press the lower guard lock up release lever (b)
(fi g. 1).
2. Press the saw head fully to the rear position and
measure the height from the rotating table (n) to the
bottom of the outer fl ange (e) (fi g. 11).
3. Turn the saw head traverse lock (r) (fi g. 2).
4. Keeping the saw head fully depressed, pull the head
to the end of its travel.
5. Measure the height indicated in fi gure 11 again. Both
values should be identical.
6. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows
(fi g.12):
a. Loosen the locknut (tt) in the (uu) bracket under
the upper dust extraction nozzle (q) and adjust
the screw (vv) as required, proceeding in small
steps.
b. Tighten the locknut (tt).
WARNING:
Always check that the blade
does not touch the table at the rear of the
slot or at the front of the rotating arm at 90°
vertical and 45° bevel positions. Do not
switch on before having checked this!
Adjusting the fence (fi g. 13)
Turn the sliding fence lock knob (i) anti-clockwise to
loosen. Move the sliding fence (p) to a position that
avoids the blade cuts it, then tighten the fence lock knob
by turning clockwise.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the
fence (fi g. 2, 14, 15)
1. Slacken the mitre latch (m).
2. Place your thumb on the mitre arm (l) and squeeze
the mitre latch (m) to release the rotating table/mitre
arm (n).
3. Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the
0° mitre position.
4. Pull down the head and lock it in this position using
the lock down button (w).
5. Check that the two 0° markings (ww) on the mitre
scale (o) are just visible.
6. Place a square (xx) against the left side of the fence
(p) and blade (h).
WARNING:
Do not touch the tips of the blade
teeth with the square.
7. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the screws (yy) and move the scale/mi-
tre arm assembly left or right until the blade is at
90° to the fence as measured with the square
(fi g. 14).
b. Retighten the screws (yy).
Checking and adjusting the blade to the
table (fi g. 16 - 19)
1. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (t) (fi g. 16).
2. Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully
vertical and tighten the bevel clamp handle.
3. Place a set square (xx) on the table and up against
the blade (h) (fi g. 17).
WARNING:
Do not touch the tips of the blade
teeth with the square.
4. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (t) and turn the
vertical position adjustment stop screw (zz) in
or out until the blade is at 90° to the table as
measured with the square.
b. If the bevel pointer (a1) does not indicate zero
on the bevel scale (u), loosen the screws (a2)
that secure the scale and move the scale as
necessary.
Checking and adjusting the bevel angle
(fi g. 1, 18, 19)
The bevel override allows the max. bevel angle to be set
at 45° or 48° as required.
• Left
=
45°
• Right
=
48°
1. Make sure the override knob (a3) is located in the
left position.
2. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (t) and move the saw
head to the left.
3. This is the 45° bevel position.
4. If adjustment is required, turn the stopscrew (a4) in
or out as necessary until the pointer (a1) indicates
45°.
WARNING:
The guide grooves can become
clogged with sawdust. Use a stick or some low
pressure air to clear the guide grooves.
