Ensuring Head is Square
Fig.46
It is important to ensure the saw blade is square
to the Back Fence at all times to ensure absolute
accuracy when both cross cutting and ripping,
using the table saw.
Check periodically by grasping the head
lowering handle and turning to retract the blade
guard, thereby exposing the saw blade.
Lower the head so that an engineers square may
be placed on the table, against the back fence,
as illustrated in Fig.46.
Bring the square up to the saw blade and check
to ensure it is exactly 90
O
.
Should adjustment be necessary, slacken off the
locknut, arrowed in Fig. 47, then turn the adjuster,
using an 8mm hex wrench (supplied), until the
head is exactly at 90
O
.
When satisfied, retighten the locknut.
Once this adjustment is carried out, check to
ensure the pointer is directly over the 0
O
mark. If
this is not the case, undo all scale securing screws,
and move the scale as required to ensure the
pointer is ‘zeroed’. Tighten the screws when
satisfied.

Centralising the Head
The saw blade should be central within the
opening of the Table Insert. Damage to the
plastic table insert indicates that the blade is out
of alignment.
NOTE: The table insert is secured to the table by
six screws, on the Table Saw side of the table.
To adjust the position of the head and hence
the saw blade, slacken off the lock nut, shown
at ‘A’, Fig.48, then turn the Ring Nut - ‘B’, tapping
gently with a brass drift if necessary, clockwise
to move the head to the LEFT or anticlockwise,
as necessary, until the blade is central within the
table insert.
When satisfied, retighten the locknut ‘A’.
NOTE: If the plastic Table Insert is damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
