ASSEMBLY
Before the machine can be used, the loose parts must first be assembled to it, and certain adjustments
carried out. Please proceed as follows:
A. Handle (
to Blade Height Adjuster Handwheel - see illustration, page 7)
1.
Locate the small plastic handle, (item K, Fig. 2). with the centre screw and nut, and screw the
nut in fully so that it butts up against the handle.
2.
Screw the centre screw, with the handle, into
the rim of the Blade Height Adjuster handwheel
until the nut binds up against the rim. Back off
the screw slightly and hold it in that position whilst
you screw out the nut until it is tight against the
rim of the handwheel, thereby locking the
centre screw in position,
When properly assembled, the handle will rotate freely about the screw, with only a small amount
of end play.
B. The Saw Blade
(If not fitted)
CAUTION!
Exercise extreme care when handling the Saw Blade,
The teeth are extremely sharp......carelessness could cause severe personal injury
1.
Turn Blade height adjuster handwheel clockwise until the arbour is up as high as it will go. remove
the two table Insert screws and lift the table insert out of the recess in the table.
2.
Place the open end arbour spanner on the flats on the inner flange to prevent the arbour from
rotating, and remove the blade securing nut using the spanner provided. Remove the outer
flange.
3.
Manoeuvre the blade gently through the slot in the table, so as not to damage the teeth, and
mount it on the arbour, ensuring the TEETH OF THE BLADE ARE POINTING DOWN AT THE FRONT OF
THE TABLE.
4.
Replace the outer flange, followed by the blade securing nut, and tighten securely.
5.
Replace the table insert in the recess in the table, and secure in place - the turned over edge of
the insert faces the blade. Ensure the blade rotates truly and freely - by hand.
