OPERATION (cont.)
•
Slide the entire guide block forward, allowing the front
edge of the guide bearings to sit 0.5mm from the front of
the blade teeth (Fig.32). Once positioned, tighten the
guide nut to lock into place.
•
Loosen the guide bearing
retainer nuts (Fig.33) with
the supplied hex key (32)
& the rear support bearing
(Fig.34) with the supplied
spanner (33), allowing
them to slide freely.
•
Move the front guide
bearings to within 0.5mm, either side of the blade (Fig.33).
Once positioned they can be locked in place by
tightening the nut.
•
Slide the rear support bearing to within 0.5mm of the
rear of the blade (Fig.35).
Note:
Ensure the guide bearings are NOT touching the blade when the unit is idle. The
blade must have some movement to ensure optimal performance and durability.
Adjusting the Upper Blade Guide (4) (Fig. 36)
The upper blade guide (4) should always be set as close as
practical against the workpiece.
1.
While holding the upper blade guide (4), loosen the
upper blade guide knob (3).
2.
Lower or raise the upper blade guide (4) as close as
possible to the workpiece to be cut, approx. 2-3mm.

Tighten upper blade guide knob (3).
4.
Check the setting before each cut and re-adjust if necessary.
Adjusting the Saw Table (19) (Fig. 37)
