Squaring
Adjusting the squareness
NOTE:
Before making any adjustments carry out the squareness check as desribed in the
previous page.
It is assumed that the board used for the test is still clamped in the machine. From the test results
determine if the last cut made in the top of the board is to the left or right of the previous cut, as
shown above:
1.
Slacken the two screws (A) joining the squaring arm to the two legs.
2.
Slacken the left hand nut (B) joining the squaring arm to the main body, make sure the right
hand nut (C) is tight.
3.
Release the clamp and position the board such that the blade is held in the cut on the bottom
edge of the board. Press down on the board to make sure it is in good contact with the
squaring arm.
4.
Turn the squaring adjustment knob (4) on the right hand leg in the direction described next
dependent upon the position of the top two cuts. If the second cut is to the right of the first cut
turn the adjustment screw clockwise when viewed from underneath. If the second cut is to
the left of the first cut turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise when viewed from
underneath. The adjustment screw should be moved so that when the blade is moved to the
top of the board it cuts between two existing cuts, the plastic sightline fixed to the edge of
the clamp gives an indication where the machine is going to cut.
5.
Repeat the squareness check.
6.
Tighten the screws/nut (A, & B).
