1.2 Adjusting the squareness
NOTE: Before making any adjustments carry out the squareness check as described in
Checking the machine for squareness>
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.
Use a 5mm Allen (Hex) key to slacken the two screws joining the
squaring arm to the two legs.
Use a 17mm spanner to slacken the left hand nut (A) joining the
squaring arm to the main body, make sure the right hand nut (B) is
tight
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.
Turn the squaring adjustment knob 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.
