6
square does not touch the teeth on the blade as a
false reading may occur due to the thickness of
the tungsten carbide tip.
If adjustment is required proceed as follows.
Locate the adjusting screw and lock nut towards
the rear of the machine. Loosen the lock nut and
rotate the adjusting screw clockwise or
anti-clockwise, to increase or decrease the angle
of the blade. When the blade has been set to 90°
allow the saw to return to the upper position. Hold
the adjusting screw, and tighten the lock nut to
secure the setting. Lower the blade and re-check
the 90° angle on the bevel angle scale, making
fine adjustments if necessary.
NOTE: Check the position of the bevel angle
pointer and set to 0° on the angle scale if
necessary.
BLADE TO FENCE ALIGNMENT
CAUTION: The adjustment can only be made
after the blade has been aligned in the table slot.
The saw blade should be located exactly in the
centre of the blade slot, if it requires adjustment
loosen the nut and adjust the position of the blade
by rotating the adjusting nut Finally retighten the
nut.
Position the rotating table to the 0° position (90° to
the work support fence). Lower the saw head into
the down position. Place a suitable set square or
adjustable protractor against the blade. Carefully
move the set square up to the fence.
The angle should measure 90°.If adjustment is
necessary, loosen the lock nut using the supplied
hex key adjust until the blade is at 90° to the
fence. Re-secure the lock knob and re-check the
angle.
ADJUSTING THE 45° BEVEL STOP
Make sure that the rotating table is set at 0° on the
angle scale. Loosen the bevel position locking
lever located at the rear of the machine. Grip the
handle and move the cutting head assembly over
to the left, the scale should read 45°.
Position a suitable protractor or set square on the
table and measure the angle to the blade. It
15
should be 45° from the vertical position or 135°
from the table. If adjustment is required proceed
as follows:
Locate the adjusting screw and lock nut located
towards the rear of the machine. Loosen the lock
nut, and rotate the adjusting screw clockwise or
anti-clockwise, to increase or decrease the angle
of the blade. When the blade has been set to 45°
allow the cutting head to return to the upper
position. Hold the adjusting screw and tighten the
lock nut to secure the setting. Lower the cutting
head and re-check the 45° angle making a fine
adjustment if necessary. When the correct angle
of 45° is achieved, all that is required is to check
that the pointer aligns with 45° on the scale.
FINAL CHECK
With the machine switched OFF and
disconnected from the mains supply carry out the
following final check.
When all adjustments have been made, set the
machine at each of the maximum settings. Lower
the blade to its lowest position, and rotate the
blade by hand (it is advisable to wear gloves
whilst doing this) and ensure that the blade does
not foul on any part of the machine castings or
guards.
TABLE SAW MODE
WARNING! Before carrying out any maintenance
or adjustments the machine must be
disconnected from the mains power supply.
CONVERTING FROM MITRE SAW TO
TABLE SAW MODE
Set the rotating table to the 0º position then
engage the locking knob and tighten the rotating
table locking lever.
Set the saw head to the vertical 0º position and
tighten the bevel locking lever.
Lower the cutting head assembly downwards until
it stops. Rotate the lock knob in an anti clockwise
direction the cutting head will be locked in the
down position.
Pull the saw table tilt lock handle out and gently
turn the saw table over, release the saw table tilt
lock handle and ensure the table has locked into
position.
WARNING! When turning the saw table over
there is a risk of crushing. Do not reach between
