1. PRECISION SETTING OF ANGLES (SEE I-L)
While the machine has been factory set, it is
advisable that the 0o setting of the rotary table
and the 90o
perpendicular
setting of the tilt be
checked, as these
positions may have
moved in transit.
(Ensure power
is disconnected
while making
these adjustments).
To confirm the 0
o
rotary table setting,
set the rotary table
at 0
and tighten
o
the rotary table
locking knob.
Check that the
angle between the
straight guide and
the blade is 90
o
using a try square
(a, not supplied) as
shown in Fig.I. If
the angle requires
adjustment, loosen
the locking screws
for straight guide
(21), and align the
fence against the
try square.
Re-tighten the
locking screws for
straight guide.
Similarly, check
that the angle of the blade to the face of the
rotary table is 90o. If necessary, adjust the tilt
angle of the saw head at the 90
loosening the set screw (b) for 90
When the 90o position is correct, tighten the
locknut (c) on the set screw for 90
The 45
bevel tilt should also be adjusted use a
o
38
position by
o
(See J, K)
o
.
o
45
set square or miter gauge (a, not supplied),
o
to check the 45
angle, adjust the set screw (d)
o
for 45
to set the correct stop position, then
o
tighten the locknut (e) on the set screw for 45
(See K, L)
2. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE (SEE M, N)
Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
Lower the saw head until the blade securing bolt
can be seen.
Press blade
spindle lock (f)
and rotate the
blade until it is
locked, then
loosen and
remove the blade

left hand thread.
Remove the blade,
(we recommend
the use of a stout
glove for this).
Clean any saw dust and debris from the arbor
and saw blade
securing flanges.
To refit the blade,
follow the above
procedure in
reverse order. If
you want to take
the inner flange out
for cleaning, refit it
as shown in Fig.O.
3. REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES (SEE P)
—Check the carbon brushes regularly. If the
carbon brushes are worn down to about 4mm,
replace them with the new set (not supplied). It
must be replaced
in pairs.
—With a suitable
slotted screwdriver
turn the cap anti-
