ALIGNING THE BLADE AND THE MITRE TABLE
See Figures 25 to 28.
•
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
WARNING: Failure to remove the battery pack from the saw could result in the saw starting accidentally and cause
serious personal injury.
•
Push the saw arm right down and engage the locking pin to hold the saw arm down in transport position.
•
Raise the mitre table clamping lever.
•
Rotate the mitre table until the index is aligned on 0°.
•
Push the mitre table clamping lever back down.
•
Slacken the bevel clamping knob and set the saw arm to 0° (the blade should be at 90° to the mitre table). Tighten the
bevel clamping knob.
•
Place a combination square against the mitre table and the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the combination square is in contact with the flat part of the saw blade, not the teeth.
•
Rotate the blade by hand and check the angle between the blade and the table at several points.
•
The edge of the combination square and the saw blade should be parallel as shown in figure 25.
•
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from the square as shown in figures 26 and 27, adjustment is required.
•
Using a 10 mm spanner or adjustable spanner, slacken the lock nut on the pre-set angle adjustment screw. Then slacken
the bevel clamping knob.
•
Adjust the pre-set angle adjustment screw to bring the saw blade into alignment with the combination square.
See Figure 28.
•
Retighten the bevel clamping knob. Then retighten the lock nut on the preset angle adjustment screw. Check the angle
between the blade and the table.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check the angle of the saw blade to the mitre table at both 0° and 45°.
