Adjustments
IMPORTANT: To achieve the best performance and maintain the maximum level of safety,
certain adjustments must be made, BEFORE use.
WARNING! The machine MUST be disconnected from the mains supply
before any adjustments are made.
(a) Table Adjustment
The screw (21) allows the table to be adjusted so that it is square to the blade.
With the table securing knobs (18) slackened, slide a small square across the table so that
it contacts the side of the blade, then check to ensure the angle made is a right angle. If
necessary turn the adjuster screw (21) clockwise or anticlockwise, whilst maintaining a slight
pressure on the adjusting screw side of the table top, until the table is at 90 degrees to the
blade. Tighten the table securing knobs, then check the table angle Indictor (20). If
necessary, reposition the pointer so that it points to zero on the scale.
(b) Blade Tension
1. Slacken the blade tension locking knob (25) one full turn.
2. Adjust the blade tension Hex. socket head adjuster screw (24) a little at a time:
clockwise to tighten increase tension, anticlockwise to decrease.
3. When correct tension has been achieved tighten the blade tension locking knob (25).
The blade needs to be tight enough to give a straight cut without allowing it to wander
or slip or lose its tracking, but must not be so tight that it is rigid, there must be a certain
degree of flexibility.
A few minutes using the machine will allow you to get a feel for correct blade tension.
If the saw is not to be used for some time we recommend that you release the tension on
the blade. REMEMBER therefore to ALWAYS check blade tension before use.
(c) Blade Tracking
NOTE: This adjustment is carried out at the factory. It is not therefore necessary to check or
readjust before use for the first time.
The adjustment MUST be made whenever replacing a saw blade or if the saw blade runs off
the wheels.
The blade must 'track' correctly otherwise it will continually run off the drive and idler wheels.
The blade should run in the middle of the wheels rims, and the procedure for checking and
adjusting is as follows:
