Instruction manual

Adjusting the Saw
Locate and loosen the 4 bolts that hold the fence to the chassis. Adjust as necessary until the
fence is square to the blade. Tighten the bolts, recheck that the blade and the fence are still
perpendicular by moving the turntable away from zero and then re-engaging the preset. If
necessary continue to adjust until the setting is correct. (See figs F & Fa)
Tilt Adjustment
Make sure the saw body frame is set in the upright position with the heel of the tilt frame casting
hard against the stop. Trip the guard latch and pull the saw over until it engages about 6 or so
teeth in the kerf plate; keeping the saw in this position, place an engineers square on the table
and move it into contact with the saw blade (not the teeth). Check the vertical, if the saw is out of
vertical, loosen the tilt clamping lever,(See fig H) tilt the body out of the way, loosen the lock nut
on the preset stop, (See fig G) adjust the stop, lock; then tilt the saw back upright against the
stop and repeat the procedure; repeat until the saw blade is vertical.
When the saw is vertical reset the tilt pointer to read zero on the scale.(See fig I) Loosen the tilt
clamping lever and tilt the saw until the toe of the tilt frame casting is hard down on its stop. The
pointer tilt scale should read 45 degrees. (See fig J) If this is not correct, carry out a similar
procedure to the vertical adjustment routine, adjusting that stop until the pointer reads 45
degrees against the scale. If possible check with a bevel gauge and a protractor, or a mitre gauge
if you have one. ( N.B. unless it has been damaged, the scale should be accurate, once the saw
has been set vertical and the pointer re-set).
