Travelling sizing table alignment
In order to align the travelling sizing table exactly, it
can be adjusted in two planes:
-
in height;
-
in lateral alignment.
Height adjustment
The surface of the travelling sizing table should be
approx. 0,5 mm above the surface of the saw table.
1. Loosen the hexagon socket head cap screws of
both angle brackets by approx. one turn (black
arrows).
2. Set the height with the two setting screws (grey
arrows) on the angle bracket:
·
turning setting screw out
= travelling sizing table lower.
·
turning setting screw in
= travelling sizing table higher.
Lateral traverse
The distance between saw table and travelling siz-
ing table must be between 9,5 and 10 mm over the
entire length.
1. Loosen hexagon socket head screws by
approx. one turn.
2. Adjust travelling sizing table position by light
taps with a rubber mallet.

head cap screws.
Blade tilt stop setting

table with the help of a try square.
2. If the 0˚ (90˚) stop does not exactly match the
