Positive Stops - Axminster AT254TS Manual

6.3 Aligning Table T-slot Parallel With
Blade
1,The table T-slot must be aligned parallel with the
blade. Using a combination square (A) as Fig.24,
measure the distance from the back edge of the
blade to the table T-slot. Pivot blade forward 180º
and remeasure the distance using the exact same
point on the blade. The difference between both
measurements must be less than 0.2mm.
2. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the screws
(B) as Fig.25 which fix to the table, make the
needed adjustment until both measurements are
equal or less than 0.2mm. and retighten the screws .

6.4 Adjusting 45 and 90 Degree

Positive Stops

The blade tilting mechanism of your saw is equipped
with a positive stop at 45 and 90 degrees. To check
and adjust these positive stops, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by turning
the blade tilting hand wheel counterclockwise as far
as it will go.
3. Place a square on the table and check to see if
the blade is at a perfect 90 degree angle to the
table.
4. If the blade is not at 90 degrees loosen lock nut (A)
As Fig.26 and turn stop ring (B) in or out. The stop
ring (B) should stop against the front trunnion
bracket when the blade is at 90 degrees to the table.
Recheck and adjust further if necessary. Retighten
lock nut (A).

5. If the 45 degree postive stop is not set properly,
turn the same hand wheel clockwise as far as it will
go and follow the same procedure using lock nut (C)
As Fig.27 and stop ring (D). The stop bolt (D) should
stop against the front trunnion bracket when the
blade is at 45 degrees to the table. Recheck and
adjust further if necessary. Retighten lock nut (C).
