Setting the Machine

Setting the Tables
Place a long straight edge (as long as ext. table plus 2/3 metres main saw table min.) along one
long edge of the rear table and along the main table.
NOTE: The rear extension table brackets (7) can
be moved up and down within the slotted
fixing holes (A), and tilted forward or backward
using the adjusting bolts (B) in the frames
adjacent to the fixing bolts. Remember to
loosen or tighten the adjacent fixing bolt if you
are moving an adjusting bolt. (See figs 84-85)
Make sure all the fixing bolts are generally
finger tight. Set the near corner of the table to
the straight edge, by pushing, pulling, tapping
etc. Nip the securing bolts. Move the straight
edge to the other edge of the extension table,
repeat the procedure. Now, if necessary, adjust
the tilt to bring the far corner up to the straight
edge, tapping the near edge down (or up), if

Setting the Sliding Tables

NOTE 1. With the bracket fixing bolts in a loose condition ensure that the slide rail assembly is
clamped flat to the brackets. Retighten the fixing bolts finger tight.
NOTE 2. The slide rail mounting brackets (36) can be moved up and down within the slotted
fixing holes, using the height adjuster blocks (52) and 'tilted' forward or backward using the
adjusting bolts in the frames, see fig 89 adjacent to the fixing bolts. REMEMBER to slacken the
fixing bolts (A) off if you are adjusting the height, or carrying out a dramatic alteration, otherwise
you may stress the bracket casting (36); loosen or tighten the adjacent fixing bolt (B) if you are
adjusting the bracket 'tilt'. REMEMBER also that the final 'tighten' of the fixing bolts may alter the
setting slightly. Re-check all settings after the final tightening. (See figs 86-87-88-89)

WORKING LOCATION IN THE WORKSHOP.
necessary. Move the straight edge back to the
original edge and repeat the procedure. When
the table is set tighten the fixing bolts securely.
THEN check the table again. Repeat any part of
the procedure if necessary.
Place the straight edge across the saw table (1)
and the two extension table (26). (There may
be some slight sag at the outer most edge of
the tables due to their weight). If there is any
falling off adjust the table support leg (27) to
correct this. When you are satisfied that the
main table and the side extension tables are in
plane tighten the remaining four bolts that
secure the front and rear rails.
