Setting The Angle Fence To The Saw Blade - Axminster AW10BSB2 User Manual

Setting the Angle Fence to the Saw Blade

Raise the blade to its maximum height, check that is upright to the table. Set the sliding table
fence to zero angle against the preset post. Slacken the two fence mounting bolts (A) and slide
the fence up close to the saw blade. Fasten the two mounting bolts again. (See fig 94-95)
Using a known 90˚ square place it against the fence and the blade (not on the teeth), and check
that the angle is correct, if not, adjust the preset post on the Mitre Angle Rear Quadrant. (See figs
95-96) This preset post is a small eccentric cam mounted on the shaft of a caphead bolt. By
loosening the bolt and turning the head of the post with a spanner, the position of the stop can
be altered. (See fig 96)
Check the angle again, continue to check and adjust until it is correct. Pivot the fence to the
45˚stop. Using a mitre square, check the angle. Repeat the procedure as previously. Reset the saw
to zero angle.

Loosen the fence mounting bolts (A), slide the nose of the fence (the orange tongue) up to the
blade, secure. Check the parallelism of the sliding table movement by sliding the table forward
and checking the tongue/blade are still in contact, or that the movement has not jammed the
tongue against the saw. If there is a slight discrepancy, it may be acceptable to you (a 1mm
difference across the face of the blade, see fig 97 (fully extended) is about one quarter of a degree
and pro rata. If not, or the discrepancy is too large, the slide rail assembly will need to be
re-adjusted, to achieve a parallel motion. Set the distance stop to a predetermined measurement
against the inset scale. Loosen the fence mounting bolts (A) and using a tape or a distance piece
set the fence so that the saw blade to stop is that measurement. Tighten the mounting bolts
securely.
