DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY
Lower the upper blade guide to approximately 1 1/2"(38mm) above the table. Clamp in
place. NOTE: The table has been removed for clarity.
Loosen the bolt holding the guide assembly in place (A) and adjust the back to front
position so that the leading edges of the side guide bearings are approximately 1.5 mm
behind the gullets of the saw blade. Re-tighten the bolt. Loosen the cap head bolt that
clamps the rear thrust bearing in position (B) and adjust the thrust bearing to approximately
1mm behind the blade, re-tighten the bolt. Loosen the two cap head bolts holding the guide
bearings (C) and move to approximately 0.5 mm from each side of the blade. Re-tighten the
bolts. Gently push the blade back against the thrust bearing (use a scrap of wood,) and
check that the side bearings are still behind the teeth of the blade.
Beneath the table, loosen the the two cap head bolts holding the lower blade guide
assembly in place and position similarly to the upper guide assembly. Re-tighten the bolts.
Adjust the lower blade guides, and set them similarly to the upper guides, (D ) using an
allen key to release and tighten the clamping bolts. When all adjustments have been made,
recheck that when the blade is pressed back against the thrust bearing, both the upper and
lower side guides are still behind the teeth of the saw replace the safety cover. When all
adjustments are complete re-connect the power, switch the saw on, allow to run for several
minutes, check that the blade is still tracking correctly, there is no excessive vibration, etc.
Switch off. The saw is ready to be used.
