Ease the blade over the wheels and locate the blade in the
blade guides. Check that the blade is sitting approximately in
the middle of the wheels and re-tension the blade by pushing
the quick release lever forward.
Turn the top wheel by hand to ensure the blade will not skip
off the wheels and the blade is travelling in the blade guides.
When you are sure that the blade is "ON" and stable, re-fit the
table stabilising bolt and re-fit the table insert. Loosen the
upper blade guide clamp and set the upper blade guide
assembly so that the top of the blade guide is level with the
centre of the top drive wheel, see fig 91. Re-tighten the clamp.
Now carry out the procedures as detailed in Setting up the Saw.
Daily
• Keep the machine clean.
• Check the saw blade for missing teeth and cracks, see fig 93.
• Spray oil the bare metal surfaces.
Weekly
• Open the top and bottom wheel covers and clean out all
saw dust.
Monthly
• Open the lower and upper door and check the condition of
the tyres and the drive belt, see figs 92-93-94.
• Clean impacted 'crud' from the tyres, apply a little oil to the
screw threads of the blade and drive belt tensioners. DO NOT
USE OIL near the belt.
• The pivots and the slides of the top wheel mounting assembly
and the captive stub axle of the belt tensioner in its slot could
likewise be lightly oiled.
• Using an air line (wearing goggles) blow out the motor
casing.
• Check the condition of the tyres (A)
• Check for missing teeth (B)
• Check the condition of the drive belt (C)
