Attaching the wheels. The wheels, axle and wheel brackets should be assembled as shown in fig.2. The wheel brackets are 'handed'
and should be orientated as shown in fig.7. Take the wheel axle and attach two circlips to the two grooves nearest to the centre of the
axle. Slide a wheel over each end of the axle followed by the correct bracket. Retain the wheels and brackets by attaching another
circlip to each end of the axle.
4.16
Attach the wheel brackets to legs 5 & 6 respectively using two sets of fixings for each bracket as shown in fig.7. Leave the fixings
loose at this stage.
4.17
Final tightening of bolts. Prior to turning the machine upright, finally tighten all bolts except those holding the wheel brackets.
4.18
Turn the saw over to stand upright. Do not do this on your own but get someone to help you as the machine is too heavy and large for
one person to lift and manoeuvre.
4.19
Loosen the wheel brackets slightly and position the wheels so that they are just touching the ground. Re-tighten the wheel brackets.
4.20
Attaching the transit handles. The transit handles need to be assembled to legs 3 and 4 as shown in fig.3. Take the two brackets
(part no.125) and bolt one to each leg using two sets of fixings for each one. Slide each handle (part no.122) into the bracket and
retain it with an M8 x 50mm pivot bolt (part no.124) and locknut.
4.21
Bolt the push stick hook to leg 4 in the position shown in fig.4.
4.22
Assembling the angle ruler. Slide the angle ruler assembly onto the sliding guide at the side of the table. Pass two M6 x 16mm bolts
through the angle ruler plate and retain them loosely with the two butterfly nuts as shown in fig.X . The fence is usually vertically
orientated as indicated in fig.Y. When cutting thin and narrow workpieces the fence can be assembled flat onto the table as shown in
fig.Z. Fit the fence to the angle plate by sliding one of the grooves in the bar over the head of each M6 bolt. The fence bar is free to
slide backwards and forwards against the angle plate and can be locked in any position by tightening the butterfly nuts.
4.23
For cross cutting, the fence assembly will be a sliding fit in the fence guide on the side of the table. The angle of the fence can be
altered for cross cutting by loosening the large black knob. The required angle can be set using the scale before re-tightening the knob.
NOTE: When rip cutting set the angle to zero so that the fence is always parallel to the blade. Check this alignment on a
regular basis when rip cutting.

WARNING! ENSURE THAT THE SAW IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAINS POWER BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
!
5.1.
Removal of an existing blade.
5.1.1
Remove the blade guard assembly by undoing the single bolt which passes through the riving knife and lift off the assembly.
5.1.2. Remove the six screws holding the table insert and lift it out.
5.1.3. The blade height adjustment handle is mounted at one end of the motor/blade box. Wind this handle clockwise to raise the inner blade
mounting flange up to its highest point to make it more accessible. (See fig.8)
5.1.4
When fitting/changing the blade the riving knife should be removed. Loosen the riving knife nut as shown in fig.8 and slide the riving
knife upwards and out of the clamp.
5.1.5. Wear gloves when handling the blade. To remove an existing blade stop the blade from turning by placing the rod provided in front of
one of the teeth as shown in fig.9. The blade retaining bolt has a reverse thread. Loosen it by turning it clockwise and remove the bolt
and outer blade mounting flange whilst continuing to hold the blade. Lift the blade off the inner flange and out of the recess.
5.2.
Fitting a new blade.
5.2.1. The blade is held between the inner and outer mounting flanges. The outer blade mounting flange has two small recesses on its inner
face which must align with two pins protruding from inner blade mounting flange. (See reference arrows in fig.8)
5.2.2
Lower the blade into the recess and place it onto the inner blade mounting flange.
5.2.3
Place the outer blade mounting flange over the blade and rotate until it aligns with the inner flange.
5.2.4
Insert the blade retaining bolt and tighten it by hand.
5.2.5
Hold the blade firmly and tighten the nut in an anticlockwise direction as (See fig.9).
