  • Page 6 Check the blade is centred in the table insert slot without interference. If the blade is offset to one side or the other, it can now be adjusted. The lower trunnion is attached to the body of the saw by four hex headed bolts.
  • Page 7 Having set the table so that the blade is centred, apply a little tension to the blade and use a set square to position the table at right angles to it. Lock it in position and if necessary, set the adjustable pointer so it aligns with zero.
