SETTING UP THE SAW
1. Beneath the table loosen the Hex screw (C) holding the
lower blade guide assembly in place and position so that the
leading edges of the side guide bearings are approximately
2mm behind the gullets of the saw blade. Re-tighten the
Hex screw (C), see fig 36-37.
Fig 36-37
Note: The guide bearing should always be set behind the
teeth of the saw.
2. Rotate the top wheel by hand, at this point. None of the
bearings should come into contact with the blade-only when
in use. Adjust the lower blade guides, and set them similarly to
the upper guides, using a Hex key (A) to release the bearings
and the Phillips screw (B) to adjust, see fig 38.
3. To adjust the lower thrust bearing, loosen the Hex screw (D),
see fig 39, move forward the thrust assembly (E) to move the
bearing approximately 1mm behind the blade, see fig 40.

4. 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. When all adjustments are complete tighten all the Hex
screws and replace the half section of guard, see fig 41.
Re-tension the belt by rotating the motor assembly until
the belt is under tension then re-tighten the lift and shift
handle (A) to lock the motor in position, see fig 11-12.
RECONNECT THE SAW TO THE
MAINS SUPPLY!
5. Re-connect the power, turn the electro-magnetic brake
switch to the 'ON' position and switch the saw on, allow it to
run for several minutes, check that the blade is still tracking
correctly, there is no excessive vibration, etc. Switch off power
and let the saw come to a complete stop. The saw is ready to
be used.
WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS
COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
