MAINS SUPPLY!
5) Stand clear and start the saw. Check that the saw is running
smoothly, (no thumps, bumps, knocking or excessive vibration)
and the blade appears to be tracking correctly (in one place).
You can check this by holding a marker, e.g. a pencil, close to
the back of the blade (approach from the back of the blade
only) and check that the gap remains constant.
If it doesn't, adjust the tracking until it does, see fig 04.
Make very small adjustments and wait for the saw to react
before you adjust again, sometimes the reaction is not
instantaneous. Once you are satisfied that the tracking is
correct, switch the machine off and allow it to run to a stop.
