Step 4 Spin the top wheel again, check again. Continue until
the blade tracks in the centre of the tyres with no appreciable
to and fro movement. Push the tracking control lock up to lock
the setting. A sideways push of about 7-8 lbs( 3+kgs) in the
middle of the blade should allow a 1/4" (6.5mm)distension.
Check the tracking again, adjust if necessary. Check the tracking
again, adjust if necessary.
Step 5 Check that the drive belt is tensioned correctly. If the
belt is slack, apply 'take up' pressure to the belt by loosening
the motor locking handle (A) and pressing down the motor
assembly handle (B) until the belt is under tension then
re-tighten the handle to lock the motor in position, see fig
61-62.

CONNECT THE SAW TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY!
Step 6 Clear all the tools away from the machine, close the
upper and lower doors and connect the power supply. Move
the 'Electro-magnetic motor brake selector switch' to the run
position (2), stand clear and press the 'GREEN' button on the
NVR switch to 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.
Step 7 If it doesn't, adjust the tracking until correct.
NOTE: Make very small adjustments and wait for the saw
to react before you adjust again, sometimes the reaction is
not instantaneous.
Step 8 Once you are satisfied that the tracking is correct press
the 'RED' button on the NVR switch to turn the machine off,
allow it to run to a complete stop.
DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE
MAINS SUPPLY!
Setting the Blade Guides (above table)
Step 1. Lower the upper blade guide to approximately 1
1/2"(38mm) above the table. Clamp in place. Loosen the Hex
screw (A), holding the guide assembly in place and adjust the
fore and aft 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, see fig 63.
Step 2 Loosen the Hex screw (B) that clamps the rear thrust
bearing in position and adjust the thrust bearing to approxi-
mately 2mm behind the blade, re-tighten the Hex screw, see fig
64-65
