Setting Up the Saw
2mm behind the blade
Step 3 Loosen the Hex screw (C) holding one of the guide
bearings and move to approximately 0.5mm from each side
of the blade. NOTE: A sheet of A4 photocopy paper is
approximately 0.5mm thick. Adjust the guide bearing by
turning the adjusting knob (D), until the guide bearing is set
to the correct thickness. Re-tighten the Hex screw (C), see fig
66-67.

Thrust bearing
D
2mm behind the gullets
Step 4 Repeat the process for the other guide bearing, see fig
68. Gently push the blade back against the thrust bearing, use a
scrap of wood and check that the side bearings are still behind
the teeth of the blade.
Setting the Blade Guides (below table)
Step 1 Beneath the table loosen the Hex screw (E) 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 (E), see fig 69-70.
NOTE: THE GUIDE BEARING SHOULD ALWAYS
BE SET BEHIND THE TEETH OF THE SAW.
Step 2 Rotate the top wheel by hand, at this point, see fig 71.
NOTE: None of the bearings should come into contact with
the blade-only when in use.
Step 3 Adjust the lower blade guides, and set them similarly
to the upper guides, using a Hex key to release and tighten the
Hex screws. To adjust the lower thrust bearing, loosen the Hex
screw (F), see fig 72, turn the adjusting knob (G) to move the
thrust bearing approximately 2mm behind the blade, see fig
73-74.
