Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When shipping the tool from the factory, the
table inserts are so fi xed that the saw blade does not contact them. The burr of the bottom
surface of the workpiece is remarkably reduced, if the table insert is fi xed so that the gap
between the side surface of the table insert and the saw blade will be minimum. Before
using the tool, eliminate this gap in accordance with the following procedure.
(1) Right angle cutting
Loosen the three 5 mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and
temporarily tighten the 5 mm machine screws of both ends. Then fi x a workpiece
(about 7-7/8" (200 mm) wide) with the vise assembly and cut it off . After aligning the
cutting surface with the edge of the table insert, securely tighten the 5 mm machine
screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 5 mm center
machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way.
(2) Left and right bevel angle cutting
Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 10-b and Fig. 10-c following the
same procedure for right angle cutting.
