Axminster 200387 User Manual page 23

Check the belt tension (see fig 24) the belt should be tight, but not unduly so.
Remove all tools and stow away. Check that the machine tables are clear. Lower the saw to
leave about 25mm protruding, set the saw upright.
Check that everything that should be tight, is tight; saw blade guard, rise and fall lock
mechanism, fence clamps etc.
Connect the machine to the mains supply, lift the switch shroud and give the machine a
quick burst. i.e. On/Off. Check that everything is sound and feels O.K. (No knocking,
scraping, belt squeal, rubbing etc.,)
Give the machine a longer run, and 'slap' the switch shroud down. Check that this gives a
fast and easy method of switching the machine off, without searching for the stop switch
button.
When you are happy that everything seems O.K. switch the machine off, disconnect from
the Mains Supply. Locate the two upper side panels and their fixing bolts and secure them
in place.
Congratulations; one 10" bench saw; assembled and ready to work.
