Depth Adjustment
It is possible to carry out a small adjustment to the depth of cut. ( i.e. the amount that the
saw enters the table) It is done by adjusting the preset stop (See Fig 9) Ideally the
geometry of the 'pull over' puts the centre line of the bore just slightly below the centreline
of the pivot shaft. If you have cause to adjust the depth setting, remember to leave sufficient
clearance to relieve the pressure on the lock down pin.

Counterbalance Adjustment
It is possible to carry out a small adjustment to the 'weight' of the counter balance (i.e. the
amount of effort required to 'pull' the saw over, and the amount of control you need to exert
when returning the saw to the up position. The spring can be tightened or loosened using
the adjusting bolt (See Fig 10) Remember the saw should be balanced so that, at a
minimum, it will return fully to the 'up' position.
