MACHINE FENCE ALIGNMENT

The Fence must be aligned at 90˚ (square) to
a correctly installed blade. The Rotary table
must be set at '0˚' mitre angle.
The Fence is fastened to the table with four (4)
socket head Hex screws (Fig. 31), two (2) to the
left hand side and two (2) to the right hand side.
All four (4) are located through elongated slots
machined into the fence casting.
• Ensure that the cutting head is in the
locked down position with the latching pin
fully engaged.
• Place a set square on the table with one edge
against the Fence and the other edge against
the Blade (avoiding the TCT tips). (Fig. 32)
• If adjustment is necessary, loosen the three
(3) Fence adjustment screws using a Hex Key.
• Re-position the Fence in its elongated slots
until alignment is achieved.
• Securely tighten the socket head Hex screws,
repeat on both sides.

Mitre Angle Pointer Adjustment

Note: There are dual mitre angle scales cast into
the front of the machines base. A small pointer
attached to the rotary table indicates the
angle selected.
If necessary, the pointer can be repositioned by
loosening its fastening screw using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. Adjust as necessary, and then
securely tighten the fixing screw. (Fig. 33)
THE DEPTH STOP (Fig. 28)
Use of the depth stop allows the operator to
cut slots in a work-piece.
The downward travel of the cutting head can
be limited so that the saw blade does not
completely cut through the work-piece.
Note: When using the depth stop it is
advisable that the depth of cut is checked
using a scrap piece of timber to ensure that
the slot is cut correctly.
By making a cut in the work-piece, and then
repeating the cut but with the work-piece
slightly repositioned to the left or right, it is
possible to perform trenching cuts.

To use the depth stop:
• Deploy the depth stop 'stop plate'
(Fig. 28a) by rotating it forward from its
storage position alongside the machine
through approximately 150 degrees to its
service position.
• Loosen the knurled locking nut. (Fig. 28b)
• Adjust the thumb - screw (Fig. 28c)
to limit the cutting heads travel to the
required depth.
• Once set to the desired depth, tighten the
knurled locking nut (Fig.28b) against the
retaining bracket to lock the depth stop and
ensure that there is no movement.
• When cutting is complete either re-adjust
the depth stop or return the 'stop plate' to
its storage position.
• Check that the Cutting can be locked in the
down position by the head latching pin.

THE SLIDING UPPER FENCE SECTION

(Fig. 29)
The Left Hand side of the machines Fence
has an adjustable Upper section. This
section can slide to the left by a maximum of
approximately 100mm.
Note: To prevent the Sliding Upper section
from being removed completely (and thus
possibly being lost) the Sliding Upper section
is 'captive' on the Lower Fence.
Adjustment may be necessary when certain
acute bevel or compound angles are selected
to provide clearance for the moving cutting
head and blade as a cut is made.
To adjust the sliding fence:
• Loosen the thumbscrew. (Fig. 30)
• Slide the upper section of the Fence
leftwards to the required position and
tighten the thumbscrew.
• Conduct a 'dry run' with the power off
to confirm that there is no interference
between moving parts as the cutting head
and blade are lowered to make a sliding cut.
