PRECISION SETTING OF ANGLES
WARNING:
Before making any adjustments, or carrying out
maintenance to the saw, make sure that it is disconnected from
the mains supply.
When all adjustments, settings or maintenance have been
completed, make sure that all keys or wrenches have been
removed, and that all screws, bolts and other fittings are
securely tightened.
While the machine has been factory set, it is advisable that the
0 º setting of the rotary table and the 90 º perpendicular setting
of the tilt head be checked, as these positions may have moved
in transit.
To confirm the 0 º rotary table setting:
•
Set the rotary table at 0 º and tighten the rotary table lock
handle.
•
Use an engineers square (not supplied) to check that the
angle between the machines fence guide and the blade is
90 º . (Fig. 24)
•
If the angle requires adjustment, loosen the four fence
guide clamp screws and align the fence guide against the
engineers square. Retighten the clamp screws.
Similarly check that the angle of the saw blade to the face of the
table is 90 º . (Fig. 25)
To adjust:
•
Loosen the locknut
•
Using a suitable allen key/screwdriver turn the 90 º
adjustment screw clockwise or counter clockwise until
correct alignment has been achieved. (Fig. 26)
•
Retighten the locknut.
The 45 º bevel setting can also be adjusted.
•
Set the cutting head to 45 º and check the angle between
the blade and the machine table with a 45 º set square (not
provided).
•
To adjust, loosen the 45 º adjusting screw locknut and using
a suitable allen key/screwdriver turn the adjusting screw
clockwise or anti- clockwise until the correct alignment is
achieved. (Fig. 27)
•
Retighten the locknut.
