7. Remove blade guard, pawl assembly, table
insert and riving knife.
8. Use 3mm hex key to loosen two socket head
button screws (C, Figure 8-8). This will allow
the clamp plate (D) to slide back and forth on
the fixed base.
Slide clamp plate (D) toward or away from saw
blade as required. Attempt to make the gaps
as even as possible.
9. Tighten screws (C).
10. Reinsert riving knife; engage lever (A) and
check that saw blade/knife gap is between
3-8mm (Figure 8-9).

8.8 Table to blade alignment

See Figures 8-10 and 8-11.
The table has been squared to the blade by the
manufacturer and no adjustment should be needed
now. If cuts become inaccurate, check table/blade
squareness and correct if necessary.
1. Disconnect saw from power source.
2. Raise blade to maximum height.
3. Mark one tooth (A, Figure 8-10) with a grease
pencil and position the tooth slightly above top
edge of table at the front.
4. Raise miter gauge slightly out of its slot to
serve as a shoulder. Using a sliding square (B)
against the side of the bar, slide the scale over
until it touches the tip of the blade, and lock
scale in position.
5. Rotate marked tooth (A) so that it is slightly
above table top at the rear, using the square
as before to verify that distance to blade is
identical. See Figure 8-11. If the two distances
are not the same, make a careful note of the
difference.
6. Loosen table screws (item #24, sect. 14.1.1),
and nudge table according to the distance you
noted.
7. Retighten screws firmly.
8. Verify alignment, angle pointer setting, fence
setting, etc. Make any needed adjustments.

8.9 Belt adjustment

8.9.1 Belt tension

See Figure 8-12.
Drive belt tension should be inspected after the first
few days of operation, as a belt may stretch slightly
during initial use; also inspect it periodically
thereafter.
To tighten belt:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Loosen screw (C, Figure 8-12) with 17mm
wrench.
3. Slightly loosen
adjustable) wrench.
