of the blade. Beneath the table, remove the safety

guard and place aside; loosen the nut holding the

lower blade guide assembly in place and position

behind the teeth of the saw.

Fig 41

Rotate the top wheel by hand, at this point. None

of the bearings should come into contact with the

blade-only when in use. Re-tighten the nut. Adjust

the lower blade guides, and set them similarly to the

upper guides, (D ) using an Hex key to release and

tighten the clamping bolts. Adjust the lower thrust

bearing similarly to the upper thrust bearing. When

all adjustments have been made, recheck that when

the blade is pressed back against the thrust bearing,

both the upper and lower side guides are still behind

the teeth of the saw. Replace the safety cover. When

all adjustments are complete re-connect the power,

switch the saw on, allow to run for several minutes,

check that the blade is still tracking correctly, there

is no excessive vibration, etc. Switch off. The saw is

ready to be used.

Operating Instructions

1. Make sure you have read and fully understood

the general instructions and safety precautions

that are printed in the preceding pages of this

manual.

2. Before connecting the machine to the supply;

check the tool for obvious signs of damage, paying

particular attention to the plug and the power cable.

Rectify or have rectiﬁed any damage you discover.

Check that the blade you are using is the correct one

for the job in hand. Change the blade if necessary.

Check the blade is not damaged; is clean, sharp,

tracks properly and is correctly tensioned.

3. Set the upper blade guide to approximately 12mm

(1/2”) above the height of the work piece.

4. Check especially on site, that there are no foreign

objects e.g. old nails, screws, small stones etc

embedded in the material you are about to cut.

5. Check that all accessories, tools etc., that have been

used to set the machine up, are removed and set

carefully aside or stowed away correctly.

6. Ensure the machine is switched off. Plug the power

cable into a correctly rated switched socket outlet.

If extension leads are being used, check these for

damage, do not use if damaged; if you are working

outside, check that any extension cables in use are

rated for outside work. Switch on. Allow the saw to

run up to speed.

7. Make sure that the material you are about to cut

is within the machine is capacity, and the cut you are

about to make is within the blades’ capabilities, e.g.
