Mounting and adjusting the rip fence (fig. C1 - C4)
The rip fence consists of a fixed and a sliding fence.
• Loosen the fence support locking knob (34) which holds the clamping
plate in position (fig. C1).
• Slide the fence onto the front of the table using the U-shaped slot as
the guide (fig. C2 & C3).
• Slide the fence towards the blade and tighten the locking knob.
Check that the fence is parallel to the blade. If not, then adjust as
follows (fig. C4).
• Loosen the sliding fence locking knob (35) (fig. C1) and slide the sliding
fence backwards in order to obtain full sight on the two holes (36)
(fig. C4) in the top of the fence.
• Using the small Allen key, loosen the two Allen screws fastening the
fence to the fence support. Access is gained through the two holes in
the top of the fence.
• Adjust the fence so that it is parallel to the blade by checking the
distance between the blade and the fence at the front and rear of the
blade.
• When the adjustment has been carried out, re-tighten the Allen screws
and check again that the fence is parallel to the blade.
Adjusting the saw bench table (fig. A1, D1 - D3)
The table slides up and down manually and is held at the required height
with two locking knobs. The locking knobs are located under the table, the
main at the rear of the motor (37) (fig. D1) and the additional at the front to
the left of the saw blade (3) (fig. A1).
• Loosen the knobs and position the table as required.
• When the unit is being used as a saw bench, the fixed lower guard (18)
should always be used (fig. D3). Remove the M10 hex nut (38) and fit
the guard as shown (fig. D2). Replace the nut and tighten so that the
guard is fixed in position. The machine should always operate in the
bench position with this guard in place.
Mounting the saw blade (fig. E1 - E5)
The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be
dangerous.
• Take the pin spanner (39) and place the two holes on the outside of the
outer arbor collar (40) (fig. E1).
• In the centre is a large Allen screw. Place the short leg of the 6 mm
Allen key (41) through the hole in the metal guard main frame and into
the Allen screw.
• This screw has a left-handed thread, therefore holding the spanner
firmly, turn the Allen key clockwise to loosen.
• Take out the screw and washer. Remove the outer arbor collar.
• The collar (40) has two locking projections (42) that pass through the
blade and into the inner arbor collar and locate one on each side of the
spindle against the flats provided (fig. E2 & E3).
• The blade has a 30 mm bore, and is located on a step flange on the
inner arbor collar.
• The movable blade guard (4) must be retracted. To do so, take out the
Allen screw (43) on the right-hand side of the fixed nose piece and slide
the guard back. Leave retracted (fig. E4).
• Remove the blade (44) (fig. E1).
• To fit a new blade just reverse the process, taking care to ensure that
the blade is seated on the inner flange with the teeth pointing
downwards towards the table.
• Ensure that the two projections on the outer collar are seated properly
through the inner collar and onto the flats on the spindle.
• Also, when replacing the Allen screw through the hole ensure that the
washer is held in position behind the frame (fig. E5).
• Put the washer back on the Allen screw and tighten the screw securely.
• Remove the guard back down and replace the Allen screw (43) (fig. E4).

The maximum diameter blade that can be fitted is 260 mm.
Adjusting the saw blade (fig. E1)
If the saw blade is wobbling during start up and run down, then adjust as
follows.
• Loosen the screw for the arbor collar (40) and rotate the blade (44)
a quarter turn.
• Retighten the screw and check to see if the blade has any wobble.
• Repeat these steps until the blade wobble has been eliminated.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (fig. F1 - F3)
• Ensure that the head is locked in the 0° mitre position.
• Release the bevel clamp handle (12) by pushing it down (fig. F1).
• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten
the bevel clamp handle.
• Place a set square (45) on the table and up against the blade (44)
(fig. F1).
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle.
• Using an Allen key, adjust the screw (46) until the head is at a perfect
90° (fig. F2).
• Check that the bevel indicator (47) indicates 0° on the bevel scale (48)
(fig. F3).
• If not, loosen the two screws (49) move the scale to read 0° and
tighten the two screws.
Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. F3, G1 & G2)
Your saw has a bevel adjustment handle with knurled end (50) that allows
the fixed position to be set at 45° or 48° until the head is at a perfect 90°
(fig. G1).
- Out = 48°
- In = 45°
• Push in the 45°/48° adjustment handle (50) (fig. G1).
• Push the bevel clamp handle (12) down (fig. G1).
• Move the saw head to the left, to its maximum bevel position.
• Check that the angle is exactly 45° using a protractor (fig. G2).
• If adjustment is required, turn the bevel adjustment screw (51) (fig. F3)
until the saw head is exactly 45°. Repeat the same steps to adjust to
48° with the adjustment handle (50) (fig. G1) in the "Out" position.
While performing this adjustment, it is advisable to take the
weight of the saw head by holding it. This will make it easier to
turn the adjustment screw.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the fence (fig. A1, H1 - H4)
• Loosen the mitre clamping knob (8) by turning counterclockwise
(fig. H1)
• Pull down the head and lock it in this position tightening the head lock
down knob (13) (fig. A1).
• Lift the positive stop lever (7) (fig. H1) and swing the head until the stop
locates it at 0° mitre position. Do not tighten the clamping knob (8)
(fig. H1).
• Check that the two 0° markings (52) on the scale (10) are just visible
(fig. H2).
• Place a square (45) against the left side of the fence (11) and blade (44)
(fig. H3).
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
