Setting Up the Machine...

www.axminster.co.uk

The machine has been fully and accurately set up at the factory. If, however, you are not

happy that the saw is correctly set, or that it has been put out of true by an accident e.g. a

'knock' or a 'drop' etc., there is a very small amount of 'correction' adjustment available.

Carry out the setting up procedures as follows:-

Set the table to zero mitre angle. Clean the table, the back fence and the saw blade,

removing all chips, shavings, dust and resin build up. Ensure the saw blade is not distorted,

and the chassis is sitting on a clean flat surface.

MAKE SURE THE SAW IS DISCONNECTED

FROM THE SUPPLY.

Perpendicular (Square) Adjustment (Pivot Assembly)

Set the saw to zero mitre angle by engaging the 'spring locating' preset with the mitre scale

reading zero. Lightly nip the turn table clamp. Pull the saw over and lock in the 'housed'

position. Place an engineers square (or a known square) against the fence and check that

the blade is perpendicular to the fence, making sure that the square is not in contact with

any of the teeth. (See Fig 5) If adjustment is required proceed as follows:-

VERY CAREFULLY loosen the 3 caphead bolts that secure the tilt and pivot assembly to

the turn table using the Allen key supplied and tap gently to move the blade into line with

the square. Re tighten the bolts, check that the blade is still perpendicular to the fence.
