ALIGNING THE SAW
Have the chassis midway between the end panels and lock the rip
fence close to the blade. Compare the blade angle to the vertical
face of the fence, and if necessary adjust the blade angle (using
the saw's adjuster) until they are parallel vertically.
Hold the clamping knobs to stop them turning and use a
screwdriver to loosen the clamp assemblies - half to one turn only.
Push the saw locators to move the saw.
itself as this may dislodge the clamps.
Lock the fence at "0" front and rear and align the saw so that the blade is just touching the fence.
Spin the blade backwards by hand. The teeth should lightly scrape against the fence.
This is a very important step, it will ensure that your saw cuts are true, and that your fence

scales are accurate, so take your time.
FINAL CLAMPING OF SAW
Check that each saw locator is pressed up against
the baseplate, hold the knobs against turning, and
firmly tighten the four screws.
Remove the fence and turn the saw rightway up.
Undo the clamping knobs a couple of turns and
check that you cannot move the saw sideways at
all between the locators.
Do up the knobs, and this time you can tighten them a little
more firmly, perhaps one turn beyond when they first scrape on
scrape on the base-plate.
If you tighten any one knob too much, and can't loosen it, undo
the other three knobs by half a turn, remove the saw and undo
the knob.
Turn the saw upside down again, re-fit the fence and double
check that the blade is still at "0".
The saw is now set up, and is available at any time for hand-
held use by loosening the knobs half a turn and lifting the saw
straight up. If the locators are correctly fitted, the saw will go
back into exactly the same position each time.
