top and firmly press together (fig. 8).
8. Repeat with the right fence.
9. Align the back, left table strip (s1) with the left fence dowels and
firmly press together (fig. 9). Tighten the table clamp (ee) with
socket wrench (fig. 10).
10. Insert a M8 x 25 screw and D8 washer into the back, left table strip
and securely tighten (fig. 11, 12).
11. Repeat for back right table strip.
MOUNTING DUST SHROUD (FIG. 13, 14)
1. Fit the dust port in position back to the column base.

2. Tilt motor as follows:
a. Unlock the lever (cc, fig. 18)
b. Pull out the bevel latch (a4, fig. 19) , tilt the motor head (dd) as
shown for optimum access (fig. 20) and lock with the lever (cc,
fig. 21).
3. Loosen the guard screw (kk, fig. 22) and lift the guard (d) out of the
way (fig. 23).
4. Hold the flange (mm) in place with the pin wrench (hh) and turn the

against the outer flange.
CHECKING THAT THE ARM IS PARALLEL TO THE TABLE TOP (FIG. 1, 26)
1. Lower the blade (oo) until it only just touches the fixed table top (e).
2. Release the mitre latch lever (j) and the mitre clamp lever (k).
3. Extend the blade forward past the fence then swing arm so that
the blade skims the table top across its width.
4. Repeat this procedure with the blade in rear position and adjust the
rear bolt if required.
CHECKING THAT THE BLADE IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE TABLE TOP
(FIG. 27–28)
1. Bring the arm back to central position.
2. Place a steel square (rr) against the blade body (fig. 27).

d. Using a hex wrench adjust the unlocked screws (pp) until the
blade is flat against the square.
4. Firmly tighten all fasteners.
WARNING: It is particularly important to tighten the central
hex screw.
5 Replace the bevel pointer disk (tt) (fig. 27).
CHECKING THAT THE CROSSCUT TRAVEL IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE FENCE
(FIG. 29, 30)

4. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the mitre latch lever (j) and release the mitre clamp lever
(k) (fig. 30).
b. Loosen the two adjustment screws (qq).
5. To adjust the arm to the left, loosen the stud on the right-hand side
of the mitre latch lever (j) and tighten the opposite stud.
6. To adjust the arm to the right, loosen the stud on the left-hand side
of the mitre latch lever (j) and tighten the opposite stud.
7. Proceed in small steps and check the adjustment after each step
with the levers (j) and (k) engaged.
