B. Adjusting the Blade Guides
Fig. 7
Set the Moveable Guide Carriers as
close to the work as possible, without
the possibility of them fouling the work
during the cutting process, as the Arm
lowers.
The Guide Carriers are secured by
Knobs ‘B’, Ensure they are tight before
starting the machine.
It follows, that this adjustment is carried
out once the workpiece has been
secured in the vice
The blade guide adjustments are factory
set, and it should not normally be necessary
to readjust unless maintenance, effecting
the guides, has been carried out. See
‘Maintenance’ for details of adjustment.
It is however MOST IMPORTANT that the
Moveable Blade Guide Carriers (A)
are set to ensure that the blade is
supported
as close to the workpiece
as possible,
and also to ensure that
any area of the blade, which is not
used for cutting, is covered.
Figs.7 & 8 show the Moveable Guide
Carriers at their minimum extension.

Slacken the two bolts securing Vise Jaw
‘A’, sufficiently for the jaw to be pivoted
to the desired angle using an angle
gauge where necessary.
NOTE: Use the edge of the bed as a
datum.
Ensure both securing bolts are then fully
tightened.
Similarly, slacken off bolts ‘X’ and ‘Y’ Jaw
‘B’ and screw the jaw up to meet Jaw
‘A’. Ensuring the jaws are both perfectly
parallel, before retightening both
securing bolts ‘X’ and ‘Y’.

C. Securing the Work in the Vice
The vice may be set at an angle, as described below.
Each vise jaw, ‘A’ and ‘B’, is secured with two bolts, one of which acts as a pivot.
Those securing vise jaw ‘B’ are shown at ‘X’ and ‘Y’.
