CHECKING AND SETTING OF BEVEL ANGLES
WARNING: Before making any adjustments ensure that the
machine is disconnected from the power supply.
Note: While all angular settings have been factory set, checking
and adjustment may be required as a consequence of normal
operational wear and tear.
Note: To check and adjust the Bevel Angles the machine must be
in Mitre Saw configuration.
0˚ BEVEL ANGLE
At 0˚ Bevel Angle the blade should be perpendicular and at
exactly 90˚ to the Rotary Table. An accurate engineers square
(not supplied) is needed to check the 0˚ Bevel Angle.
To check:
• Ensure that the Cutting Head is in the vertical position, against its
stop with the Bevel Pointer indicating 0˚ Bevel Angle.
• Tighten the Bevel Lock Handle.
• Lower the Cutting Head to its lowest position. The Retractable
Lower Blade Guard will rotate up into the machine.
• The engineers square can now be used to check the angle
between the blade and the Rotary Table.
If adjustment is required:
Note: The Cutting Head will need to be tilted to gain access to
the 0˚ Bevel Stop Adjustment Screw.
• Loosen slightly the 0˚ Bevel Stop Adjustment Screw locknut.
(Fig. 31)
• Use an Allen Key to turn the Bevel Stop Screw clockwise or
counterclockwise as required.
• When exact alignment between the
blade and Rotary Table is achieved, tighten the locknut.
45˚ BEVEL ANGLE
The 45˚ Bevel Angle can be checked in a similar manner to the
0˚ Bevel Angle. An accurate 45˚ Engineers Set Square
(not supplied) will be required.
