- Do not extent the arbor nut wrench.
- Do not tighten arbor nut by tapping on the wrench.
- After tightening the arbor nut do not forget remove
the saw spindle lock bar!
- Fixing of saw blade to spindle.
- When the spindle diameter is less than the saw
blade bore diameter, flanged bushed provided by
the machine manufacturer should be used to make
up the difference. The use of loose rings or bushes
is not permitted.
11. Loosen screw (a) of the riving knife bracket.
12. Adjust the distance between the saw blade’s outer
edge and the riving knife (b). it must be 3-8mm.

Slot for the saw blade in the table.
The total width of the slot for the saw blade is 12mm,
the tilting direction is opposite to the ordinary item,
so the distance between the fixed saw flange and
the edge of the table slot is 8mm.
Selection of saw blade and riving knife.
The range of saw blade diameters and thickness is
below:
Saw blade diameter: 254mm
Saw blade thickness: 3mm
The operator should only select saw blade of a
diameter and thickness suitable for the machine, as
specified in the instruction handbook.
Selection of the riving knife is dependent on the saw
blade thickness and saw blade diameter. The
operator should ensure that the riving knife selected
is suitable for the saw blade being used.
The riving knife-guiding slot should be no more than
0.5mm wider than the riving knife guiding elements.
