5. FITTING / CHANGING THE BLADE
4.15 Attach the extraction hose to the dust extraction port (part no.15). to facilitate the fitting of the hose it is recommended that the end of
the hose is placed in hot water for 5 minutes to soften it temporarily. Attach the dust extraction port to the lower face of the blue box
enclosing the blade using 4 bolts M4 x 12mm. see fig.2.
4.16 Attach the wheel brackets to legs 5 & 6 respectively using two sets of fixings for each bracket as shown in fig.7. Leave the fixings
loose at this stage.
4.17 Final tightening of bolts. Prior to turning the machine upright, finally tighten all bolts except those holding the wheel brackets.
4.18 turn the saw over to stand upright. Do not do this on your own but get someone to help you as the machine is too heavy and large for
one person to lift and manoeuvre.
4.19 Loosen the wheel brackets slightly and position the wheels so that they are just touching the ground. re-tighten the wheel brackets.
4.20 Attach the folding transit transit handles to the legs 3 & 4 using two sets of fixings each.
4.21 Assembling the angle ruler. slide the angle ruler assembly onto the sliding guide at the side of the table. Pass two M6 x 16mm bolts
through the angle ruler plate and retain them loosely with the two butterfly nuts as shown in fig.X . the fence is usually vertically
orientated as indicated in fig.Y. When cutting thin and narrow workpieces the fence can be assembled flat onto the table as shown in
fig.Z. fit the fence to the angle plate by sliding one of the grooves in the bar over the head of each M6 bolt. the fence bar is free to
slide backwards and forwards against the angle plate and can be locked in any position by tightening the butterfly nuts.
4.22 for cross cutting, the fence assembly will be a sliding fit in the fence guide on the side of the table. the angle of the fence can be
altered for cross cutting by loosening the large black knob. the required angle can be set using the scale before re-tightening the
knob.

ADjuSTMENTS.
5.1. Removal of an existing blade.
5.1.1 remove the blade guard assembly by undoing the single bolt which passes through the riving knife and lift the assembly off.
5.1.2. remove the six screws holding the table insert and lift it out.
5.1.3. the blade height adjustment handle is mounted at one end of the motor/blade box. Wind this handle clockwise to raise the inner blade
mounting flange up to its highest point to make it more accessible. (see fig.8)
5.1.4 When fitting/changing the blade the riving knife should be removed. Loosen the riving knife nut as shown in fig.8 and slide the riving
knife upwards and out of the clamp.
5.1.5. Wear gloves when handling the blade. to remove an existing blade stop the blade from turning by placing the lock pin provided in the
blade lock hole as shown in fig.8A. rptate the blade slowly by hand until you feel the pin locate in the location in the drive flange. the
blade retaining bolt has a reverse thread. Loosen it by turning it clockwise and remove the bolt and outer blade mounting flange whilst
continuing to hold the blade. Lift the blade off the inner flange and out of the recess.
5.2. Fitting a new blade.
5.2.1. the blade is held between the inner and outer mounting flanges. the outer blade mounting flange has two small recesses on its inner
face which must align with two pins protruding from inner blade mounting flange. (see reference arrows in fig.8)
5.2.2 Lower the blade into the recess and place it onto the inner blade mounting flange.
5.2.3 Place the outer blade mounting flange over the blade and rotate until it aligns with the inner flange.
5.2.4 Insert the blade retaining bolt and tighten it by hand.
5.2.5 Hold the blade firmly and tighten the nut in an anticlockwise direction as (see fig.9).
