4. When the pivot bolt has been located correctly, firmly
tighten the nut, and also the nut fastening the Pivot
Mounting Bracket (B) to the Base Bracket (A).
NOTE: If you have a vertical lift saw, this lining up
procedure is unnecessary. Simply locate the pivot bolt
low in its slot so that it will not foul the T-Knob (G) to be
fitted later.
5. Fit the Slotted Strap (C) onto the pivot bolt, using the
¼" Nyloc Nut (L), as shown in Fig 2. Tighten the nut so
that the strap is firmly attached but still free to pivot.
6. Position the strap so that it is approximately vertical.
Fitting the Saw Motor Bracket
1. Slip the Band Clamps (D) over the saw motor casing
with the wormdrive fasteners on top of the motor, and
the screwdriver slots of the wormdrives facing the rear.
Do not fully tighten the clamps yet.
2. The Saw Motor Bracket (E) has two arms, one with a
long slot and one with a short slot. For most saws, fit
the bracket with the short slotted arm against the front
of the motor casing.
3. Position the Rubber Cushion Strip (F) between the
motor casing and the bracket arm. Fit the arm in
position under the band clamps, and against the rubber
strip.
4. Position the long slotted arm of the bracket so that it is
touching the inside face of the Slotted Strap (C).
5. Find the best positions on the motor casing for the band
clamps. Have the clamps as far apart as you can, but
avoid clamping too close to the outside edge of the
casing, especially if it is tapered. Partially tighten the
two band clamps.
6. Before fully tightening the clamps, fit the remaining
¼" x ¾" coach bolt through the Slotted Strap (C) and
the slot in the Saw Motor Bracket (E), fit the ¾" x ¼"
flat washer, and fasten with the T-Knob (T-Knob to the
inside).
7. Check that the lower edge of the Saw Motor Bracket
(E) does not hit the Nyloc Nut (L) of the pivot bolt
assembly. You may need to move the Saw Motor
Bracket (E) slightly up the motor casing. This bracket
does not need to be horizontal and may be angled
slightly upwards to provide increased clearance away
from the pivot bolt.

8. Before fully tightening all the fastenings, check that
the saw can be adjusted through its full range in both
depth of cut and angle of cut. Note that the Slotted
Strap (C) is designed to flex in a curve when the saw is
angled for bevel cutting, see Fig 4.
9. If the saw can be adjusted smoothly through its full
range, loosen the T-Knob and fully tighten the Band
Clamps (D). Do not overtighten the band clamps as you
could damage the motor casing.
10. Also, ensure that the arm of the Saw Motor Bracket
(E) which extends forward is parallel to the edge of the
saw's base plate, see Fig 5. If it is not parallel, either
remove the bracket and slightly bend the bracket in
a vice, or use shim packing on one side between the
rubber cushion strip and the bracket.
11. Re-tighten the T-Knob (G), ensuring that the Slotted
Strap (C) remains in the vertical position, and that the
extended arm of the Saw Motor Bracket (E) does not
flex or distort as you tighten the knob.
12. Finally, tighten the nuts fastening the Base Bracket (A)
to the slide chassis.
