OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. When you have fitted the saw stabilising bracket, set
the saw up in the table saw mode. Slacken off the
T-Knob, and use the saw's own adjuster/s to set the
saw blade exactly square to the table.
2. Firmly tighten the T-Knob and make a couple of test
cuts to ensure the cut is at exactly 90°.
3. Convert to the crosscut mode and remove any
compensating slope you may have previously set in
your worktable to eliminate any saw-slump problem (as
described in your Workcentre Operating Manual).
4. Make further test cuts. If necessary, re-introduce a
slight compensating slope into the worktable.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: The saw does not raise or lower smoothly.
SOLUTION: Check that the pivot points of the saw and
the stabilising bracket are exactly in line. Lubricate the
saw's adjustment mechanism.
PROBLEM: The T-Knob fouls the saw's motor body or
the front handle of the saw.
SOLUTION: Use the ¼" wing nut supplied rather than the
T-Knob. (Do not remove the front handle of the saw).
PROBLEM: On some smaller saws the extended arm of
the Saw Motor Bracket (E) may hit the front of the slide
chassis when the saw blade is fully raised.
SOLUTION: Reverse the bracket so that the arm with the
long slot is now against the saw's motor casing. You
can now shorten the arm with the short slot by hack-
sawing off the required amount, without weakening the
arm. The arm against the motor can also be shortened
if necessary, even if it means cutting through the long
slot.
5. With front pivot saws there is no need to adjust the
T-Knob when raising or lowering the saw blade. With
vertical lift saws, the setting needs to be changed with
every blade height adjustment and a test cut made.
6. Front pivot saws should only need resetting when bevel
cutting. We suggest you scribe reference lines for quick
re-setting along the face of the Slotted Strap (C), level
with the top edge of the Saw Motor Bracket (E). This
can be done at 0°, 45° or any other commonly used
angles.
PROBLEM: On some large saws and some vertical lift
saws you may have insufficient slot length on the
Slotted Strap (C) to reach 45°.
SOLUTION: Move the Base Bracket (A) and the Saw
Motor Bracket (E) closer to the saw blade until you can
angle a full 45°.
PROBLEM: The saw's motor casing has an unusual
shape or taper, and the Band Clamps (D) slip when
tightened.
SOLUTION: Double-sided tape, or fine sandpaper, placed
between the clamp/s and casing should solve this
problem.
NOTE: Under no circumstances drill or screw into the
motor casing in an attempt to secure the clamps.
