Machine Fence Alignment; The Depth Stop - Evolution R255 SMS Notice Originale

blade is set exactly perpendicular to the table
when in the upright position and against its stop.
• If the pointer is not in exact alignment
with the 0˚ mark on the protractor scale
adjustment is necessary.
• Loosen the Bevel Pointer screw using a #2
Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. 31)
• Adjust the Bevel Pointer so that it is in
alignment exactly with the 0˚ mark.
• Retighten the screw.
45˚ Bevel Stop Adjustment
• Loosen the bevel lock handle and tilt the
cutting head completely to the left until it
rests against the 45˚ stop.
• Use a set square to see if it at 45 degrees to
the Rotary table (avoid the TCT tips).
• If the saw blade is not in exact alignment
adjustment is necessary.
• Return the cutting head to its
upright position.
• Loosen the locknut on the 45˚ Bevel
adjustment screw.
• Use a Hex Key to adjust the adjustment screw
in or out as required. (Fig. 32)
• Tilt the cutting head to the 45˚ setting and
recheck for alignment with the set square.
• Repeat the above steps until the correct
angular alignment is achieved.
• Tighten the adjustment screw locknut
securely once alignment is achieved.

MACHINE FENCE ALIGNMENT

The Fence must be aligned at 90˚ (square) to
a correctly installed blade. The Rotary table
must be set at '0˚' miter angle.
The Fence is fastened to the table with four (4)
socket head Hex screws (Fig. 33), two (2) to the
left hand side and two (2) to the right hand side.
All four (4) are located through elongated slots
machined into the fence casting.
• Ensure that the cutting head is in the locked
down position with the latching pin fully
engaged.
• Place a set square on the table with one edge
against the Fence and the other edge against

the Blade (avoiding the TCT tips). (Fig. 34)
• If adjustment is necessary, loosen the three
(3) Fence adjustment screws using a Hex Key.
• Re-position the Fence in its elongated slots
until alignment is achieved.
• Securely tighten the socket head Hex screws,
repeat on both sides.
Miter Angle Pointer Adjustment
Note: There are dual miter angle scales cast into
the front of the machines base. A small pointer
attached to the rotary table indicates the angle
selected.
If necessary, the pointer can be repositioned by
loosening its fastening screw using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. Adjust as necessary, and then
securely tighten the fixing screw. (Fig. 35)

THE DEPTH STOP

Use of the depth stop allows the operator to
cut slots in a work-piece.
The downward travel of the cutting head can
be limited so that the saw blade does not
completely cut through the work-piece.
Note: When using the depth stop it is
advisable that the depth of cut is checked
using a scrap piece of timber to ensure that
the slot is cut correctly.
By making a cut in the work-piece, and then
repeating the cut but with the work-piece
slightly repositioned to the left or right, it is
possible to perform trenching cuts.
To use the depth stop:
• Deploy the depth stop 'stop plate'
(Fig. 36a) by rotating it forward from its
storage position alongside the machine
through approximately 150 degrees to its
service position.
• Loosen the knurled locking nut. (Fig. 36b)
• Adjust the thumb - screw (Fig. 36c) to limit
the cutting heads travel to the required depth.
• Once set to the desired depth, tighten the
knurled locking nut (Fig. 36b) against the
retaining bracket to lock the depth stop and
ensure that there is no movement.
• When cutting is complete either re-adjust
the depth stop or return the 'stop plate' to
its storage position.
