t

   Insert the machine 

 screw through the end of the support strut 

(Fig. 9)

Use a straight edge or similar placed across the table and 

the extension panel to check the alignment. The extension 

panels should be exactly level with and 

 to the main 

table of the machine. 

Note: 

The support struts and the extension panels are 

provided with elongated slotted holes. These facilitate slight 

adjustment and realignment of components as necessary.

t

     Final micro adjustmnet  

 and alignment of the table extensions 

is possible by repositioning the relevant components using 

the

 of all of the components is achieved 

THE FENCE RAIL

Note: 

The fence rail is supplied in two pieces 

(L)

 which slot 

together. The plastic connecting tongue 

(M)

 should be 

inserted into the rectangular voids in the two extrusions  

to bridge both parts of the Fence Rail. 

(Fig. 10) 

t

  Attach the seven

 coach bolts 

(R)

 within the seven holes of 

the machine (two in each extension and three in the main 

aluminium table) using washers 

(O)

 and ø6mm nuts 

(S)

. 

Hand tighten only. 

(Fig. 11)

t

  Slide the fence  rail over the seven protruding bolt heads 

(Fig. 12) 

until the fence rail is central across the front of  

the machine and fully tighten the bolts.

ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: 

The machine must not be connected to the mains 

supply when carrying out the following procedure(s). 

Note: 

The fence rail needs to be positioned correctly for the 

scale to read accurately. Even when correctly adjusted the scale 

should always be regarded as a useful cutting guide. The scale 

does not supplant the need for accurate marking out.

Note: 

The rip fence simply slots into the fence rail, and can be 

locked into position anywhere along the rails length, and at either 

side of the machine by pressing the locking lever downwards.

CHECKING/ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE

When the fence rail and rip fence have been attached to the 

machine, the rip fence should be checked to ensure that it lies 

parallel to the blade.

SLIDING MITRE GAUGE

Note: 

The sliding mitre gauge 

(K)

‘T’ slots in the machine table.

The adjustable faceplate is held in the protractor base 

of the mitre gauge by two machine screws and thumb nuts.

It must loosen the two screws when needs to adjust the face 
plate position 

(Fig. 16)

 ,after adjustment then tighten the 

screws. 

 It allows the mitre gauge angle to be adjusted. Use  the 
protractor scale and pointer and set the gauge to the desired
angle. Tighten the vertical handle when the required angle
has been selected.
