| Checking Blade tracking ||

How the adjustments work, positioning the blade properly on the tyres

* Checking for proper position, the teeth of the blade should be a little in front of the crown of the wheel and the back of the blade well clear of the edge of the tyre

* If it needs adjustment then unlock the adjustment handle and move all bearing guides well away from the blade, results will be poor if the blade is touching anything other than the tyres

* Check and if necessary adjust blade tension

* Start the saw and move the adjuster slowly, noting which way the blade moves

* Get the correct position

* Stop the saw and re-fit all bearing guides

|| Blade will tend to twist if not tracked properly

| Using the tilting table ||

* Location of the locks

* Setting an angle that you want to use, the range is -5 degrees to +45 degrees

* There is a stop at 0 degrees, but check with a square if that's critical to your cut

* You loose a lot of the height of the machine by tilting the table, consider if that will affect your cut

* Material will tend to fall away from the blade, this might mean you need 2 people to handle the cut safely

* Put the table back to flat when you're done
