WHAT YOU NEED 

Tools:Combination Spanner Set

Safety Equipment:Standard Personal Protective Equipment

  1. Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.
  2. Inspect the follower homing sensor for security and signs of damage, and clean any build-up of dust.
  3. Manually push the follower all the way to the end stop closest to the saw, such that the carriage contact plate is over the top of the follower homing sensor.
  4. Perform the following checks:

    • Visually make sure the follower homing sensor is roughly centred below the contact plate. Adjust the homing sensor bracket if required.
    • Visually make sure the gap between the carriage contact plate and the homing sensor is about 1 mm.
    • Make sure the orange sensing LED on the side of the sensor is turned on.
    • Make sure that the locknut on the homing sensor is secure. Tighten if required.

      CAUTIONTake care not to overtighten the locknut as this will damage the sensor.

  5. Release the E‑stop button on the operator console.
  6. Rehome the saw.
