9.2 ALIGNING THE DISK

The DAKAR PLUS table saw models are tested and seen perfectly in the factory before shipment. If for any
unforeseen the disk is no longer aligned with the guides of the machine, it will produce a default cut. Therefore the
machine will require a new alignment of the disc to the machine guides.
To perform this operation is necessary to provide a steel rod with 4 or 5mm diameter and 350mm long approximately
sharpened at one end in the form of pencil-point (Fig. 8) .Also need a piece of ceramic (tile or sandstone) (Fig.8) and
white chalk. It will proceed as follows:
1 Unplug the machine from electricity and remove the disk safeguard.
2 Loosen the blocking controls (P Fig. 8) from both ends and with the square located on the cutting table and
facing the front side of the disk, you need observe the parallelism of both.
Place the rod between the flanges for fixing the disk and tighten the axle nut, so that the pointed end of the rod
friction with the work piece in the area marked with chalk.
• Move the sliding cart so that the rod makes a straight line on the tile.
Then turn the shaft so that the rod be on the opposite side (Fig. 8) move the tray in reverse way to the one perform
before in order to draw a new line, this must match exactly with the first,
If both lines are mismatched, to loosen the screws on the blade spindle bearings leaving them with a pinch moderate
(T, Fig.8) and adjust the position of this until we get the two on the chalk lines are coincident. Once achieved will turn
to tighten the screws in the bearings.

9.3 ALIGNMENT GUIDES

If you observe that the cut is not squared in reference to the supporting side of the fixed rules of the sliding
cart it is possible that the guides were displaced. To correct the error, you must manipulate the screws that fix the
guides to the plate (T, Fig. 9) and without removing the sliding cart you should be able to move the two guides
together with the sliding cart making short displacements to the left or to the right until achieving a squared cut. Do
not forget to fix the two guides with its screws again.
