in place and fit the washer (Pic.8) (8.6) and the two locking
knobs (Pic.8) (8.7) onto the threads. Tightening both knobs with
equal pressure will secure the combined rip fence & mitre guide
bracket into the guide channel (Pic.10)
FITTING THE RIP FENCE (PIC.11)
Locate the two bolts, washers and wing nuts. Slide the two
bolts into the «T» slot (Pic.11) (11.1) in the rip fence. Align the
two bolts with the two holes in the mitre guide bracket (Pic.11)
(11.2). Insert the bolts through the holes and secure with two
wing nuts (Pic.11) (11.3).
Warning!
Before carrying out any maintenance or adjustments the
machine must be disconnected from the mains power
supply.
FITTING THE RIVING KNIFE (PIC.12&13)
Caution! Do not run this machine without the riving knife. The
purpose of the riving knife is to allow smooth exit of sawn work
pieces. As the wood is cut the riving knife stops the two pieces
of the cut material from closing together. This would cause
the blade to jam causing damage to the machine or injury
to the operator. Remove the table insert by removing the six
countersunk cross headed screws (Pic.12) (12.1), lift out the
rear of the table insert first using the finger hole. (Pic.12) (12.2).
Locate the riving knife clamping assembly (Pic.13). This consists
of a bolt (Pic.13) (13.1), front clamping plate (Pic.13) (13.2) and
rear clamping plate (Pic.13) (13.3) and a nylock nut (Pic.13)
(13.4). If necessary slacken the nylock nut until the riving knife
can be inserted between the front and rear clamping plates.
Ensuring that the two pins on the rear clamping plate locate in
the adjustment slot (Pic.13) (13.5). and that the pin on the rear
clamping plate locates in the slot in the riving knife. Adjust the
position of the riving knife in relationship to the blade, ensuring
that there is a gap of 3 to 8mm between the saw blade and
the riving knife. Tighten the securing nut, check the adjustment
before refitting the table insert.
Note: Check the position of the riving knife and the tightness of
the securing nut, periodically during use.
FITTING THE BLADE GUARD (PIC.14 & 15)
The blade guard is complete with a dust extraction outlet
and must be fitted to the machine at all times. Align the hole
at the rear of the guard with the hole at the top of the riving
knife (Pic.14) (14.1). Secure the blade guard using the bolt
supplied (Pic.14) (14.2). With the blade guard secured in place
the extraction hose can be fitted to the dust extraction outlet
(Pic.15) (15.1). Check the operation of the blade guard ensuring
that it operates freely.
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSION (PIC.16 TO 19)
This machine comes with a table extension that can be fitted
to either side or to the rear of the table. An assistant will be
required to hold the extension table to the rear of the saw bench
( Pic.16) (16.1) . Align the holes and secure with bolts and nuts
(Pic.17) (17.1). Select the long pair of extension brackets, and
locate one end onto the lower support strut and secure with
nuts and bolts (Pic.18) (18.1). Secure the other end to the table
(Pic.19) (19.1), ensure that all nuts are tight. To fit the table
extension to either the left or the right of the table, follow the
above procedure but use the short pair of extension brackets.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
REMOVING THE BLADE (PIC.20)
Caution! All saw blades are extremely sharp and care should be
taken when handling them.
Where possible wear suitable gloves
Raise the blade to its highest point (see the section on raising
and lowering the blade (Pic.24). Remove the table insert by
removing the six countersunk cross headed screws (Pic.20)
(20.1), lift out the rear of the table insert first using the finger
hole (Pic.20) (20.2). With the table insert removed locate the
spindle locking rod access hole (Pic.20) (20.3). By viewing
down the access hole the motor spindle drive flange can be
seen. Carefully rotate the blade by hand until the hole in the
drive flange is aligned with the access hole. Insert the spindle
locking rod through the access hole and ensure that it locates
in the hole in the drive flange (Pic.20) (20.4). Using the blade
removal wrench remove the blade securing bolt (unscrew in a
clockwise direction). Remove the blade retaining flange.
Thoroughly clean both flanges and the motor spindle.
FITTING THE BLADE (PICS.21&22)
Locate the new blade onto the motor spindle ensuring that the
blade is fitted with the teeth facing downward when viewed from
the front of the machine (Pic.21) (21.1). Fit the blade retaining
flange ensuring that the two holes (Pic.22) (22.1) locate onto the
two lugs (Pic.22) (22.2) on the end of the motor spindle. Fit the
blade securing bolt finger tight (in an anti clockwise direction).
Ensure that the spindle locking rod is located in the hole in the
drive flange and fully tighten the blade securing screw.
Note: During use the security of the blade securing bolt should
be checked periodically
BLADE BRAKE (PIC.23)
The blade on this machine is fitted with a friction blade brake,
to slow down the blade when the machine is switched Off. To
adjust the operation of the blade brake, locate the adjusting
screw on the underside of the machine and to the left of the
motor (Pic.23) (23.1). Do not try to slow down the blade with the
work piece or any other object. Doing so could cause injury or
damage to the machine. Caution! Do not over tighten the blade
brake adjusting screw as this could cause the motor to stall on
start up causing damage to the motor.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE BLADE (PIC.24)
Locate the blade elevating handle underneath and at the front of
the saw table top (Pic.24) (24.1). To elevate the blade, rotate the
handle in a clockwise direction. To lower the blade, rotate the
elevating handle in an anti-clockwise direction. The depth of cut
can be set by using the depth scale (Pic.24) (24.2). and pointer
(Pic.24) (24.3) located above the elevation handle.
