• To adjust the riving knife, loosen the Allen screw which allows both the
bracket to rotate and the riving knife to move up and down.
• After loosening, rotate the bracket and slide the knife either up or down
until the correct position is attained.
• Retighten the screw (43) firmly (fig. K3).
• Replace the table and replace the Allen screw assembly (42) (fig. K2).
• Set the table to the proper height needed.
• Tighten the table locking knobs (fig. A1 & K2).
Lubrication
This machine requires no additional lubrication. The bearings of the motor
are pre-lubricated and watertight.
• Avoid using oil or grease as this can cause clogging with sawdust and
chips and create problems.
• Clean the parts subject to accumulation of sawdust and chips
periodically with a dry brush.
Instructions for use
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking
machines regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Sawing in mitre saw mode
It is dangerous to operate without guarding. Guards must be in position
when sawing.
Vertical straight cross cut (fig. L)
• Set the rotating table to 0° and lock the table locking knobs (2).
• Place the wood to be cut against the mitre fence (3). Take hold of
machine handle and press in the head lock-up release lever (6).
• Pull down the head approximately 10 mm and release the lock-up lever.
• Now press in the switch (7) and depress the head to allow the blade to
cut through the timber and enter the table slot.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Switch off by depressing the switch again.
Bevel cross cut (fig. M)
• Release the bevel locking handle (1) and tilt the head to the angle required.
• Then re-lock the bevel locking handle.
• Now follow all steps set out in "Vertical straight cross cut".
Vertical mitre cut (fig. N)
• Release the table locking knobs (2).
• Lift the mitre latch lever (13) to disengage it from the 0° position. Note that
the latch has positive locations at 0°, 22-30° and 45° and is spring loaded.
• To obtain these positions simply allow the latch to engage as the table
is rotated.
• For other settings, use the pointer in conjunction with the scale on the
table and use the table locking knobs (2) on the fence to lock in position.
• Now follow all the steps set out in "Vertical straight cross cut".
This machine cannot be used for bevelling when set in the
mitre position; i.e. it will not compound mitre.
Sawing in the bench mode
Ripping (fig. A1, A2, D1, E1 & O)
• Set the blade to the vertical position.
• Loosen the table locking knobs, both main (28) (fig. E1) and additional
(8) (fig. A1), but do not take off. Set the depth of cut by sliding the table
(15) (fig. A2) up or down. The correct position is to have the tips of
three teeth above the top surface of the wood.
en - 5
• Loosen the sliding fence locking knob (26) (fig. D1) and slide the sliding
fence front or rear in order to support as much of the workpiece as
possible. At least the rear end of the fence should be level with the
front of the riving knife.
• Lock the table locking knobs tightly.
• Ensure the plastic guard plate (19) is in fixed position (fig. A2).
• Ensure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade.
• Set the rip fence for the width of cut required by using the scale let into
the front of the table. Set the sliding rip fence to the required position.
• Switch on the machine.
• Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the front of the upper blade
guard, keeping it firmly pressed against the rip fence. Allow the teeth to
cut and do not force the workpiece through the blade.
The blade speed should be kept constant.
• Remember to always use the push stick (44) (fig. O).
• After completing the cut, switch off the machine.
Mounting the cut-to-length gauge/material support
(optional accessory) (fig. P1 - P4)
• This gauge (10) can be fitted to either the left or right of the mitre fence (3).
• First loosen the knurled black plastic knob (45) on the black plastic part
and slide onto the gauge support bar (46) (fig. P1).
• Study figures P2, P3 and P4 and decide which fitting is applicable for
the work to be carried out and slide on accordingly.
• Now loosen the Allen screw (47) in the top end of the fence either left
or right side as required, and slide the gauge support bar into the
square hole provided in the end of the fence (fig. P1).
Transporting
To facilitate carrying, pull down the head and push in the head lock down
knob (14).
