6.3.
MAKING LONGITUDINAL CUTS
IMPORTANT: After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a trial cut in order to check the set dimensions. After switching on
the saw, wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed of rotation before commencing a cut. Take extra care when starting a cut.
6.3.1.
Longitudinal cuts involve cutting through a workpiece along its full length.
6.3.2.
One edge of the workpiece is pressed against the rip fence (fig.10) while its flat side rests on the table top.
6.3.3.
The saw blade guard (section 5.5) must always be in place and be adjusted to cover the workpiece.
6.3.4.
When making longitudinal cuts, always stand to one side of the cutting line.
6.3.5.
Set the rip fence to suit the required width using the front rail (rip fence rule) (fig.10) at the front of the table.
6.3.6.
Switch on the saw.
6.3.7.
With fingers together, place hands flat on the workpiece and push it along the fence into the saw blade.
6.3.8.
Guide the workpiece at the side with your left hand only as far as the front edge of the guard hood.
6.3.9.
Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife.
6.3.10.
Leave the offcuts on the saw table until the saw blade has stopped.
6.3.11.
Secure a long workpiece against sagging at the end of cutting by using a roller stand such as Sealey part no: RS5 or similar.
6.3.12.
Use the push stick for guiding the workpiece if hand gets to within 125mm of the saw blade.
6.4.
CUTTING A NARROW WORKPIECE
6.4.1.
Longitudinal cuts in a workpiece smaller than 125mm width must always be made with the help of the push stick.
6.4.2.
Longitudinal cuts in an extremely narrow workpiece with a width of 30mm or less must always be made with the help of a push block. A
push block can be made from an offcut piece of wood.
6.5.
MAKING BEVEL CUTS
6.5.1.
Always use the fence when cutting bevels.
6.5.2.
Set the saw blade to the required angle using Bevel locking handle (section 6.2) and Bevel adjusting handwheel (section 6.2).
6.5.3.
Set the fence to suit the width of the workpiece.
6.5.4.
Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece width.
6.5.5.
Use the push stick for guiding the workpiece if hand gets to within 125mm of the saw blade.
6.6.
USING THE MITRE GAUGE AND MAKING CROSS CUTS
6.6.1.
Slide the mitre gauge (fig.1.12) into one of the two slots on the saw table top .
6.6.2.
Slacken the knurled knob on the mitre gauge, adjust mitre gauge until the arrow points to the required angle, tighten the knurled knob.
6.6.3.
Press the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge and switch on the saw.
6.6.4.
Push the mitre gauge and the workpiece together towards the saw blade in order to make the cut.
IMPORTANT: Always hold the guided part of the workpiece. Never hold the part of the workpiece that will become the off-cut.
6.6.5.
Always push the mitre gauge far enough forward for the workpiece to be cut through completely.
6.6.6.
Switch the saw off and wait for the saw blade to stop before removing any off-cuts.
NOTE: when making compound cuts (combination of both bevel and cross cut) - use the lower slot for the mitre gauge which prevents
hands and the mitre gauge coming into contact with the saw blade.
IMPORTANT: Do not push the rip fence too far towards the saw blade. The minimum distance between the rip fence and the saw blade
should be 20mm.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1.
BLADE CHANGING
WARNING! Wear protective gloves to change the blade.
‰
7.1.1.
Ensure that the saw is isolated from the electric supply.
7.1.2.
Remove the blade guard (fig.1.14) and table insert (fig.7.17,
Section 5.3).
7.1.3.
Raise the blade to its maximum height (Section 6.2).
7.1.4.
Tilt blade to 45° (Section 6.2).
7.1.5.
Using spanners provided (fig.15.26), hold the spindle (fig.15.73)
while releasing the arbor nut and flange (fig.15.71, fig.15.72).
7.1.6.
Remove the blade and replace with the new blade, making sure
that the arrow on the blade corresponds to the direction of the
motor rotation.
7.1.7.
Replace with the new blade, placing the flange on the spindle.
7.1.8.
Ensure that both flanges are in uniform contact with the blade and secure the arbor nut whilst holding the spindle still.
7.2.
CLEANING
7.2.1.
Clean the saw regularly to remove dirt, dust and chippings using a soft brush and cloth. Wear safety glasses whilst brushing away
dust and dirt. Keep the air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
7.2.2.
Clean plastic components with water and a mild detergent, never use caustic or abrasive cleaners. Water must never come into contact
with the saw or electrical components.
7.3.
Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
7.4.
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
7.5.
Only an authorised service centre should carry out other repairs.
