3.1
Assembly
Note: Numbers in brackets refer to Parts Diagram Items.
3.1.1
Remove the unit from packing and check that all items in the
following list are present and undamaged:
Saw Assembly
Drive Belt
Pulley Cover
Bag of screws, Washers, Nuts, Split Pins & Hex. Key.
3.1.2
Assemble the floor stand as described below using the nuts and
bolts provided. ( Refer to fig.2 )
3.1.3
Make one end frame by assembling two legs (102) to short
upper cross member (106) using four bolts (103), four washers
(29) and four nuts (4). Attach lower short cross member (104)
to the inside of the legs using two bolts (103).
3.1.4
Create a second end frame using the same set of components.
3.1.5
Join the two end frames together using two long upper cross
members (107) using two bolts (103) at each end of each cross
member. The ends of the long cross members should pass under
the ends of the short cross members (106).
3.1.6
Attach the two lower long cross members (105) to the inside of
the frame using one bolt at the end of each.
3.1.7
The anti-vibration mountings (101) can either be fitted to the base
of the saw or to the stand. For bench mounting and when the
stand is to be secured to the floor, fit the mountings to the saw
base. Where the stand is to be portable, fit the mountings to
the bottom of the legs, as shown in fig.2.
3.1.8
Place the saw onto the stand and retain it at either end with bolt
(30) and nut (4) ( see fig.2 and A in fig.3)
3.1.9. Slide stock stop rod (21) into vice base (36) and tighten set screw
in front face of vice to retain.( See main parts diagram.)
3.1.10 When the saw arm is in the down position the cutting edge of the
blade should be just below the main surface of the vice in order for
the blade to cut all the way through the work piece. If this is not the
case, loosen the lock nut (11) and adjust the stop bolt (10) so that
the cutting edge of the blade is 2 to 3mm below the vice surface.
Re-tighten locknut (11).
3.2
Adjusting blade speed (See fig.1)
Adjust the blade speed to suit the metal to be cut. The recommended
pulley selections are shown in the chart below.
3.2.1
