the saw is fitted with a "no-Volt" on/off switch. If the power supply is interrupted whilst the saw is on, the saw has to be switched back on
again when the power supply is restored. to switch on press the green "I" switch. to switch off press the red button.
Caution: switch off the machine and unplug from the power supply before carrying out any adjustments, maintenance work or blade changes.
5.1.
Fitting and removing the saw blade guard and dust extractor
5.1.1. to remove the saw blade guard (fig.1.8), unscrew the wing nut and remove the bolt, then lift off the guard.
5.1.2. to replace it, slide it over the riving knife aligning the slot in the guard with the knife (fig.1.3), and align it so that the holes in both the
guard and the riving knife are aligned.
5.1.3. Insert the bolt and fit the wing nut.
5.1.4. tighten the wing nut sufficiently so that the guard rests on the saw table top (fig.1.1) but will lift easily when a workpiece is pushed
towards the blade and also returns to rest on the saw table after the workpiece has been removed.
5.1.5. A suitable vacuum extraction system should be connected to
the outlet of the vacuum extraction adaptor port at the rear of
the table.
5.1.6. connect one end of the flexible hose (fig.1.17) to the dust
extractor duct (fig.1.9) and the other end to the vacuum
extraction duct at the rear of the table.
5.2.
Adjusting the rip fence
5.2.1. the rip fence can be fitted to either side of the table top
(fig.1.1)
5.2.2. lift the rip fence locking lever (fig.1.6) and slide the fence to
the required position.
5.2.3. use the scale (fig.1.19) on the front of the table top to set the
rip fence so that the work piece is sawn to the required width.
5.2.4. Push down the rip fence locking lever (fig.1.6) to clamp the
rip fence in position.
5.3.
Adjusting the cutting depth
5.3.1. set the saw blade to the required cutting depth by turning the
blade depth adjustment wheel (fig.1.10).
5.3.2. turning the wheel anti-clockwise increases the cutting depth,
and clockwise decreases it.
5.4.
Adjusting the riving knife
5.4.1. set the saw blade to maximum cutting depth, move it to the 0° position and
lock it in place with the blade bevel locking knob (fig.1.12).
5.4.2. remove the saw blade guard (see section 5.1.1).
5.4.3. remove the two screws securing the removable table top section (fig.1.4)
and take out the section.
5.4.4. slacken the bolt holding the riving knife (fig.1.3) in place.
5.4.5. raise or lower the riving knife as appropriate so that the distance between
the saw table and the top edge of the riving knife is about 20 mm more than
the height of any workpiece that is to be cut.
5.4.6. the distance between the riving knife and the saw blade should be
3 to 8 mm.
5.4.7. re-tighten the bolt and refit and fix in place the table top section and
replace the saw blade guard.
5.5.
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.
5.5.1. longitudinal cuts involve cutting through a workpiece along its full length.
5.5.2. one edge of the workpiece is pressed against the rip fence while its flat side rests on the table top.
5.5.3. the saw blade guard must always be in place and be adjusted to cover the workpiece.
5.5.4. When making longitudinal cuts, always stand to one side of the cutting line.
5.5.5. set the rip fence to suit the required width using the measuring scales at the front of the table.
5.5.6. switch on the saw.
5.5.7. With fingers together, place hands flat on the workpiece and push it along the fence into the saw blade.
5.5.8. Guide the workpiece at the side with your left hand only as far as the front edge of the guard hood.
5.5.9. Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife.
5.5.10. leave the offcuts on the saw table until the saw blade has stopped.
5.5.11. secure a long workpiece against sagging at the end of the cutting operation (e.g. with a roller table or similar device).
5.5.12. use the push stick for guiding the workpiece if hand gets to within 125 mm of the saw blade.
5.6.
Cutting a narrow workpiece
5.6.1. longitudinal cuts in a workpiece smaller than 125mm width must always be made with the help of the push stick.
5.6.2. 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.
5.7.
Adjusting the bevel cutting angle stops
5.7.1. set the saw blade to maximum cutting depth by rotating the blade depth adjustment wheel (10) anticlockwise as far as possible.
5.7.2. slacken the blade bevel locking knob (fig.1.12).
5.7.3. rotate the blade bevel adjustment knob (fig1.11) anticlockwise as far as possible until the arrow points to 0°.
