OPERATION
Always wear safety glasses complying
with U.S. ANSI Z87.1 before beginning any
power tool operation.
To avoid injury from unexpected starting,
whenever changing the saw blade or
carrying out adjustments, switch the saw off and remove the
power cord from the mains outlet. To avoid injury to hands
when handling the saw blade, wear gloves whenever
necessary.
Do not operate before properly lubricating
the saw. Failure to lubricate before using
can damage the saw.
Power at the main power switch must be
set to "O" (OFF) whenever the saw is not
actively in use.
Do not activate the saw if bolt (114) is not
tightened.
Do not use blades with chipped, missing
or insufficiently sharp cutting edges
This saw provides two modes of operation:
•
Manual (see "Manual cutting operation:" on page 9)
•
Semi-automatic (see "Semi-automatic mode cutting
operation:" on page 10)
Safety checks to perform before each cut:
•
Check the the blade's condition. It should have no chipped
or missing teeth and the teeth should not appear dull. If
required, changed the blade as outlined in "Changing Blades"
on page 10.
•
Make sure that screw 114 holding the blade is securely
tightened.
•
Verify cutting angle.
•
Make sure that the piece to be cut is secured in the vise.
•
Make sure that the coolant is circulating.
•
Adjust the head stops so that the idle stroke is not too long.
•
Position the clamp vise as close to the blade as possible.
•
Verify that all safety guard screws are secured, especially the
screws on the blade guard.
•
Verify that the power microswitch and the emergency button
are functioning correctly. Test them during a loadless machine
cycle.
•
Pay attention to environmental conditions. Do not use the saw
if its work area is wet or damp,
•
Ensure that all tools used for maintenance or adjustment have
been removed and put away.
•
Verify that all safety devises are in good working order.
•
Verify that all moving parts are free to move throughout their
normal operating range.
