Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication. Health hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: * Lead from lead-based paint.
……Location Certain types of woods. press boards, etc. produce hazardous dust emissions when being processed. For this reason, processing procedures must be performed with an exhaust unit (air speed at the connection points: 20m/s) Be sure to switch on the machine and the exhaust unit simultaneously.
……Machine maintenance Unplug the mains cable before any mechanical or electrical work is per-formed or when the sawing tool is changed. Regularly lubricate mechanical parts: threaded rods, gears, driving chains, hinges, sliding parts, etc. Grounding Instructions Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Receiving Remove the saw and accessories from the shipping carton and inspect for damage. Any damage should be reported to your distributor and shipping agent immediately. Before proceeding further, read your instruction manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety procedures. Contents of the box Saw body with switch 1 set...
Mounting and adjusting the splitting wedge Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Loosen the flange base with a 13 mm wrench and insert the splitting wedge. Adjust the splitting wedge and be sure to maintain a distance of approx. 3mm to the saw blade (Fig. 4). Securely fasten the splitting wedge with screw.
Use the right guide notch as an optical reference to check that the longitudinal limit stop setting is parallel. (Fig. 7) & (Fig. 8). Then longitudinal limit stop can be moved or turned for flat work pieces by loosening the lower M8 clamp screw in the limit stop holder. (Fig. 9) & (Fig. 10). The longitudinal limit stop can be used on the left or the right side of the saw blade.
Adjusting the Pivot Release the lock knob A (Fig.13). The saw blade can be lowered by up to 45º by applying pressure to the hand wheel B (Fig.14). The height can then be adjusted as the pressure on the hand wheel is removed. Fig.
Cutting narrower work pieces, edges and strips… Use the flat edge of the longitudinal limit stop for work pieces narrower than 120 mm. Use a parallel intermediate piece if necessary. Secure longer work piece so that they do not flip after the cutting procedure (i.e.
