D. FENCE
Our last item to install is the rip fence. Notice on the front edge and back edge of the table, there
are four Va" threaded holes. These holes accept the bolts that attach the tubes to the table. (See
Figure 10).
Figure 10 Shows how tubes are attached to table.
1. Use the four V
2
" x20x2"L Allen HD bolts and spacers to attach the tubes to the table.
2. Note that the rip fence must be mounted on the front tube before the two Allen HD bolts are
installed.
3. Secure, and give the tubes a "shot" of light oil or silicon spray.
Congratulations! The saw is now all assembled! However, before you "fire her up", we have a few
other items to review with you. So, please, resist that urge for just a short while longer and we'll
review these items with you right away in Section 9, which begins next. Your patience will be
rewarded in greater operating satisfaction and safety.
IX. SAFETY, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
We empathize with your keen interest in "watching the wheels go 'round", and you are just about
ready. We do, however, want to review some procedural items with you first When this is done,
you will be well prepared to derive maximum value and utility from your new equipment So, with
no further adieu, let's carry on.
It's not the most pleasant thing in the world to say, but it's true, and it needs to be said: This
equipment is very capable of injuring you most severely if used recklessly or carelessly. This
does not mean you should be afraid of the machine; it does mean you must always respect it
This is the fundamental "problem statement" of this part. Please follow along and observe the
following safety items to fully address this concern.
A. SAFETY PROCEDURES
1.
We've already addressed the business of correctly grounding the equipment before placing
it in service, back on page 7. The only thing we could add here would be: "make sure that it
gets done".
2.
Observe the rest of the electrical requirements as the fuse/circuit breaker sizing, wire sizing,
and so forth.
3.
Insure the machine sits firmly on the floor or on the ground before use. Any "wobbles" must
be corrected by shimming or blocking.
