Maintenance - Axminster TS-200 User Manual

Fig 69
Tighten up the saw bolt, check the riving knife is aligned with the saw blade, and correctly
positioned. Replace the table insert and secure with the 4 hex screws. Replace the saw
blade guard. When everything is satisfactory, turn the saw blade once by hand to check it
doesn't foul anywhere.
Reconnect the machine to the mains supply. Give the machine a 'quick' burst check ( i.e.
quick ON-OFF) to ensure everything is O.K. If everything is satisfactory, continue to use the
machine. Check the old blade for sharpness, missing teeth, resin build up, etc., clean if
necessary and send for refurbishment/resharpening if required. If the blade is not to be
re-sharpened, clean and pack away in its storage case.
Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust build up as is practical. Periodically, remove
the saw gullet and vacuum out and clean out the saw box and the extraction housing.
Remove any resin build up in the saw box, using a proprietary resin cleaner.
Clean the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall and tilt mechanisms. At the same time
check the belt drive, i.e. the belt is not 'glazing' with resin build up, likewise with the pulley
wheels. Check the belt tension. If the belt is becoming slack, loosen the motor hold down
bolts and drive the motor backward with its adjusting bolt.
Check the saw blade regularly for chipped, missing, damaged teeth etc. and remove any
resin build up from the blade, riving knife etc.
If you have finished using the saw bench, clean above and below the work table and using
a damp cloth wipe the saw bench over. If the saw bench is not going to be used for a period
of time, smear a light coat of oil over the work table and place a dust sheet over the saw
bench. (Order no: 600410).
