Assembly Instructions - Clarke Woodworker CTS10C Operating & Maintenance Manual

ASSEMBLY
Before the machine can be used, the loose parts must first be assembled to it, and certain
adjustments carried out. Please proceed as follows:
A. The Saw Blade
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING THE SAW BLADE.
THE TEETH ARE EXTREMELY SHARP AND CARELESSNESS COULD CAUSE SEVERE
1. Turn Blade height adjuster handwheel anticlockwise until the arbor is up as high as it
will go, remove the two Table Insert screws and lift the table insert out of the recess in the table.
2. Place the open end arbor spanner on the flats on the inner flange to prevent the
arbor from rotating, and remove the blade securing nut using the spanner provided.
Remove the outer flange.
3. Manoeuvre the blade gently through the slot in the table, so as not to damage the
teeth, and mount it on the arbor, ensuring the TEETH OF THE BLADE ARE POINTING
DOWN AT THE FRONT OF THE TABLE.
4. Replace the outer flange, followed by the blade securing nut, and tighten securely.
5. Replace the table insert, in the recess in the table, and secure in place. Ensure the
blade rotates truly and freely - by hand.
B. Blade Guard and Bracket Assembly
1. From among the loose parts, locate
the following:
1.1 1 x Hex bolt (M6x55mm)
1.2 2 x Flat washers (6mm)
1.3 2 x Lockwashers (1 x external
shakeproof and 1 x internal
shakeproof - 6mm)
1.4 1 x Blade Guard Support Bracket
complete with Blade Guard and
anti-Kickback Pawls.
2. The mounting for the Blade Guard
Bracket is at the rear centre of the table.
Thread the bolt with the flat and shake- proof
washers in place, as shown opposite, through
the slotted hole in the bracket support, and
into the mounting hole (Fig.2).
3. Using a straight edge, check to ensure the
Guard bracket is correctly aligned with the
saw blade (Fig.3). If an adjustment is
necessary, the guard bracket can be moved
left or right, and rotated. When you are certain
it is properly aligned with the e saw blade,
tighten the securing bolt fully.
