Caution label (J) and caution labels (C) and (E) are adhered to each machine to comply with the standards for the safe use of laser equipment.

  • Page 18: Precautions Requiring Particular Attention During Sales Promotion

    (1) Be sure to use the carbon brushes dedicated to the Models C 8FSE and C 8FSHE (110 V to 120 V: Code No. 999021, 220 V to 240 V: Code No. 999001). Use of other carbon brushes will adversely affect the brake performance.

  • Page 19: Adjustment And Operational Precautions

    ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS 1. Confirmation of saw blade lower limit position The lower limit of the saw blade cutting depth is factory-adjusted so that when the saw blade is fully lowered, its cutting edge is 10 to 11 mm (13/32" to 7/16") below the upper surface of the turn table in order to cut workpieces completely without cutting the bottom of the turn table groove.

  • Page 20: Position Adjustment Of Laser Line (Only The Model The C 8Fshe)

    3. Position adjustment of laser line (Only the Model C 8FSHE) The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the Fig. 18 time of factory shipment. Depending upon the cutting choice, align the laser line with the left side of the cutting width (saw blade) or the right side according to the following procedure.

    4. How to use the vise assembly Fig. 21 (1) The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left fence 6 mm wing (fence (B)) or the right fence (fence (A)) by loosening 6 mm bolt (B) wing bolt (A). (2) The screw holder can be raised or lowered according to the height of the workpiece by loosening 6 mm wing bolt (B).

  • Page 22: Cutting Operation

    (3) Press cutting ( 3 in Fig. 23) The Models C 8FSE/C 8FSHE can be used for press cutting of workpieces up to 65 mm square in a single operation by simply pushing the saw blade section 3 downward in the same manner as the Model C 8FB2.

  • Page 24 grain) are better than those on the sides marked ( B ). (9) Crown molding cutting This machine can cut two types of crown molding workpieces by combining the miter and bevel cutting operations. Figure 25 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°. For the typical crown molding fittings, see Fig.
  • Page 25 2 Tilt the motor head to the left and set the bevel angle as follows: * For 45° type crown moldings: 30° ( mark) * For 38° type crown moldings: 33.9° ( mark) 3 Position the crown molding so that the upper surface ( in Fig.
  • Page 26 WARNING: Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the crown molding to the fence; otherwise the crown molding might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm. Do not perform bevel cutting. The main body or the saw blade may contact the sub fence, resulting in an injury.

  • Page 27: Adjustment Of Components

    ADJUSTMENT OF COMPONENTS 1. Bevel angle adjustment Before shipping from the factory, the height of 8-mm bolts (A) and (B) is adjusted so that the saw blade section (head) will stop at 0° (right angle), and 45° to the left. To change the head stop positions, instruct the customer to adjust the height of 8-mm bolts (A) and (B) by turning them.
