MAINTENANCE

Warning: Ensure the machine is discon
nected from the main supply BEFORE any
maintenance tasks or adjustments are carried
out. Your Bench Table Saw requires very little
maintenance.
Carrying out those tasks specified below, will not
only ensure the maximum safety of operation,
but will also prolong the life of your machine.
AFTER EACH USE:
Sawdust must be removed from the machine.
Remove the side cover by undoing the securing
screws, and use a vacuum cleaner to ensure all
dust is removed, before replacing the cover.
All plastic components can be wiped clean with
a soft dry cloth.
Keep saw blade sharp:
A blade that is badly dulled or with broken or badly
damaged teeth should be replaced immediately.
To replace the saw blade:
1.Remove the side cover by undoing the securing
screws.
2.Place a steel bar or screwdriver blade(not
supplied)between the table top and one of the
saw blade teeth, (at the point arrowhead in Fig 11).
Then undo the saw blade securing nut - normal
right hand thread using a suitable spanner (not
supplied).
3.Remove the outer flange followed by the saw
blade by angling it outwards at the bottom so
that it is clear of the motor shaft, and carefully
withdrawing it from below.
4.Replace in reverse order ensuring the saw blade
teeth face downwards at the front of the table.
Hold the blade firmly whilst wearing a good
industrial glove when tightening the centre nut,
taking care to avoid hurting your hands by the
sharp teeth.
5.Make sure the direction arrow on the blade
matches the rotational direction of the motor.
RIVING KNIFE:
The riving knife is an important component and
must always be in place and directly in line with
the saw blade. It prevents the work from chattering
as it passes through the blade. (See Fig 12)
