MAIN ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT
SWITCH
The main electrical disconnect switch
is located on the electrical enclosure. The switch
disconnects the saw's electrical circuits from the
main power supply when turned to the "Off"
position. The enclosure door is opened by
rotating the switch to the "Off" position. The
switch can be locked in the "Off" position by
pulling out the red tab in the center of the handle
and inserting a padlock.
The main electrical disconnect
switch must always be turned
to the "Off" position and
locked before adjusting,
servicing or cleaning the saw.
Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Hazardous voltage is present
on the input side of the main
disconnect switch after the
disconnect switch is turned to
the "Off" position. Serious
injury or death will occur if
contact is made with the input
voltage lines.
To open the electrical enclosure door, turn the
disconnect to the off position.
COLUMN TILT LOCK HANDLE
The
column tilt lock handle, mounted on the rear of
the saw column, locks and unlocks the saw
column for tilting. A protractor mounted on the
side of the saw column indicates the tilt angle. A
handle is provided on the saw column to assist
in tilting.
Crush Hazard.
Column may fall when brake
is released.
Avoid damaging the saw.
When the saw column is tilted,
the saw table vises must be
positioned with the 60
o
edge of
the vise jaws next to the blade.
The tilt lock handle is shown above, on the back
side of the column. The tilt protractor is visible
on the side of the column.
VISES
The vises are designed for rapid
clamping and can be quickly reversed to allow
either the 60º edge or the 90º
edge of the face
plate to be next to the blade, thus allowing the
stock to be clamped as close to the blade as
possible for either vertical or miter cutting.
NOTE: The vise jaws and ratchet nuts are not
physically connected to each other, so when not
under clamping force, the vise jaws move freely
on the ratchet nuts. This is normal and permits
