Turntable
Mounted into a circular recess in the main saw chassis, the turntable also
mounts the extrusion that contains the kerf plate (the plate with the slot
that allows the saw to enter the table) The locking clamp for the turntable
is mounted on the right hand side of the chassis behind the fence. The
turntable can be pivoted 50 degrees right or 45 degrees left.
Sliding arm locking
Turning the knob clockwise will drive the threaded rod through its housing
clamp
to clamp against the sliding arm, clamping it in position. Ensure that the
clamp is either tightened down to hold the sliding arm in a set position, or
WELL LOOSENED OFF, allowing the arm to move freely.
Saw arbor lock button
Used during blade changing operations, depressing this button will lock
the saw arbor, enabling the spanner to loosen the arbor bolt. If the lock
will not engage at first, rotate the saw blade by hand until the lock button
depresses fully and the saw arbor is locked. As the lock is spring biased
to the unlocked position, you will need to keep the button depressed
whilst you are loosening or tightening the arbor bolt. DO NOT use this
lock if power is connected to the machine, or the saw is freewheeling.
Tilt adjustment stops
Two adjustment stops that allow calibration of the tilt action of the saw to
be preset to the vertical and 45 degrees left.
Upper guard
Fixed guard, part of the saw body frame, covering the top part of the saw
blade.
Lower guard
The lower guard is a ‘cup’ guard, moulded in clear plastic, that covers the
lower portion of the saw blade, at the same time allowing sight of the work
operation.It is pivoted on a mounting on the upper guard and operated by
a lever that rotates it out of the cutting line when the saw is ‘pulled over’.
Main saw chassis
Aluminium casting that mounts all the other pieces of the mitre saw. It has
four moulded feet that are bored to allow fixing screws or bolts to be
inserted to secure the saw to a stable work surface or a ‘quick mounting’
board. There are also two recesses in the left and right of the machine
behind the fence that are for fitting the holding clamp/s. Machined into the
sides of the chassis are the housings to enable the extention/support
frames to be fitted. Finger indents are also moulded in the sides of the
chassis to provide a secure gripping position whilst carrying the saw. To
the rear of the chassis on the left hand side is the housing for the sliding
arm mechanism.
Extension/support frames
These frames are made from 12mm steel rod, and provide extended
support to either side of the table, very necessary if you are cutting longer
lengths of material.
Cut length stop mounting
A mounting that fits onto the rear arm of the extension/support
frame, along which it can be slid and clamped. The cut length stop is
fitted to this and has several location holes, enabling a wide range of
size to be cut. When not in required ‘flip’ the stop out of the way
Saw body frame
Mounted on the shaft of the pivot housing on the sliding arm the saw body
frame carries the guards, the motor and saw blade and the operating
handle.
