Illustration & Description...
Operating handle
The operating handle contains the interlocked trigger switch and the laser
On/Off button switch. The handle is used to pull the saw over into the
work, or push the saw through the work. To allow the saw to raise to its
‘up’ position, press down on the ‘operating’ handle to ease the pressure
on the ‘lock down pin’; withdraw the pin and allow the saw to raise up
under the power of its tensioning spring.
Lock down pin
The lock down pin is a simple latching pin that can be engaged (pushed
to the left) into the saw mounting frame to hold the saw body down in the
‘housed’ position or disengaged (pulled to the right) to allow the saw
body to rise to the ‘up’ position. DO NOT engage the lock down pin
whilst operating the saw.
Trigger switch
Housed in the operating handle the trigger switch has a full hand length
operating lever so that the whole hand can be used to grip both the
operating handle and the switch simultaneously.
Laser switch
The laser switch is a push button mounted in the operating handle that
toggles the laser On or Off.
Trigger switch interlock
To operate the trigger switch it is necessary to press down ( usually with
the thumb), on the trigger switch interlock on the top of the operating
handle, whilst the interlock is depressed the trigger switch can be
engaged.
Guard latch
Within easy reach, to the left hand side of the operating handle is the
thumb operated guard latch. The guard latch prevents the saw from
being pulled over by locking the lower guard in position around the blade
with the saw body in the ‘up’ position. Releasing the guard by thumbing
the latch to the right, allows the saw to be “pulled over.”
Sliding arm
The sliding arm mounts the pivot housing that carries the pivot shaft
body for the saw body frame and its associated components. The locking
clamp for the sliding arm is mounted on the left of the chassis behind the
fence.The pivot housing also contains a tilt mechanism that allows the
saw body frame to be tilted over, up to and including 45 degrees left.
Mitre scale
This is the shaped and engraved plate riveted to the chassis in front of
the turn table. It is engraved with the angular measurements and there
are various pre set "click" notches to enable quick and easy setting of the
standard mitre angles. The mitre scale is engraved with two ranges of
angles, one range is set from 0˚ t50˚ and the other from 0˚
through –45˚ where 0 is with the saw set square to the fence. There is an
‘easy read’ lens mounted on the side of the turntable, to enable the
scaleto be more easily read.
Adjustable depth stop
Located on the right of the saw behind the blade, the depth stop is a
caphead bolt with a lock nut, adjusting the caphead bolt sets the depth of
cut, by limiting the swing of the saw into the work acording to your
adjustment.
Your 250mm sliding arm compound mitre saw will have been shipped to you in the ‘housed’ position,
i.e. with the saw body locked down. Please take some time to identify the various parts of your
machine so that you are familiar with the terminology we will use to enable you to set up and operate
your machine safely and correctly.
