General Instructions for 240v Machine...
www.axminster.co.uk
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not
reaching etc.
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or
chips, wear the appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc.
If the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you
wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will
minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the tool,
likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these
are liable to be a ‘snag’ hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear,
etc.
DO NOT
work with cutting tools of any description if you are tired, your attention is
wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fingertip or worse; is
not worth it!
DO NOT
use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or
in areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised
machines for working in these areas,
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
CHECK
that blades are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and
sharp, this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.
Above all,
OBSERVE….
make sure you know what is happening around you, and
USE
YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Initial Assembly...
Your saw is packed in the box partially assembled. Unfortunately this is more of an exercise to ensure
that the components are inserted in the correct positions than a shortening of the build time. e.g. the
blade is fitted, the securing bolt for the tilt mechanism is inserted in the tilt quadrant with the washer
and the locking butterfly nut threaded on to the bolt, etc.
Please make careful note of the positions of the various components if you have cause to
disassemble whilst putting the machine together. (Now there’s an oxymoron).
Take all the easily removable items out of the box, tip the box up so that the base of the saw is to the
ground, remove all the polystyrene packaging from around the saw (open both sides of the box?) then
“corner walk” the saw out of the box. If this is still awkward, split the top of the box, fold the box
material flat on the floor, and “wriggle” the saw off the cardboard. (The best method of moving the saw
is with a ‘hug’ lift through the neck of the saw, holding the saw back against your body and lifting by
straightening your legs).
