FEATURES
The Contractor’s Saw may be used for rip cutting or cross cutting timber up to
70mm (2¾”) in depth.
A double height Rip Fence is provided and may be secured at any desired position
for quick and accurate rip sawing. The max. width obtainable, using the rip fence is
280mm (11”).
For speed and accuracy, a guide is also provided for cross cutting. It is adjustable
so that mitres of up to 45° may be created.
The Upper Blade Guard is hinged to allow it to ride over the timber as the timber
moves over the blade.
IMPORTANT: The Blade Guard must always be in place.
The Lower Blade Guard comprises a box, on to which is mounted the motor and
saw blade. A hinged cover gives access to the blade and other components.
IMPORTANT: This cover must always be in place and secure.
The box is secured by two pivot bolts and two large (Saw Blade) Tilt Adjuster knobs.
Slackening these knobs allows the complete box, with motor and blade, to move
about the pivot bolts so that the blade may tilt by up to 45° - in one direction. It is
then secured in position by tightening the same adjuster knobs.
Extending from the bottom of the box is a handle, used for raising and lowering the
blade and is explained under ‘Operation’.
At one end of the box, (the rear end), a 48mm (1

”) dia hole is provided for use as
a dust extraction outlet. If required it can be connected to a dust extraction device
which will provide fast and efficient removal of sawdust. The dust extractor may be
used continuously or intermittently depending upon your requirements.
Construction of the base unit is in heavy, corrosion resistant, galvanised steel and is
maintenance free. The machine is nevertheless designed for indoor use. Should it
be used outdoors, every attempt should be made to ensure it is protected from the
elements. Do not use in wet conditions.
