Mounting the water collectors (fig. E1 & E2)
Rear water collector
The rear water collector (15) collects water run-off when cutting large
workpieces.
• Hold the water collector in position to the rear of the water basin.
•
Slide the arms (36) underneath the edges (37) of the water basin until
the recesses (38) locate behind the lugs.
• Tilt the rear of the water collector slightly until the collector snaps in
position.
Sliding table water collector
The sliding table water collector (14) travels with the table and collects
water run-off from large tiles and diagonal cuts.
• Hold the water collector in position to the right-hand side of the sliding
table.
• Slide the arms (39) underneath the edges (40) of the sliding table until
the recesses (41) locate behind the lugs.
• Tilt the rear of the water collector slightly until the collector snaps in
position.
Mounting the cutting disc (fig. F1 & F2)
The maximum diameter cutting disc that can be fitted is 254 mm.
• Using the Allen key (42) supplied, loosen the screw (43) on the side of
the guard. Do not remove the screw.
• Pull back the rubber side flap (44) and lift the guard (9) towards the rear.
• Depress the spindle lock button (45) with one hand, then take the
supplied spanner (46) in the other hand to loosen the locking nut (47)
by turning counterclockwise.
To use the spindle lock, press the button as shown and rotate
the spindle by hand until you feel the lock engage. Continue to
hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from turning.
• Remove the locking nut (47) and the outside arbor collar (48).
• Install the cutting disc with the arrow facing the same way as the arrow
on the guard.
• Replace the outer arbor collar (48).
• Tighten the locking nut (47) by turning clockwise while holding the spindle
lock engaged with your other hand.
• Put the guard (9) back in position.
• Tighten the screw (43) on the side of the guard.
Never press the spindle lock while the cutting disc is rotating.
Connecting the machine to the mains (fig. A)
• Make sure the on/off switch (1) is in the off position.
• Connect the mains plug to a mains supply.
• Arrange a drip loop in the cord connecting the machine to mains to
prevent water from dripping onto the plug. The drip loop is that part of
the cord below the level of the socket.
Adjustment
Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.
Checking and adjusting the cutting depth (fig. G)
The rim of the cutting disc should always be at least 5 mm below the table
surface.
• Loosen the depth adjustment knob (2).
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
• Tighten the depth adjustment knob (2).
• Make a dry run by pushing the table entirely through the cutting disc.
Check that the cutting disc does not foul the table.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the depth adjustment knob (2).
• Loosen the wingnut (49) a few turns.
• Adjust the cutting depth stop (10) as necessary, making sure that the
rim of the cutting disc is at least 5 mm below the table surface.
• Tighten the wingnut (49).
Checking that the crosscut travel is perpendicular to the fence
(fig. H1 & H2)
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
• Move the table in front of the disc.
• Place a square (50) on the table and against the fence and just
touching the disc as shown.
• Push the table through the cutting disc to check that the disc traverses
parallel to the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Slacken the screws (51) holding the rail assembly to the frame.
• Position the rail adjuster (52) as necessary.
• With the square placed against the fence, check again that the disc
traverses parallel to the square and adjust as necessary.
• Tighten the screws (51).
Checking that the cutting disc is perpendicular to the table (fig. I1 - I3)
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11).
• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten
the bevel clamp knob.
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
•
Move the table until underneath the disc.
• Place a square (50) on the table and against the disc as shown.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11) and turn the vertical position
adjustment stop screw (53) in or out until the disc is at 90° to the table
as measured with the square.
• If the bevel pointer (54) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (55),
loosen the screw (56) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as
necessary.
Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. I3 & J)
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11) and move the saw head to the left.
This is the 45° bevel position.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the stopscrew (57) in or out as necessary until the pointer (54)
indicates 45°.
Cutting a kerf (fig. K)
The kerf indicator (58) helps to locate the path of the cutting disc.
• Switch on the machine and wait for the disc to reach full speed.
• Push the table entirely through the cutting disc to cut a kerf in the
wheel (59).
• Switch off the machine.
If the kerf is worn, a new kerf can be created.
• Loosen the locking screw (60).
•
Rotate the wheel (59) to expose uncut surface.
• Tighten the locking screw (60).
• Cut a new kerf following the instructions as described above.
Checking and adjusting the scale (fig. L)
• Move the table until underneath the disc.
• Check the scale (61) on the fence using a tape measure (62) with the
zero marking placed against the cutting disc.
• If adjustment is required, loosen the screws (63) that hold the scale (62)
in place, adjust to the correct dimension and tighten the screws.
