SLIDING CARRIAGE
This machine is fitted with a Sliding Carriage
(Fig. 34)
to the
LH side of the blade. This facility can be particularly useful
when cross-cutting small section material such as metal box-
section or extrusions etc.
Such material can be clamped to the Sliding Carriage by using
the secured Mitre Gauge and its Hold Down Clamp. Operator
control and safety are thereby enhanced.
The Sliding Carriage system can also be very useful (when
used in conjunction with a secured Mitre Gauge) for repetitive
cross-cutting.
TO USE THE SLIDING CARRIAGE
WARNING:
The machine must be switched off, the blade
stationary, and the switch cover plate in the closed (safe)
position whenever adjustments etc are being made to the
machine or the work-piece.
Lock the Mitre Gauge onto the Sliding Carriage by screwing
the locking screw into the locating hole found to the front
edge of the carriage
(Fig. 31)
.
Adjust the Mitre Gauge Face Plate to ensure that it passes the
blade and blade guard as it travels past both during a cut.
Unlock the pin under the Sliding Carriage by pulling out the
knob
(Fig. 35 A)
and turning it 90˚
(Fig. 35 B)
, allowing it to rest
in its unlocked position
(Fig. 35 C)
. Using the Mitre Gauge as
a hand hold, gently push the carriage rearwards to make a cut
(Fig. 36)
.
To lock the Sliding Carriage again, reverse the unlocking motion.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts on this machine.
Always use the appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and kickback.
We recommend that the saw blade protrudes through the
material to be cut by approximately 3mm. Adjust the height of
the blade as previously described. This machine is not suitable
for cutting rebates or stopped grooves.
A vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction device can
be connected to the extraction port found at the rear of the
machine if required
