When ripping long boards or large panels always use a remote
work support or enlist trained competent help.
Feed the work-piece through the saw keeping it indexed
against the Rip Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary
(Fig. 44)
.
When the ripping width is greater than 300mm, with care,
both hands can be used to guide/feed the material through
the saw. The operators left hand will be to the LH side of the
saw blade. The operators right hand will be close to the Rip
Fence on the RH side of the saw blade. Hands should
never
be
in line with the blade.
BEVEL RIPPING
When bevel ripping material 150mm or narrower use the Rip
Fence on the RH side of the blade only.
PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick, labelled
14
is provided with the machine
and has its own dedicated storage brackets to the RH side of
the machines main body
(Fig. 45)
.
When not in use store the
push stick on the machine.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged it should be replaced.
If the operator makes their own push stick, we recommend that
it follows the same pattern as that supplied. (Replacement push
sticks are available from Evolution Power Tools.)
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the
mains supply before any maintenance tasks or adjustments
are attempted.
CHANGING THE BLADE
Note:
We recommend that the operator considers wearing
protective gloves when handling or changing the machines
blade.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply
• Remove the top blade guard.
(refer to BLADE GUARD on
page 17)
• Remove the access plate by turning the locking screw ¼ of a
turn and gently ease the access plate from the table
(Fig. 46)
. Safely store the access plate for future use.
• Raise the blade to its highest position.
• Use the two blade changing tools provided. One to hold
the motor arbor, and the other to remove the arbor
nut
(Fig. 47)
.
• Remove the nut, outer flange and blade.
