6. Anti-bounce Device
If required, when cutting thin sheet or thin walled box-
section material
(maximum 3mm thickness applies when
Steel cutting),
the anti-bounce device can be employed.
See Fig 24. Adjust using the adjustable handle and knob for
best position.
Note
Adjust the anti-bounce device so that the head does not quite
touch the material to be cut. You can achieve this by gently
clamping the material to be cut with the anti-bounce device,
and then backing off the head by 1/4 to1/2 a turn.
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. See Fig 25.
Note:
Adjust the blade guard for mitre, bevel or compound
cutting as detailed in Assembly 8.
1. Crosscutting
Set the mitre gauge to 0
0
and tighten using the vertical handle.
Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust the mitre face plate as
previously described. Index the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate. Switch on the saw and allow to reach
full operating speed before making your cut. See Fig 26.
Note:
Adjust the blade guard for mitre, bevel or compound
cutting as detailed in Assembly 8.
2. Mitre crosscutting
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at an angle other
than 90
0
. Set the mitre gauge to the desired angle, tighten and
proceed as crosscutting above.
3. Bevel crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting but with the
blade tilted at an angle. Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described, and ensure that it is locked in place. Set
the mitre gauge to 0
0
and adjust the faceplate so that it does
not touch or foul the saw blade as it passes. Index the material
against the mitre gauge and make your cut. See Fig 27.
