Operation
With the machine switched off and disconnected from the mains
supply, carry out the following procedures:
• Set the machine to each of its maximum operational settings
in turn.
• At each setting lower the cutting head to its lowest position,
observing the path of the blade as you do so.
• Check that the blade does not interfere or strike any part of the
machine, castings or guards as the cutting head is lowered.
• Check that when the sliding carriage is employed no contact
between the cutting head and the blade and other parts of the
machine occurs.
• Spin the blade by hand (it is advisable to wear gloves whilst
doing this, but not when the saw is being used operationally).
• Check that the blade rotates smoothly with no unusual noises,
and that there is no contact between the blade and the upper
and lower blade guards.
• Check that there is no discernible blade ‘wobble’ in any
direction as the blade rotates.
