To remove the lever handled
locking screw:
• Remove the cross-headed screw that secures the lever handle
to the locking screw.
• Lift the lever handle off the hexagonal locking screw head.
• Using a suitable spanner (not supplied) remove the locking
screw and its associated washer from the machines base.
• Lift the rear vice jaw from the machines base.
• Reposition the vice jaw.
• Replace the socket headed screw into its new service position.
• Replace the locking screw and its lever handle into their
new service positions.
• Ensure that all plain and locking washers are replaced in their
correct service positions.
Note: Repositioning the rear vice jaw to the rearmost position
will enable wider pieces of material to be cut than is possible
with the rear vice jaw in the forward position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING TO MAKE A CUT
Do not overreach. Keep good footing and balance. Stand to
one side so that your face and body are out of line of a possible
kickback.
WARNING:
Freehand cutting is a major cause of accidents and
should not be attempted.
• Ensure that the work-piece is firmly
secured in the vice.
• The machines base should be clean and free from any ‘swarf’
or sawdust, etc, before the work-piece is clamped into position.
• Ensure that the ‘cut-off’ material is free to move sideways
away from the blade when the cut is completed. Ensure that
the ‘cut-off’ piece cannot become ‘jammed’ in any other
part of the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces.
If the work-piece being cut would cause your hand or
fingers to be within 150mm of the sawblade, the work-piece
is too small.
Angles should be clamped in an inverted position
(Fig.10)
so
that the point of the section is uppermost.
