ADJUSTING CUTTING CAPACITY
WARNING: Before any adjustments, disconnect the machine from the
power source.
this machine has been set by the manufacturer at the maximum cutting
capacity for a 10” saw blade. If the diameter of the blade diminishes
because of sharpening, adjust the machine per the following instructions:
1. Push the handle down completely, to its lowest position.
2.
Turn the kerf depth adjustment screw (cc, fig.12) with a 5 mm hex wrench
so that the saw blade teeth are slightly below the table surface in line with
the front surface of the fence.
3. Be sure the saw is disconnected from power. turn the saw blade
by hand, and pressing the handle to its lowest position, check the saw
blade does not contact anything below the table. If necessary, you can
adjust upward very slightly.
4. Tighten the hex locking nut (nn, fig.12) on the shank of the kerf depth
adjustment screw to lock its setting.
REPLACING ThE CARBON BRUShES
WARNING: Prior to inspection or saw maintenance, turn off power
switch and disconnect plug from power source.
1. remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
2. use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
3. replace brushes when they are excessively chipped or wear down to
the limit (1/4) mark (fig.4).
4. take out the worn carbon brushes, insert new ones and secure the
brush holder caps.
5. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
6. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
CALIBRATION OF CUT
Each degree of error in your miter or bevel cut setting is magnified when
translated across the width of the cut you are making. Precision cuts, as
any veteran woodworker will tell you, will be more successful if a piece of
scrap wood is used to make a test cut first. This saw is equipped with quick
stops for easy angle adjustment, but they are designed to aid in rough
carpentry.
to increase the accuracy of the saw’s miter settings, you can make some
fine adjustments.
NOTE:
When making cuts, ensure that all hold-down clamps are tight
and angle adjustment settings are locked in. This will reduce errors
produced by slippage, both in the material and in the saw settings.
ADJUSTMENT OF MITER ANGLE
1. the fence is secured with four 6 mm hex socket head bolts.
2. Loosen these bolts, and the fence will slide. It can be rotated a small
distance in either direction.
3. With a square, calibrate the fence at 90 degrees to the line of cut at the
0 degree quick stop and re-tighten the bolts.
Once the fence is square to the blade, the red miter degree indicator can
be adjusted to indicate the exact angle in the following way:
1. Loosen the philips head screw and re-set the indicator
to read exactly 0 degrees.
2. re-tighten the screw.
