OPERATION
1. THE HOLD DOWN CLAMP
(See )
Two sockets (one either side) are
incorporated into the rear of the
machines fence. These sockets are
for positioning the Hold Down Clamp.
1) Fit the clamp to the retaining
socket that best suits the cutting
application, ensuring that it is fully
pushed down.
2) Tighten the fence thumbscrew to
lock the pillar of the clamp into the
fence socket.
3) Place the workpiece to be cut
onto the saw table, against the
fence and in the desired position.
4) Adjust the clamp using the
thumbscrews and hand-wheel
so that it securely holds the
workpiece to the saw table.
Conduct a ‘dry run’ with the power
disconnected. Ensure that the Hold
Down Clamp does not interfere with
the path of the blade, or with the path
of any other part of the Cutting Head
as it is lowered.
