ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE
When installed to the machine, the rip fence should be
checked to ensure that it lies parallel to the blade.
Raise the blade to its full height.
Rest a straight-edge or similar against the blade.
Bring the rip fence up to the straight-edge and check
if it is parallel.
If adjustment is needed, loosen the two hex headed
screws located on the rip fence (Fig.34) using a
suitable wrench, and adjust the fence as required.
Tighten and re-check the rip fence when correct
alignment has been achieved.
Lower the blade.
INSTALLING THE MITRE GAUGE
To attach the face plate of the mitre gauge slide the
attachment screws through the two holes in mitre
gauges vertical face and secure in place with the
thumb nuts (Fig. 35).
The mitre gauge is usually employed on the left hand
side of the table and runs in an inverted T slot in the
table top.
INSTALLING THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE
Attach one end of the hose to the blade guard and
place the other end to the pipe on the back of the
machine, Fig.36. A vacuum cleaner or workshop dust
extraction device can be connected to the extraction
port found at the rear of the machine if required
MOVING THE TABLE SAW
Warning! Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply and that the power cord is
securely stored on the machine.
Release the latching pin.
Grasp the transportation handle (Fig.37).
Gently and slowly lift the handle, allowing the machine
to maintain balance and stability.
Wheel the machine to its new location.
OPERATIONS
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH (FIG.38)
Warning!
Before operating the ON/OFF switch make
sure that the blade guard is correctly installed and
operating properly.
The saw can be switched on by pressing the green
pushbutton ‘I’.
The red pushbutton ‘0’ has to be pressed to switch off
the saw.
Warning! Never start the machine until all safety
checks and procedures have been carried out.
RAISING/LOWERING THE BLADE (FIG.39)
Warning!
Only make adjustments to the machine
when the machine is switched OFF and the blade is
stationary.
Note: This machine is equipped with a dual function
handwheel. In its ‘normal’ (outer) position the hand-
wheel is used to raise or lower the blade. When the
hand-wheel is pushed in against its bias spring it
engages with the curved toothed rack incorporated in
the machines main body. This allows the handwheel
to be used to adjust the tilt/bevel angle of the blade.
To raise or lower the blade:
Ensure that the hand-wheel is in its ‘normal’ position.
Turn counter clockwise to lower the blade.
Turn clockwise to raise the blade.
TILTING THE BLADE
Loosen the bevel locking knob.
Push the hand-wheel in against its bias spring until it
engages with the tilt rack.
Use the hand-wheel to set the required angle. An
angle gauge to aid setting can be found behind the
hand-wheel.
Tighten the bevel locking knob when the required
angle is achieved.
Allow the hand-wheel to return to its ‘normal’ position.
RIP FENCE
This machine is fitted with a two piece rip fence. We
recommend that the rip fence is normally used in
conjunction with its adjustable face plate.
The rip fence should normally be positioned to the
right hand side of the blade. It is locked in position by
using the locking lever.
Push down to lock, and pull up to unlock.
Forwards and backwards adjustment of the rip fence
face plate is possible. Loosen the finger nuts and slide
the rip fence face plate to the desired position.
Tighten the wing nuts securely (Fig.40).
We recommend you adjust and align the back of the
rip fence face plate level with the front of the saw
blade (Fig.41).
DUAL READ SCALE
This machine has a dual read scale that shows the
distance from the blade to the rip fence through a
viewing window. This can be used to aid setting the
cutting distance from the blade to the rip fence. With
the rip fence face plate attached, use the black scale
to set the distance of the rip fence. If you should need
to use the rip fence without the face plate, use the
orange scale.
