Running and adjusting the machine.
Cleaning the machine.
The machine is shipped with the none painted surfaces protected from rust by a
film of grease.
The grease must be removed with WD40 or similar, as it attracts saw dust and dirt.
The surfaces should then be coated with a Teflon lubricant or similar. Teflon tends
to dry and will not attract saw dust and dirt.
Test Run.
Now that the assembly is complete it
is time to conduct a test run.
During the test run you will check the
following points.
1.
Motor starts and runs smoothly.
2.
That the stop button, function
correctly.
Before you run the machine check
the following.
1.
All the tools have been removed
from the machine.
2.
That the guard is in place.
3.
You are wearing the appropriate
safety equipment.
5.
You have read and understood the instruction manual.
Note.
If any of the below functions fail to operate correctly, the fault must be
corrected prior to continuing to the next test. Any investigation to find or correct a
fault must be conducted with the power disconnected.
1.

2.
Start the machine by pressing the green start button.
The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibration.

machine fails to start, check that the stop button is re-set in the out position.
Adjustments.
Note.
The machine has had all its functions calibrated at the factory but due to
shipping conditions some movement may have taken place. This is unavoidable
and it is therefore recommended that the following checks are made prior to
starting production. As the machine is used some functions may move and it is
therefore good practice to know the process for adjusting the machine prior to
production.
