Operation
Proper Position of Operator
!
WARNING
Never stand directly in line with the saw
blade when feeding material. Failure to do
so may bring injury to the operator.
Although the machine is equipped with two
rows of anti-kickback fingers this does not
eliminate the danger of material kickback. For
this reason it is very important for the operator
to be aware of the position of the saw blade
and never stand directly in line with it while
feeding. For safety the operator must stand
off to the side. See figure 13. Line ‘A’
represents the line of the saw blade.
Pre-Start
1. Check for proper oil level in lubricator
reservoir.
Figure 13
2. Remove any article from the machine
table and ensure the blade is free and
clear.
3. Position the carriage height according to
the material to be run through and lock
into place.
4. Position the fence accordingly and lock
into place.
5. Turn dust collection on.
Start
1. The emergency stop button (A, Figure 14)
should be in the ‘out’ position. To check
this, give it a half turn to the right.
2. The power indicator light (B, Figure 14)
should be illuminated.
3. Push the saw blade on button (E, Figure
14).
4.
Push the conveyor start button (D, Figure
14).
Note
:
The conveyor will not start until the
saw blade is running first. This is a safety
feature to prevent feeding material into a
blade that is not spinning thus damaging
the machine.

5. Begin feeding stock
6. Be aware of warped or cupped material
and feed into the machine accordingly.
Cups and concave surfaces should be
facing down.
