Adjusting the main sawblade M500EL
Adjusting height (Fig.5B and 5C)
Changing the height of the main sawblade can be done with the help of push buttons.(4 and 5).
To recover the backlash of the transmission; always adjust the height of the blade in <<up>> mode.
Adjusting the inclination of the saw unit (Fig. 5B and 5C)
The inclination of the main sawblade can be done with help of push buttons.(6) The inclination of the
saw unit is visualized on the indicator or on the digital screen (9) for the machines equipped with this
part. The saw unit can be inclined in angles of 45 and 90° and at those two points, there are
mechanical stops provided by the factory.
Blocking the sliding table
(Fig.14)
-
The sliding table can be blocked in two positions and with one block-system. This is vital for
example by loading of the boards or cutting along the parallel guide. The system is located on the
front-side of the sliding table. Pull the button (1) in your direction and turn to the right to liberate
the table. Pull the sliding table till end, the table will be blocked automatically when arriving in the
exact position. Continue this way to start working.
-
When several movements are repeated consecutively, it is possible that the bearing cage
between the two profiles moves a little bit. We can note this as well by a reducing travelling
distance of the sliding table. To proceed and achieve the normal travelling distance of the sliding
table, you can adapt the position of the bearing cage: simply push the table with a few short, light
pushes against the buffer stop at the end of the sliding table until the position of the ball carrier is
adjusted and the table can be moved again along its full stroke.
Attention: cleaning and maintenance of the sliding table
It is vital to regularly blow away the saw- and other dust, collected between the sliding table
and the bearing cage. Push the sliding table to the end, to get a better reach towards the rails,
the bearing cage and gliding tracks. Oil serves to lubricate the sliding rails and is an extra
guarantee of good use and function.
