ADJUSTMENT OF SAW BLADE
■
Then loosen the indicator fixing screw, set the
indicator of the scale on the “ 0º ” marked then tighten
the fixing screw.
■
After the 90º of the blade has been adjusted turn the
tilting handle to the 45º (Fig. 14) side and adjust the
45º angle by loosening the lock nut on the right side
of the tilting handle mechanism, while positioning the
square against the blade.
■
Turn the adjustment nut so that the blade is on the
45º position and then tighten the lock nut.
OPERATION ON/OFF MAGNETIC SWITCH (2)
(FIG. 15)
Press the ‘ON’ button to start the machine.
Press the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
WARNING
Before turning the machine ON, make sure the
blade guard is correctly installed and operating
properly.
OVERLOAD RESET BUTTON (FIG. 15)
Your Performance Power table saw features an overload
reset button (14). In the event that your saw turns off
during operation, turn the saw off and allow the motor to
cool down for approximately 3 minutes. Push the reset
button and attempt to turn the saw on again. If the saw
does not turn on, turn the switch off and check all cords
for proper connection and retry. If it turns on and then
cuts off while you are working, you may be trying to feed
the workpiece too quickly or may be operating with a dull
blade or may be trying to operate on a circuit providing
insufficient voltage.
ELEVATING HANDLE
Elevating handle is used to raise and lower the blade.
Turn it clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise it
(Fig. 16).
TILTING HANDLE
The tilting handle is used to tilt the blade for bevel cutting.
Turn it clockwise to tilt toward the left and counter-
clockwise to tilt toward the right.
MITRE GAUGE (9)
The head is locked in the desired position for crosscutting
or mitre cutting by tightening the lock handle. Always lock
it securely when in use.
CROSSCUTTING
Crosscutting is cutting wood across the grain at 90° or
square with both the edge and the flat side of the wood
(Fig. 18).
This is done with the mitre gauge set at “0”. Before using it,
make sure it is locked (10). The mitre gauge can be used
on either of the grooves in the table, by doing that,
remove the screw at the rear end in the groove,
reassemble it afterward.
MITRE CROSSCUTTING
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the wood at an angle other
than 90° with the edge of the wood (Fig. 19). Follow the
same procedures as you would for crosscutting.
Adjust the saw blade to the desired angle.
BEVEL CUTTING
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except
that the wood is also cut at an angle other than 90° with
the flat side of the wood (Fig. 20). Adjust the blade to the
desired angle. Use the mitre gauge in the groove
to the right side of the blade so the blade guard will
not interfere.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
Compound mitre cutting is a combination of mitre cutting
and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at an angle other
than 90° to both the edge and the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to the desired angle
and be sure that the mitre gauge is locked (Fig. 21).
REPETITIVE CUTTING
Repetitive cutting is cutting a number of pieces the same
length without having to mark each piece. Do not feed the
workpiece with your hand (Fig. 22). Guide it making sure
that it does not bind or pinch the saw blade (Fig. 23).
Never use the rip fence as a length stop because the
cutoff piece could bind between the fence and the blade
causing a kickback.
