FEATURES
The Contractors Saw may be used for rip cutting or cross cutting timber up to 90mm (3½”) in
depth. The Table extension provides support for extra long pieces.
A double height Rip Fence is provided and may be secured at any desired position for quick
and accurate rip sawing.
For speed and accuracy, a guide is also provided for cross cutting. It is adjustable so that mitres
of up to 60° may be created.
The Upper Blade Guard is hinged to allow it to ride over the timber as the timber moves over the
blade.
IMPORTANT:
The Blade Guard must always be in place.
The Lower Blade Guard comprises a box, on to which is mounted the motor and saw blade. A
removable cover gives access to the blade and other components.
IMPORTANT:
This cover must always be in place and secure.
The box is secured by two large Lower Blade Guard Securing knobs. Slackening these knobs
allows the complete box, with motor and blade, to move so that the blade may tilt by up to 45°
- in one direction. It is then secured in position by tightening the same knobs.
Extending from the front end of the box is a handle, used for raising and lowering the blade and
is explained under ‘Operation’.
At the bottom of the box, a sawdust extraction outlet is provided. If required it can be connected
to a dust extraction device which will provide fast and efficient removal of sawdust. The dust
extractor may be used continuously or intermittently depending upon your requirements.
A pair of handles at the front end and a pair of wheels at the rear end allow the saw to be
moved quickly and effortlessly around the workshop.
Construction of the table is in heavy, corrosion resistant, galvanised steel. The machine is
nevertheless designed for indoor use. Should it be used outdoors, every attempt should be made
to ensure it is protected from the elements. Do not use in wet conditions.
A push stick and push block are also provided.
