MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, SWITCH MACHINE OFF AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE ADJUSTING, MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING YOUR SAW.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw. Use a dust extractor if possible, if not, frequently blow
out any dust that may accumulate inside the saw cabinet and the motor.
Inspect the power cable frequently. If it is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
NOTE: Do not use any of the following to clean this table saw: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents which contain ammonia.
A coat of wax applied to the table will help to keep the surface clean and allow wood being cut to slide
more freely.
CHANGING THE BLADE
•
Use only Clarke Blades,
(see parts list for part numbers).
•
Replace the blade when teeth become damaged or dull.
WARNING!
TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE
CHANGING BLADES.
TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN HANDLING SAW BLADES - THE TEETH ARE EXTREMELY SHARP, AND
CARELESSNESS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
Fig.33
1.
Remove the table insert.
2.
Raise the blade as far as possible, then
remove the blade guard.
It also helps to turn the blade angle
adjuster so as to lay the blade on its
side.
NOTE: From this point, take great care to
avoid contact with the tips of the saw
blade, preferably place a thick cloth
over the teeth, as shown in Fig 33.
3.
Undo the Blade securing nut, using the
two spanners provided, one to engage
with the flats on the outer flange, the
other to remove the nut.
4.
Replace the blade in reverse order, ensuring the teeth point down towards the table at the front,
and it sits snugly on the boss on the inner flange before replacing the outer flange and tightening
the securing nut.
