TECHNICAL DATA OF CIRCULAR-SAW:
Saw blade 7 3/8" dia. with 5/8" bore, 3/64" thick,
Coarse-pitch blade for rip-sawing
Medium-pitch blade for rip-sawing and cross-cutting
Fine-pitch blade for cross-cutting
Speed of 1500 r.p.m. produces a cutting speed of 50 ft./sec.
Speed of 3000 r.p.m. produces a cutting sp�ed of 103 ft./sec.
Table size 14 3/4" x 12", table cants up to 45
°
Rise and fall of table = 2 3/8"
Max depth of cut: 2-5/32"
Max width of cut without fence I imited by saw arm: 7-31/64"
Max width of cut using fence: 6-11/16"
Max width of slot cut by wobble saw: 33/64"
REMOVAL OF CIRCULAR-SAW BLADE:
Tilt the machine to the "circular-saw" position.
If the saw blade is to be changed, the table must first be raised
to its highest position.
Turning the handwheel M 6. 13 (Photo KS l) clockwise raises
the table, while turning the handwheel anti-clockwise lowers
the table.
The table will have attained its highest position when noticeable
resistance is encountered to rotation of the handwheel.
To illustrate the further operations required when changing the
saw blade more clearly (Photo KS 2) shows the circular saw
section of the Emco-Star with the saw table removed. First
take off the cover plate and saw arm. This is done by unscrewing
the two M 6. 00-37 nuts by means of the tubu I or box spanner
M 6. 00-30; the cover can then be removed (Photo KS 3), and
the saw blade is exp-osed.
