Rip Fence and Mitre Guide
4.6.1.
Install the rip fence by locating in the channel at the base of the table.
The fence locks in place by pressing the handle downwards (fig.8)
4.6.2.
To set the fence,set the cursor in the glass to the right of the handle
against the scale.
4.6.3.
The mitre guide locates in either of the channels pressed into the
base. Adjust the length of the fence by loosening the 2 lock screws
and slide to the required length before tightening the screws.
4.6.4.
Set the angle by loosening the angle lock, measuring the required
angle against the protractor and tightening the angle lock.
4.7.
Dust Extraction
4.7.1.
It is recommended that a commercial vacuum cleaner is used to
provide dust extraction for this saw table.
4.7.2.
An extraction port is provided to the rear of the machine (fig.9).
Coupling a suitable vacuum cleaner via a suitable adaptor will
help keep the work area clean and reduce airborne dust.
4.8.
Push Stick
4.8.1.
The push stick (supplied) may be mounted on the side of the machine
when not in use. The clip should be fastened to the side if the machine
using 2 screws provided.
5.1.
Switching On and Off
WARNING! Ensure that the saw table is clear of debris and
tools before operating the saw.
5.1.1.
Connect the machine to the electric supply.
5.1.2.
Switch on by means of the ”on” (I) switch and allow to run up to
speed before use.
5.1.3.
Switch off by pressing the “Off” (O) switch. This stands proud of the switch casing for emergency use.
5.1.4.
The saw is fitted with a no-voltage-release switch: if the electric supply fails whilst the machine is running, it will not restart until the
“on” switch is pressed.
5.1.5.
The saw is fitted with an overload circuit breaker. Should this trip, wait until the motor has cooled down and press the reset button
(fig.2.10) to reset the circuit breaker.
5.2.
Blade Adjustment
5.2.1.
To adjust the depth of cut, wind the blade depth adjustment (fig.2.11) anticlockwise to increase and vice-versa.
5.2.2.
To adjust the blade angle, wind the blade up fully as in 5.2.1. and loosen the bevel lock (fig.2.12) and adjust the angle by turning the bevel
adjustment (fig.2.13). The angle set can be read from the bevel scale (fig.2.14).
5.2.3.
When the required angle has been set, tighten the bevel lock.
5.3.
Making Longitudinal Cuts
Important:
After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a trial cut in order to check the set dimensions. After switching on the
saw, wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed of rotation before commencing a cut. Take extra care when starting a cut.
5.3.1.
Longitudinal cuts involve cutting through a workpiece along its full length.
5.3.2.
One edge of the workpiece is pressed against the rip fence while its flat side rests on the table top.
5.3.3.
The saw blade guard must always be in place and be adjusted to cover the workpiece.
5.3.4.
When making longitudinal cuts, always stand to one side of the cutting line.
5.3.5.
Set the rip fence to suit the required width using the rip fence rule (fig.1.3) at the front of the table.
5.3.6.
Switch on the saw.
5.3.7.
With fingers together, place hands flat on the workpiece and push it along the fence into the saw blade.
5.3.8.
Guide the workpiece at the side with your left hand only as far as the front edge of the guard hood.
5.3.9.
Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife.
5.3.10.
Leave the offcuts on the saw table until the saw blade has stopped.
5.3.11.
Secure a long workpiece against sagging at the end of the cutting operation by using a roller stand such as Sealey part no: RS5 or
similar.
5.3.12.
Use the push stick for guiding the workpiece if hand gets to within 125mm of the saw blade.
5.4.
Cutting a Narrow Workpiece
5.4.1. Longitudinal cuts in a workpiece smaller than 125mm width must always be made with the help of the push stick.
5.4.2. Longitudinal cuts in an extremely narrow workpiece with a width of 30mm or less must always be made with the help of a
push block. A push block can be made from an offcut piece of wood.
5.6.
Making Bevel Cuts
5.6.1. Always use the fence when cutting bevels.
5.6.2. Set the saw blade to the required angle as in 5.2.2.
5.6.3. Set the fence to suit the width of the workpiece.
5.6.4. Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece width.
5.6.5. Use the push stick for guiding the workpiece if hand gets to within 125mm of the saw blade.
5.9.
Using the Mitre Gauge and making cross cuts
5.9.1. Slide the mitre gauge (fig.1.4) into one of the two slots on the saw table top .
5.9.2. Slacken the knurled knob on the mitre gauge, adjust mitre gauge until the arrow points to the required angle, tighten the knurled knob.
5.9.3. Press the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge and switch on the saw.
5.9.4. Push the mitre gauge and the workpiece together towards the saw blade in order to make the cut.
