Using the Hold-Down Clamps
When cutting large or awkward pieces in any of
the Sliding Table modes, you should secure your
workpiece using the hold-down clamps.
Swing the fence
clamps around until
the hold-down feet
0verhang the
workpiece. With the
fence locked, lower
the feet until they
press firmly on the
workpiece by
spinning the thumb wheels clockwise (Fig. 8).
Attaching Fixtures to the Fence
Two additional flange nuts have been provided in
Fastener Bag 1 for attaching fixtures or sub-fences
to the rip fence. Rotate the fence clamps so the rear
is level with the front face of the rip fence. Insert
the flange nuts into the slots (Fig. 9) and attach your
fixture using M6 bolts (not supplied).
OPERATING - Table Locked
Lock the table using the front and rear locking
latches and fit the rip fence (Fig. 10). Set your
width by
sighting the
scales down
the front
face of the
fence.
Ensure the
fence is
always set
parallel to
the blade.
Turn the
hold-down
clamps around so they don’t overhang the
workpiece.
Ensure that the overhead guard is lowered onto the
workpiece. Press the sheet against the fence at all
times. When ripping large sheets the plastic skids
at the ends of the inner track will provide additional
support. For very large workpieces the Triton Multi-
stands, (Fig.11) are better suited, otherwise have
someone assist you.
When ripping thin workpieces you may need to fit
an edge support (Inset - Fig. 11) against the rip
fence, to prevent the corner of the workpiece from
dipping into the table openings.
MK3 Workcentres:
to rip in the 260mm - 380mm
range, clamp a 1200mm long x 200mm wide packer
to the extension table fence, using the hold-down
clamps. When setting the desired width, remember
to add 200mm.
OPERATING - Table Sliding
• Always slide the extension table the full length of
the tracks before making your cut. Check that the
rip fence clears the saw blade, and does not hit or
ride up on the Workcentre table. Check that the
sliding table does not rock on its tracks. Adjust
the outer track height if necessary.
• Use the hold-down clamps whenever possible.
Crosscutting
Position the rip fence (Fig. 12). When tightening the
clamps, ensure that the fence is pulled fully toward
the outer edge of the table, for absolute squareness.
For gauging lengths up to 1220mm, you can align
the end of the workpiece with the required scale
reading. For longer workpieces, touch the fence tip
