VIBRATION

The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.

Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 61029:

Work mode description 1 Vibration emission value ah = 1.09m/s²

Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²

The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be used with the current guidance on vibration.

Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE website has further information.

The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another

The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:-

How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.

The tool being in good condition and well maintained

The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.

The tightness of the grip on the handles.

And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed

Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.

ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated

(where appropriate)

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

Health Surveillance

All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and help employees stay in work.

Dust extraction port

To reduce build up of saw dust and maintain top efficiency of cutting, the saw may be connected to a workshop vacuum cleaner via the dust outlet.

The outlet accepts 37mm inner diameter vacuum hose.

Alternatively saw dust collection can be achieved by clipping a dust bag on the dust extraction port.

A dust bag is provided for use on your mitre saw. To install it simply fit the dust bag over the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. See Fig2.

To empty the dust bag, remove from the dust exhaust port, open the dust bag by unzipping the slide fastener.

Note: To ensure optimal dust collecting, empty the dust bag when it becomes filled to approximately

2/3 of its capacity.

Table extension rod

To install table extension rod, insert ends of extensions into the holes in either or both sides of the base. Secure them in place by tightening clamp screws on the front face of base. See Fig3.

Vertical clamp

1. The vertical clamp can be fitted on either side of the saw and is fully adjustable to suit the size of the workpiece. See Fig4.

2. Do not operate the saw without clamping the workpiece.

Fig 4

3. Make sure that the vertical clamp securing screws are tightened. See Fig5.

Stop block (Fig6a and 6b)

The stop block is included with the table extensions and is useful as a stop for making repetitive cuts to the same length. It can be installed on either side of the saw base:

1. Fit the stop block over the table extension rod.

2. Insert the ends of extension rod into the holes in either side of the base, adjust the block to desired length and tighten the stop block securing screw.

3. Secure the extension rod by tightening the clamp screw on the front face of base.

4. Make a test cut in scrap material and measure the length of the workpiece.

5. Make any necessary adjustments.

Chop cut is used mainly for narrow pieces, i.e. the lock screw of slide rod is tightened and the head assembly is lowered to cut through the workpiece.

1. Connect the machine to power outlet ensure that the mains cable is clear of the blade and base plate.

2. Position the material to be cut on the rotating work support table, ensure it is firmly clamped so that it will not move during cutting.

3. Slide the cutting head to rear position as far as it will go and lock the slide rod by rotating the lock screw clockwise. See Fig11.

Ensure that the rotary table lock handle and head tilt clamp knob are tightened before cutting.

WARNING: Failure to tighten the lock screw can cause the blade to suddenly climb up on the top of workpiece and force itself toward you.

4. Push the safety button and press trigger and allow the saw blade to run up the speed.

5. Still holding in the trigger, using your forefinger simply press the safety release lever left. It will

then be feasible to push the saw head down by the handle. See Fig12.

6. Continue to move the saw head down smoothly and make the cut exerting only gentle pressure on the downward stroke, letting the saw do the work.

4. CROSS PULL CUT (Fig13)

Cross pull cut is used mainly for wide pieces,

Allowing you to cut wider pieces of wood, i.e. the slide rod lock screw is loose, the saw head is pulled towards the operator, the saw head is lowered to the workpiece and then pushed to the rear of saw to make a cut to do this, follow the procedures below:

1. Loosen the slide rod locking screw.

2. Before switching the unit on, pull the saw head towards you whilst in the upright position, until the blade clears the workpiece or to its maximum extension if blade can not clear the workpiece.

3. Start the saw.

4. Lower the saw head into the workpiece.

5. Push the saw head forwards (towards the full rear position) to complete the cut.

6.When cutting is finished release the trigger switch and allow the blade to stop rotating before lifting the saw head up away from the workpiece.

See Fig13.

WARNING: Never pull the saw towards you during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up on top of the workpiece and force itself towards you.

5. MITRE CUT (Fig14 and 15)

A mitre cut is made at 0 o bevel and any mitre angle in the range from 45 o left to 45 o right. It can be made as either a chop cut or a cross pull cut depending on the width of the workpiece.

The table can be turned 45 from the normal crosscut 0 o o both left and right

position to make a mitre cut.

For most convenient operation, your sliding mitre saw is equipped with mitre detents for fast and accurate mitre cuts of common mitre angles

(Left:45 o ,30 o ,22.5

6. bEVEL CUT USING THE HEAD TILT (Fig16)

A bevel cut is made at 0 O mitre and any bevel angle in the range of 0O to 45 O . It can be made as either a chop cut or a cross pull cut depending on the width of the workpiece.

The saw can be moved from the normal 90 O perpendicular position to an angled position down to 45 O from the horizontal, on the left only.

Loosen the clamping knob and tilt the saw head to the left, until the desired angle is reached on the bevel scale. Re-tighten the clamping knob and make your cut.

7. COMPOUND CUT (Fig17)

A compound cut is a cut requiring both a mitre setting and a bevel setting. It can be made as either a chop cut or a cross pull cut depending on the width of workpiece.

Compound mitre cuts can be achieved by setting both the mitre and bevel angles simultaneously, refer to Fig15 and 16.

Follow the procedures for mitre and bevel cuts to achieve the desired angles.

8. SETTING THE CUTTING DEPTH (Fig18)

The maximum cutting depth of the blade must be set to make sure that it does not come into contact with the bed of the saw.

1. Lower the cutting arm as far as it will go and hold it down on the stop.

2. Lock the head tilt champing knob in the 0 O position.

3. Securely tighten the mitre angle locking knob and the slide rod locking screw, refer to Fig11.

4. Rotate the blade by hand to make sure that it moves freely.

5. The correct blade depth should allow for the blade to be 10mm below the upper level of the kerf plate at the fence position. See Fig18.

6. If the blade is not in this position, it should be adjusted as follows.

7. Undo the lock nut and turn the blade depth adjusting screw until the blade is 10mm below the upper level of the kerf plate. See Fig19.

8. Screw the adjusting screw in, if the blade needs to be raised.

9. Screw the screw out, if the blade needs to be

lowered.

3. If it is not parallel with the partial cut, loosen the laser generator retaining screw see Fig24 and rotate the laser generator until the beam is parallel with the partial cut.

4. Retighten the laser generator retaining screw.

5. You can also adjust the laser beam laterally by loosening the two screws holding the laser generator, move the laser generator to the required position and retighten the screw.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before making any adjustment, maintenance to the saw, make sure that it is disconnected from mains supply.

When all the adjustments, settings or maintenance have been done, make sure that all keys and wrenches have been removed and that all screws, bolts and other fittings are securely tightened.

1. PRECISION SETTING OF ANGLES

While the machine has been factory set, it is advisable that the 0

O

setting of the rotary table

and the 90 O perpendicular setting of the tilt be checked, as these positions may have moved in transit.

To confirm the 0 O rotary table setting, set the rotary table at 0 O and tighten the rotary table lock handle. Check that the angle between the straight guide and the blade is 90 O using a try square (A, not supplied). If the angle requires adjustment, loosen four straight guide clamp screws (as shown in Fig25) and align the straight guide against the try square. Re-tighten the clamp screws.

Similarly, check that the angle of the blade to the face of table in 90 O . See Fig26. If it is not vertical, use a suitable slotted screwdriver, loosen nut on 90 O setscrew, (shown in Fig20), incline head slightly and then wheel the screw to adjust.

The 45 O bevel can also be adjusted with a 45 O set square or mitre gauge, (B in Fig27, not supplied), to check the 45 O angle. If required, adjust the 45 O set screw (Fig27) to set the correct stop position, then tighten the lock nut.

Note: The position of bevel scale pointer may have moved in transit or after use. Use screwdriver to adjust it if necessary.

2. CHANGING THE SAW bLADE

Disconnect the saw from the power supply.

Remove the screw on lower left of guard mounting plate and lose the screw on upper right of mounting plate, do not unscrew the screw completely; Then swing the retractable safety guard to the rear, press the spindle lock button rotate the blade until it is locked; Then loosen and remove the blade securing bolt, and outer flange with the socket wrench provided.
