General Instructions for 230V Machines

Good Working Practices/Safety

The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.

WARNING!

KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT

OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

Primary Precautions

The machines are supplied with a moulded 16 Amp plug (AW10BSB2) and 16 Amp plug (AW12BSB2) with a

3 core power cable. Before using the machine inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible, have the damaged item inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person.

If it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will resist damage on site. Only use a 16 Amp plug, (AW10BSB2) and 16 Amp plug (AW12BSB2) and make sure the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that is required for your machine.

Primary Precautions

The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet. If the machine is to be used outside and it starts to rain, stop work and move it inside. If machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel.

DO NOT use 230V ac powered machines anywhere within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and do not trail extension cables across wet areas.

KEEP the machine clean; it will enable you to more easily see any damage that may have occurred.

CLEAN the machine with a damp soapy cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause damage to any plastic parts or to the electrical components.

KEEP the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material.

06

General Instructions for 230V Machines

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN

BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS

t is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended.

Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to commence work, remove any tools used in the setting operations and place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine.

It is also recommended that you use switched supply outlets.

Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool, drill bit, saw blade etc., is securely tightened in the machine, check you have the correct speed and function set, check that the cutting path of the timber is unobstructed, etc.

Most machines these days are fitted with NVR contact switches so that machines cannot remain inadvertently switched ‘ON’. However, it is a good habit to train yourself to check that the machine is not ‘switched on’ prior to connecting the mains supply, in case you happen to be using one of the older machines.

Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc.,

If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc., If the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine, likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a

‘snag’ hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc.

DO NOT work with cutting or boring machines of any description if you are tired, your attention is wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fingertip or worse; is not worth it!

DO NOT use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised machines for working in these areas,

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM .

CHECK that cutters, drills, blades etc., are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.

If possible always fit dust extraction to machines that are producing high rates of sawdust, shavings, chips etc. Above all, OBSERVE....

make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE YOUR COMMON

SENSE.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY THIS MACHINE IS

DESIGNED TO CUT TIMBER AND TIMBER

DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE FOR ANY

OTHER MATERIALS.

08


PLEASE RECYCLE ANY UNWANTED PACKAGING RESPONSIBLY

Saw Body Assembly

Having unpacked the boxes, put the parts and components where they are readily to hand. Break down the main box by knocking the sides away (be careful of exposed nails etc.) , but leave the machine sitting on its pallet. Identify the short rear panel with the dust extraction cutout (2) , locate the dust extraction moulding (4) and fit to the panel using the nuts and bolts (5) provided. (See fig 1) (The orientation of the moulding should leave the 30mm outlet pointing upwards i.e. pointing up the long length of the panel). Put the panel aside, and locate the lower leg columns (3) and 4 No. M8 x 20 (5A) bolts, nuts and double washers. Fix the lower legs to the upper legs using a washered bolt through the legs and secure with washer and nut, only turn the nuts up finger tight at this time. (See fig 2) Locate the rear extention table

(6) , table support brackets (7) , steel clamping plates (8) and 4 No. M8 x 20mm caphead bolts and washers (9) .

PLEASE NOTE: the manufacturer has fitted adjusting bolts to the brackets, these are the faces that back against the legs.

Offer the clamping plates (8) up to the inside face of the legs (3) , fasten the brackets using washered bolts

(9) through the bracket and the leg into the clamping plate. Tighten the bolts finger tight only at this time.

Fig 16

Locate the rear table (6) and the other 4 No. M8 caphead bolts and washers (9) . Mount the table onto the brackets, Note: that the securing bolts need to feed through the elongated holes in the bracket (7) , the rear extension table is spaced off the main table to allow clearance for the rear clamping rail and the rip fence. Leave all bolts finger tight at this time. (See figs 15-16)

Fig 13

Side Extension Table

Locate four M8 x 16mm hexhead bolts and washers.

Ensure the table is correctly orientated. Stand the back end of the side extension table (3A) on the floor, close to the front and edge of the main saw table (1) , with the underside of the table facing the front of the saw. Lift the table up and introduce a bolt and washer through the first hole in the table and screw it into the first threaded hole along the main table edge. Repeate for the remaining bolts.

Continues Over....


There is no requirement to remove the guard. The profile of the riving knife precludes the use of the saw for slotting or grooving, and the maximum depth of cut can be achieved with the guard in place.

NOTE: The positioning of the extraction hose could be a nuisance if you are cutting big boards, in such a case it is better to remove the hosing from the guard, then there is less risk getting the workpiece snagged and perhaps ‘slewing’ on the saw.

If you find the fence is not perpendicular to the blade loosen the three clamping bolts beneath the front rail, see fig 33 and manover the front rail until correct. Re-tighten the three clamping bolts. NOTE: Lubricate the fence rails and the underside of the rip fence clamp assembly (20) with a ptfe dry lubricant, so the fence assembly runs smoothly back and forth.

Setting the Mitre Fence

Fit the small mitre fence (11) to the machine. Loosen the clamping handle (A) .

NOTE: There are 3 preset positions available with the small mitre fence. +45˚ , 0˚ , and -45˚ , these are achieved using lugs in the casting and a push/pull pin against which the lugs are stopped. The pin has to be fully withdrawn to allow the fence to pivot from one side to the other.

Set the face to zero angle using the preset position.

Check that the angle is correct (and the lug is on the correct side of the pin). Check that the indexing pointer gives the correct reading against the scale.

Adjust the pointer if necessary. Check left and right positions. Check the pointer is still correct. If the preset positioning is wrong, set the fence with a square/mitre gauge, set the pointer accurately against the scale and clamp the fence in position without recourse to the presets. Remove the small mitre fence from the table and stow carefully aside.

Scale

Fit the small mitre fence (11) into the machines ‘T’ slot. Loosen the clamping handle (A) .

Check that the indexing pointer gives the correct reading against the scale.

Checking the Belt Tension

Check the belt tension, see figs 106-107, the belt should be tight, but not unduly so. Remove all tools and stow away. Check that the machine tables are clear. Lower the saw to leave about 25mm protruding, set the saw upright.

Connect the machine to the mains supply, lift the switch shroud and give the machine a quick burst. i.e. On/Off. Check that everything is sound and feels O.K. (No knocking, scraping, belt squeal, rubbing etc.,)

Give the machine a longer run, and ‘SLAP’ the Emergency switch shroud down. Check that this gives a fast and easy method of switching the machine off, without searching for the stop switch button.

When you are happy that everything seems O.K. switch the machine off, disconnect from the mains supply. Locate the two upper side panels and their fixing bolts and secure them in place.

Specific Instructions/Precautions for the Saw Bench

Make sure the saw blade is the correct type for the job in hand.

Do not force the saw, if the saw begins to stall you are forcing the cut or over working the saw.

Ensure that the saw blade is clean and sharp.

Resin build up on the blades will increase the friction of the saw passing through the timber, and cause over heating of the blade, blunt teeth will work harder tearing the fibre of the timber as opposed to shearing it, also with subsequent overheating. Both faults unnecessarily load the machine beyond normal usage, and shorten its longevity.

Do not use blades that are deformed in any way.

Do not remove the blade guard. The design of the riving knife on the machine will not allow for slotting or blind grooving, so there is no reason to remove the guard. There is adequate clearance under the guard for the capacity of the machine (75mm).

Do not remove the riving knife. Do not use any blades that cut a smaller kerf than the riving knife thickness.

Make sure the riving knife is correctly adjusted to the blade and is securely fastened.

If the table insert becomes damaged or broken, and will not support the timber ‘up close’ to the blade, replace it.

30

Do not start the saw with the workpiece touching the blade.

Do not commence sawing until the blade has run up to full speed.

After switching off, never try to slow the saw down more quickly by applying side pressure to the blade.

Apply the old joiner’s adage of never getting hands within one handbreadth of the blade.

Leave the machine disconnected from the mains supply until you are about to commence work. Always disconnect the machine if you are leaving it unattended.

Never leave the vicinity of the machine unless the blade has come to a complete stop.

Do not attempt to carry out any maintenance, corrective work, setting up etc., unless the machine is disconnected from the mains supply.

If any tools have been used during setting up procedures, make sure they are removed from the machine and stowed safely away.

Do not attempt to carry out cross cutting operations freehand, always use the mitre fence for small stuff and the sliding carriage for larger work pieces.

Unless you are an experienced machine operator, do not attempt to rip freehand, always use the guiding facility of the rip fence.

It is perfectly acceptable to support guide and feed the timber with your hands whilst ripping stuff of some length, however, as you approach

Specific Instructions/Precautions for the Saw Bench the blade ensure that the push stick is to hand, and you use it.

Remember the emphasis of the push should be between the blade and the fence and close to the fence. Use your free hand to support and guide the material on the offside of the saw blade and at least 100mm away from it. If the timber does not extend to at least 100mm to the offside of the saw blade, the material possibly? does not need guiding or supporting.

Check (especially on site), that there are no foreign objects e.g. old nails, screws, small stones etc embedded in the material you are about to cut. If necessary take a wire brush to the timber before working.

If you are being assisted whilst using the saw

(by a take off or support number, remember there is only one sawyer at a machine, and they stand in front of it. The assistant does not push, pull, guide etc., unless specifically asked or instructed to do so by the sawyer.

Operating Instructions

NOTE: Before using your table saw, go round and make sure everything is secure, down, that all tool, are cleared away from the work area.

CHECK the blade for sharpness, missing teeth, resin buildup, etc., clean if necessary CHECK the blade is securely clamped in place. (i.e. not loose).

WARNING!

Feeding Work by Hand

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED

IN THE WORK AREA AND KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT

OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

CONNECT A DUST EXTRACTION MACHINE TO THE SAW

Start up the saw, wait until it has reached full speed and slowly feed the timber through using both handles, (making sure to keep your hands well clear of the blade and using a push stick for small pieces) , until the timber is behind the riving knife. Switch off the saw, wait until the blade has come to a complete stop and remove the timber. (See figs 108-109).

Fig 108 Fig 109

NOTE: Secure larger pieces of timber to the table by using the clamp assembly (37) , see page 23.

Use the small flat surface of the fence (21) to cut thin timber narrower that 120mm. (Use a push stick).

Changing the Saw Blade

WARNING! DISCONNECT THE

MACHINE FROM THE MAINS!

Raise the saw blade to it’s highest point. Remove the saw blade guard. Remove the 5 screws that secure the table insert, place carefully aside and remove the table insert. (A) Using the spanner and the tommy bar provided, put the spanner onto the flats on the nut. Turn the saw until the tommy bar hole (B) is visible.

Insert the tommy bar (18) and turn the saw to allow it to rest against the front edge of the saw slot. The tommy bar hole is in the inside platewasher component. (See figs 110-111-112)

Slacken off the saw nut (remember left hand thread).

Remove the saw nut (C) , then remove the sawplate washer (D) and the saw blade. Now is a good time to give the interior of the machine, the dust extraction channels, etc. a thorough clean. (See figs 113-114)

Check the new blade for damage, missing teeth,sharpness etc. Fit the new blade, ensure that the teeth are pointing towards the front of the machine. (See fig 115) Put the sawplate washer onto the shaft and twist on the saw nut. Spin the nut up finger tight and check the saw is correctly seated.

Changing the Saw Blade

Tighten up the saw nut, using the tommy bar to hold the shaft steady. Check the riving knife is aligned with the saw blade, and correctly positioned. Replace the table insert and secure with the 5 screws. Replace the saw blade guard.

When everything is satisfactory, turn the saw blade once by hand to check it doesn’t foul anywhere.

Reconnect the machine to the mains supply.

Give the machine a ‘quick’ burst check ( i.e. quick

ON-OFF) to ensure everything is O.K. If everything is satisfactory, continue to use the machine. Check the old blade for sharpness, missing teeth, resin buildup, etc., clean if necessary and send for refurbishment/ resharpening if required. If the blade is not to be re-sharpened, clean and pack away in its stowage case.

Maintenance

Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust build up as is practical. Periodically, remove the saw gullet and vacuum out and clean out the saw box and the extraction housing. Remove any resin build up in the saw box, using a proprietary resin cleaner.

Remove the upper side panels and clean the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall and tilt mechanisms. At the same time check the belt drive, i.e. the belt is not ‘glazing’ with resin build up, likewise with the pulley wheels. Check the belt tension. If the belt (A) is becoming slack, loosen the motor hold down bolts (B) and drive the motor backward with its adjusting bolt (C) . (See figs 116-

117) Check the saw blade regularly for chipped, missing, damaged teeth etc. and remove any resin build up from the blade, riving knife etc.

If you have finished using the saw bench, clean above and below the work table and using a damp cloth wipe the saw bench over. If the saw bench is not going to be used for a period of time, use a rustproofing spray (see our catalogue), spray a light coat over the work table and place a dust sheet over the saw bench.
