General Instructions for 230V Machines

The following 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 REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE

ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.

Mains Powered Tools

• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.

• Inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified person.

• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.

Workplace

• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere within a site area that is flooded.

• Keep machine clean.

• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to commence.

• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable. 6

Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool is securely tightened in the machine and the correct speed and function set.

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

Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.

If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.

Consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches.

Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear etc.

If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are suitably qualified to use it.

Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted

Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile gases.

Check cutters are 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.

OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.

Specific Instructions for Table Saws

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.

After switching off, never try to slow the saw down more quickly by applying side pressure (with a piece of wood?) 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

USE THE SUPPLIED PUSH STICK

WHEN CUTTING SMALL PIECES.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY NEVER OPERATE

THE TABLE SAW WITHOUT THE RIVING KNIFE

IN PLACE!

Do not remove the riving knife.

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. Do not attempt to ‘rip’ freehand, always use the guiding facility of the rip fence.

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.

It is perfectly acceptable to support guide and feed the timber with your hands whilst ripping stuff of some length, however, as you approach the blade ensure that the push stick is to hand, and you use it.

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.

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.

Do not start the saw with the work piece touching the blade.

WARNING! IF THE SAW JAMS!

SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELY.

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

Check 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.

NOTE: If adjustment is required loosen the four Hex screws on the fence clamping assembly and lightly tap the end of the fence rail until the marker reads ‘zero’ on the scale, see

77. Re-secure once correct. Check the tables are still level by placing a straight edge across the front edge and adjust until correct.

3-8mm

NOTE: Use the 19mm ‘T’ slot to the right side of the saw blade as a reference to check the fence (E) is parallel, see fig

78. Regularly check the fence is parallel to ensure a perfect cut.

2. The rip fence extension can be repositioned from the vertical to a horizontal position for guiding thin pieces through. Loosen the two butterfly knobs holding the fence extension, remove, lay the fence extension down in the horizontal position and remount the fence extension as before, see fig 79-80. Move the extension down until the end face is centred with the blade and tighten the two butterfly knobs.

Set Up and Adjustment

Adjusting the Pivot

Release the locking knob to the centre of the operating wheel

(a) to the side of the saw assembly and turn clockwise to pivot the saw to a maximum of 45˚ degrees, indicated on the scale, see fig 82-83-84.

Fig 82-83-84 a

Saw pivot scale

Operating Instructions

NOTE: BEFORE USING YOUR SAW, GO

ROUND AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING

IS SECURE, FASTENED DOWN, THAT ALL

TOOLS ARE CLEARED AWAY FROM THE

WORK AREA!

N

NOTE: Secure larger pieces of timber to the table by using the hold down clamp.

CHECK: THE BLADE FOR SHARPNESS,

MISSING TEETH, RESIN BUILD UP ETC.,

CLEAN IF NECESSARY. CHECK THE BLADE

IS SECURELY CLAMPED IN PLACE (I.E. NOT

LOOSE)!

Cutting Narrow Pieces

Use the small flat surface of the rip fence extension (F) to cut thin timber narrower that 120mm, note: use a push stick.

CONNECT A DUST EXTRACTION

MACHINE TO THE SAW.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD

CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN THE WORK AREA

AND KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF

REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN!

The Optional Mitre Fence

The mitre fence (32) can be mounted on either side of the saw blade in the two 19mm ‘T’ slots, pre machined into the cast iron table. The mitre fence can be angled from 90˚ to 45˚ degrees, see fig 88-89-90.

Fig 88-89-90

CONNECT THE SAW 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, the table saw is ready for use.

Feeding the Work by Hand

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 fig 85-86-87.

5. Tighten up the ‘Nut’, using the blade locking bar (O) to hold

3. Hold the locking bar (O) undo and remove the nut using the

24mm spanner (P), see fig 95-96. Remove the saw plate washer

(b) and the saw blade and place to one side, see fig 97-98.

4. Give the interior of the machine, the dust extraction channels, etc. a thorough clean. 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.

Put the saw plate washer onto the shaft and replace the ‘Nut’ until finger tight and check the saw is correctly seated.

25 the shaft steady. Check the riving knife is aligned with the saw blade, and correctly positioned. Replace the table insert and secure with the cross head screws. Replace the crown guard.

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

6. Reconnect the machine to the mains supply. Give the machine a ‘quick’ burst (i.e. quick ON-OFF) check to ensure everything is O.K. If everything is satisfactory, continue to use the machine.

Maintenance

Fig 99-100

1. Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust build up as is practical. Periodically, remove the saw gullet by removing the side access panel to the side of the machine and undo the two

Hex screws on either side of the gullet, see fig 99-100. 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.

Motor Hex bolts

2. Clean the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall and tilt mechanisms, see fig 101. 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, see fig 102. If the belt is becoming slack, loosen the motor Hex bolts and push the motor down, see fig 103. Re-tighten the Hex bolts.

Fig 101-102-103

3. Check the saw blade regularly for chipped, missing, damaged teeth etc. and remove any resin build up from the blade, riving knife etc, see fig 104.

Fig 104

26

4. If you have finished using the saw bench, clean above and below the work table, wipe the saw bench over. If the saw is not going to be used for a period of time, use ‘Ambersil Dry PTFE

Film Antistick’, spray, code 952137 over the work table, blade, tilt and rise and fall screw threads and place a dust sheet over the saw bench.
