Rip Fence Guide
DO NOT tighten the Rip Fence Support Bracket securing knob - leave it loose so that the Support, with the Rip Fence assembly, may slide along the Guide Bar.
Because the rip fence moves along the guide, towards the saw blade, it is essential to ensure that it is positioned so that it will not come into contact with the blade.
Before starting therefore, move the complete rip fence assembly along the guide to check the rip fence position in relation to the saw blade. If necessary, undo the two hand wheels, securing the rip fence to the quadrant, and re-locate the rip fence ensuring there will be no contact between the fence and the saw blade.
Tighten the hand wheels when satisfied.
Place the work against the Rip Fence, line up the cut, and, with the machine running, proceed to cut by sliding the Rip Fence, with the work, along the Guide Bar in the direction of the arrow, as shown in fig 10.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT :
All maintenance and adjustments must be carried out with the machine switched OFF, and the power cable disconnected from the mains supply.
1. General
Maintenance is limited to:
• Ensuring the saw blade is kept sharp at all times.(Failure to do so could damage the motor).
• Changing the saw blade when necessary (see below).
• Maintaining adjustments (as explained on page 15).
• Ensuring that after each use you clean away any sawdust or wood chips with a low pressure air line or brush. This includes the inside of the Lower Blade Guard
Box.
