TO ADJUST THE HEAD AND TABLE ANGLES
Ensure the saw is unplugged from mains.
Refer to the illustration page 2.
The unit can saw horizontally and diagonally at any angle
up 45 degrees or a combination of these.
The degree scales are for indication only
For accurate angles test the set angle by sawing a piece of
scrap first, measuring and adjusting the saw as required.
To adjust the angles proceed as follows:
•
The head angle is adjusted by reference to the degree
scale on the rear of the head bracket.
To adjust the head angle
Slacken the rotary knob (11) at the rear of the head
bracket and set the head to the angle required. Tighten
the rotary knob to secure.
To adjust the head angle stop screws
The stop screws have been adjusted in the factory to
stop the head at a 45 and 90 degrees angle.
•
To adjust, slacken the lock bolt on the head adjust-
ment screw and turn the set screw with a suitable
5mm Allen wrench to stop the head at the angle
required, tighten the lock bolt after adjustment.
•
Check for accuracy with setsquare or protractor and
set the red indicator to read correctly on the degree
scale.
To adjust the table angle
Slacken the rotating handgrip (9) depress the lock button
(10) with your thumb and turn the saw head to the desi-
red angle, which is indicated on the degree scale on saw
base.
To adjust proceed as follows:
•
Tighten the rotating handgrip to lock.
•
The fence is secured by two 6mm Allen bolts, it can
be adjusted to exactly 90 degrees with the saw blade.
•
Slacken the two 6mm Allen bolts securing the fence
with a suitable Allen wrench.
•
Rotate the saw head downwards and measure the
angle between the blade and fence with a setsquare,
adjust the fence to exactly 90o with the blade and
retighten the bolts firmly.
BEFORE USING THE SAW
Ensure the saw is unplugged from mains.
•
Check the voltage on the saw corresponds with your
power supply voltage and that the plug and lead are in
good condition.
•
Check you have a blade suitable for the saw and the
material being cut and that it is in good condition and
secure. If any teeth are missing or the blade shows
cracks or other damage -replace immediately.
•
Do not use parts other than supplied with the
machine to make the blade fit properly.
•
The blade must conform to EN-847-1 and be of the
correct dimensions, see technical data section.
•
Turn the saw blade by hand to see that it turns freely
in all head/table positions – if the blade touches any
part of the table, fence or guards the saw must be
readjusted before use. Recheck with the head in the
45o position
•
Check all adjusting screws are secure
•
Run the saw idle for 30 seconds - if there is any abnor-
mal vibration or other fault – switch off, inspect and
rectify before continuing
