SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING MACHINERY WARNING: As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result. 1. READ and BECOME FAMILIAR with the entire operating manual.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before switching on. 12. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication. 13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper accessories could be hazardous. 14. NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power OFF. Do not leave machine until it comes to a complete stop. 15.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for MITRE SAWS 1. Wear safety goggles as protection against flying wood chips and saw dust. In many cases, a full face shield is even better protection. A dust mask is also recommended to keep saw dust out of your lungs. 2. Use a solid wood workbench which will not move under load. 3. This saw is for indoor, DIY or medium trade use only. 4. Clear the work table of all objects except the workpiece (tools, scraps, rulers etc.) before switching on the saw. 5.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
PRINCIPAL PARTS OF THE SAW Fig.1 Fig.
FEATURES As its’ name implies, the machine is a Bevel/Mitre Saw, capable of straight cross cutting, and cutting bevels and mitres, or a combination of the two. The main arm, or Cutting Head, carries the motor and the tungsten carbide saw blade. The head, complete with table, is allowed to swivel to produce mitre cuts and the head may also tilt to the left to produce bevel cuts.
ASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION. The saw is fully assembled and adjusted at the factory. On receipt inspect the machine to ensure that all parts are accounted for and that no damage was incurred during transit. Loose items are: 1 x socket spanner: 1 x spare set of carbon brushes. 1 x spare blade bore reducer bush. 1 x plastic 90/45O template.
NOTE: If the workpiece is not entirely straight, ensure that the portion at either side of the intended cut rests firmly against the table and back fence. When satisfied, make a final check to ensure that all safety precautions are being complied with, then pull and hold the trigger and allow the blade to reach full speed. If any unusual sounds or vibrations occur, release the starter switch immediately and investigate the cause.
C. Straight Bevel Cutting As with Mitre Cutting, this is a cross cutting operation, except that the blade is not perpendicular to the table, (see fig. 5). Ensure the table is set to 0O, and is locked in place using the table knob. Fig.5 The bevel adjuster is factory set so that when the head is tilted to its fullest extent the blade will cut a perfect 45° bevel.
MAINTENANCE 1. General The machine is maintenance free, except for changing the saw blade when necessary, maintaining adjustments, and ensuring that after use, you clean away any sawdust or wood chips, with a low pressure air line or brush, paying particular attention to the motor air vents which should be kept clear at all times.
Fig.10 4. Allow the blade guard to fully reassert, as shown in Fig.10, then unscrew and remove the second cover screw, as shown. This will allow the complete blade guard with centre hub and linkage to be carefully pulled from the head. Fig.11 5. Lower the saw head and lock in place with the locking pin 6. With the clear plastic blade guard removed, hold down the spindle locking lever, arrowed in Fig.
3. Carbon Brushes Replacement A spare pair of carbon brushes are supplied with the machine. Should it become necessary to change these, evidenced by erratic performance, then simply unscrew the brush holder plugs, ensuring the machine is disconnected from the mains supply, and pull out the worn brushes. Replace with new brushes, and screw in the plug, taking care not to cross thread it. Fig.12 4.
