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 Compound 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, in both directions, to produce mitre cuts and the head may also tilt to the left to produce bevel cuts. A combination of swivelling head and tilting head will also produce compound mitres.
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. 1 x dust bag. 1 x work clamp with support bar. 2 x work supports. Any deficiency or damage should be reported to your CLARKE dealer immediately.
When satisfied, make a final check to ensure that all safety precautions are being observed and the ‘Groove Plate’ is correctly set - see page 13, 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. When satisfied, push the Safety Lever to one side with your thumb or forefinger and gently lower the head so that the blade makes contact with the workpiece.
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.
E. Cutting a Groove A unique feature of this saw is its ability to produce grooves, both straight and angled. A special plate, indicated in Fig. 8a and an adjuster are used, as follows: Fig. 8 Firstly, determine the depth of your groove, and subtract this value from the thickness of your workpiece.
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.
By removing the collar, it is possible to use blades with a 16mm bore. 4. Replace the blade, ensuring it is of the correct bore. Where necessary use a collar to ensure it is a perfect fit on the spindle. Ensure also that all parts are perfectly clean and the blades’ teeth point down at the front. Additionally, the blade MUST be rated with a maximum speed greater than 4850RPM Please note that spare blades are available from Clarke International. Please see your Clarke dealer.
