The Blade Height Adjuster Wheel elevates or lowers the blade, It is also used to tilt the blade from 0o to 450o, 8. The Blade Tilt Scale shows the degree the blade is tilted. 9. The Rip Fence is for use when rip cuffing timber. It can be easily moved or locked in place by using the rip tence locking handle - lift up to loosen, press down to lock. 10.
UN-PACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS The Table Saw is shipped complete In one carton. Separate all parts and check to ensure that all components are accounted for, according to the following list, before discarding any packing material. Should any component be missing or damaged in transit, please contact your CLARKE dealer immediately, or CLARKE Customer Service Department on 020 8988 7400. Table of Loose Parts A Table Saw Assembly. B Rip Fence (Without Handle). C Mitre Gauge Assy (With Handle).
ASSEMBLY Before the machine can be used, the loose parts must first be assembled to it, and certain adjustments carried out. Please proceed as follows: A. Handle (to Blade Height Adjuster Handwheel - see illustration, page 7) 1. 2. Locate the small plastic handle, (item K, Fig. 2). with the centre screw and nut, and screw the nut in fully so that it butts up against the handle. Fig.
3. Thread the 55mm bolt through the hole in the NON RECESSED end of the Support Block. (see fig 3), with the lock washer, followed by the flat washer up against the bolt head. 4. Thread the spacer on to the protruding end of the 55mm bolt, and screw the bolt into the mounting hole at the back edge of the table. 5. Slide the slotted end of the Blade Guard Bracket over the lug on the Blade Guard Mounting Bracket so that the Blade Guard Bracket sits snugly on the table, as shown in fig.
4. When sefting the rip fence for ripping a piece of wood, you must always check to ensure that it is parallel to the mitre gauge slot, If there is a small discrepancy, it may be possible to release the locking handle and reposition the fence so that it is exactly parallel. If the discrepancy cannot be rectified in this manner, it will be necessary to slacken the two screws on top of the fence and move the body of the fence so that it is parallel to the mitre gauge slot.
Mounting to Plywood An alternative method of securing your table saw is to fasten the saw base to a mounting board, with a minimum size of 600x600mm. This is to prevent the saw from tipping whilst in use. A good grade of plywood with a minimum thickness of 19mm is recommended. 1. Follow the instructions for mounting to a workbench, substituting a ‘plywood board’, and using 8mm countersunk screws, with lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
Should the Riving Knife subsequently become out of shape or misaligned, it must be gently eased back into line, or if the damage is more severe, it must be removed and bent back into shape accordingly or replaced. 3. The Saw Blade Check to ensure the blade is sound. If teeth are chipped, or cracks are apparent, it must be renewed. 4. The Blade Guard Ensure the Blade Guard is in place, pivots freely, and falls under its own weight. (DO NOT overtighten the mounting bolt).
OPERATION 1. Starting and Stopping the Machine The ON and OFF switches are located on the front left of the machine.The left hand, GREEN switch is the ON switch and is marked with an ‘I’ symbol. The right hand RED switch is the OFF switch. It is raised and marked with the symbol ‘0’ For additional safety, the ON switch is a ‘NO VOLT RELEASE’ type.
When width of rip is 50 - 150mm (2” - 6”) wide use a push stick to feed the work. (Fig. 14). Fig.14 When width of rip is narrower than 50mm (2”), the push stick cannot be used because the guard will interfere. Use the auxiliary fence, and push block as shown in Fig. 14. The auxiliary fence is secured to the rip fencewith two ‘G’ clamps as shown in Fig. 15. Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is approximately 1” from the front edge of thetable.
✘ NEVER make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK. ✘ NEVER stand directly in front of the blade in case of a kickback. Stand to either side. ✘ NEVER reach over or behind the blade to pull the workpiece through the cut, to support long or heavy workpieces, to remove small cut-off pieces of material or for any other reason. ✘ NEVER pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table.
4. Crosscutting. Crosscutting is the term used to describe cuts made in timber across the grain. This type of cut requires the use of the MITRE GAUGE. This includes bevel cutting, mitre cutting and compound mitre cutting (described later in this chapter). Fig.18 To perform a cross cutting operation, the work is firmly held against the mitre gauge head, as shown in Fig. 18, with the mitre gauge bar located in either the left or right hand groove in the table.
When crosscutting, you should ALWAYS abide by the following rules: ✔ ALWAYS lock the mitre gauge securely. ✔ ALWAYS remove the rip fence from table during any operations which utilise the mitre gauge. ✔ ALWAYS make sure the blade guard is installed (for ALL sawing operations). ✔ ALWAYS set the saw blade height to the thickness of the wood plus 2-3mm. Additional blade exposure would increase the hazard potential.
CAUTION! NEVER use the rip fence as a length stop because the cut-off piece could bind between the fence and the blade causing a kickback. 6. Mitre Cutting Mitre cutting is the term used for cutting at an angle other than 90O to the edge of the wood. Fig.22 Follow the same procedure as you would for crosscutting. Adjust the mitre gauge to the desired angle, and lock it. The mitre gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION! For your own safety SWITCH MACHINE OFF and remove plug from power source before adjusting or maintaining your saw. Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw. Use a dust extractor if possible, if not, frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the saw cabinet and the motor. Inspect the power cable frequently. If it is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately. NOTE: Certain cleaning agents and solvents can damage plastic parts.
3. Adjusting Blade Parallel to the Mitre Gauge Slots This adjustment must be maintained to ensure accuracy and help prevent kickback, it is factory set prior to shipping, but should bechecked periodically to guarantee the performance of your machine, To check and adjust, you should proceed a follows: Fig.25 3.1 Raise blade as high as it will go. 3.2. Select a tooth on the rear of saw blade that is set to the left, when viewing blade fromThe front of saw, and mark this tooth with a pencil. 3.
4. Adjusting 90 and 45 Degree Positive Stops 4A. Adjusting Positive Stop at 90 Degrees 1. Raise the blade to maximum height. 2. Loosen the blade tilt locking handle and push the height adjuster wheel to the left as far as possible. Holding in this position, retighten the blade tilt locking handle. 3. Place a combination square on the table with one end of the square against the blade as shown (Fig.27),and check to see if the blade is at 90O Fig.27 4.
