UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.
ASSEMBLING STAND FOR MODEL TS200LS 1. Assemble the stand as shown in Fig. 4C, using 16 M8x1.25x20mm carriage head bolts, 3/8" flat washers and M8x1.25 hex nuts. Align the holes in the stand legs (F) with the holes in the brackets. Insert the carriage head bolt through the hole in the leg and the hole in the bracket, place a flat washer on the carriage head bolt and thread a hex nut onto the carriage head bolt. Repeat this process for the 15 remaining holes in the legs and brackets.
ATTACHING BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL 1. Insert an M6x1x55mm pan head screw (D) Fig. 5 through the handle (E). Attach the handle (E) to the handwheel (A) by threading the screw (D) clockwise into the handwheel. 2. Attach the handwheel (A) Fig. 6 to the shaft (B). Align the flat on the inside of the handwheel to the flat on the shaft. A B E A D Fig. 5 Fig. 6 A 3. Fasten the handwheel (A) Fig. 7 to the shaft using an M6x1x12mm flat head screw (C) C Fig.
3. Locate the 1/4-20x2½" hex head screw (G) Fig. 10. Place the 1/4" internal tooth lockwasher (O) M6.4 flat washer (P) and the 1/4" external tooth lockwasher (R) on the screw (G). 4. Position the recessed end (E) Fig. 11 of the splitter bracket (B) against the end of the pivot rod (F), and fasten using the assembly in STEP 3. NOTE: Loosely tighten the hardware for further adjustment. 5. Position the splitter (H) Fig.
NOTE: Before tightening the wing nut (M) Fig. 15, make certain a gap of at least 1/8" is between the bottom edge of the splitter (N) and the top surface of the table (P) and that the protrusions (K) are inside the slot of the splitter assembly (H). P 8. Use a straight edge to see if the splitter (H) Fig. 16 is aligned with the saw blade (R). If an adjustment is necessary, the splitter (H) can be moved left or right and rotated. H K N M 9.
1. 2. 3. Attach the spring clip (E) Fig. 19 to the miter gauge holder (A) using an M4x.7x10mm pan head screw (F), 3/16" external tooth lockwasher, (B) and M4x.7 hex nut. NOTE: The hex nut (G) Fig. 20 will fit into the recess at the back of the miter gauge holder (A) Fig. 19 to keep the spring clip (E) secured to the miter gauge holder. Attach the miter gauge holder (A) Fig. 21 to the left side of the saw cabinet using the four M4x.2x10mm screws (B) Fig.
OPERATION OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING SAW The on/off switch (A) Fig. 27 is located on the front of the saw cabinet. To turn the saw “ON”, move the switch (A) up to the “ON” position. To turn the saw “OFF”, move the switch (A) down to the “OFF” position. MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE, MOVE THE SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION. AN ACCIDENTAL START-UP CAN CAUSE INJURY.
BLADE TILT ADJUSTMENT B To tilt the saw blade, loosen the lock handle (A) Fig. 30 and move the handwheel (B) until the blade is at the desired angle. Tighten the lock handle (A). A NOTE: The lock handle (A) is spring-loaded. Pull out on the handle (A) and reposition it on the serrated stud located underneath the handle. THE BLADE TILTING LOCK HANDLE (A) MUST BE LOCKED DURING ALL CUTTING OPERATIONS. Fig.
RIP FENCE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS D 1. 2. To move the rip fence (A) Fig. 33 along the table, lift up the fence locking lever (B), slide the fence to the desired location on the table, and push down the fence locking lever (B). E A The pointer indicates the distance from the fence to the saw blade. If an adjustment is required, loosen the screw (C) Fig. 37 and adjust. C F IMPORTANT: The rip fence must be properly aligned to the miter gauge slot to prevent kickback when ripping. B Fig. 33 3.
MITER GAUGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS E For cross-cutting (blade set 90 degrees to the table), the miter gauge can be used in either table slot. For bevel cross-cutting (with the blade tilted), use the miter gauge in the right table slot only so that the blade will be tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands. To operate the miter gauge, loosen the lock knob (E) Fig. 34, and rotate the miter gauge to the desired angle. Fig.
CHANGING THE BLADE DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. USE ONLY 10" DIAMETER SAW BLADES RATED FOR 4700 RPM OR HIGHER. USE ONLY SAW BLADES WITH 5/8" ARBOR HOLES. 1. NOTE: One 7/8" wrench is supplied with the saw for changing the saw blade. 2. Remove table insert (A) Fig. 38, and raise saw blade (F) to its maximum height. 3. To remove blade, place the wrench (D) on the flats of the arbor nut (C) to keep the arbor from turning.
or more to one side or the other depending on which miter gage slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing (B) can be fastened to the front of the miter gage by using two wood screws (C) through the holes provided in the miter gage body and into the wood-facing. A C NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING. When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a block of wood (B) Fig. 39B can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 39B.
than three feet, use a work support at the rear of the saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the saw table. 3. If the ripped work is less than 6 inches wide, a push stick should always be used to complete the feed, as shown in Fig. 41. The push stick can easily be made from scrap material as explained in the section “CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.” 4. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done carefully.
1. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig. 44A). Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8″ to 13/16″ for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig. 45. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK 23 Fig. 48B 1/2" SQUARES CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/2" WOOD CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/4" WOOD NOTCH TO HELP PREVENT HAND FROM SLIPPING MAKE FROM 1/2" OR 3/4" WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MATERIAL TO BE CUT PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could be easily made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 48B.
CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD Fig. 49, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, as shown in Fig. 50, and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed.
MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN LUBRICATION Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.
