W AXMINSTER W H I T E Setting Up the Machine... The machine has been fully and accurately set up at the factory. If, however, you are not happy that the saw is correctly set, or that it has been put out of true by an accident e.g. a 'knock' or a 'drop' etc., there is a very small amount of 'correction' adjustment available. Carry out the setting up procedures as follows:- MAKE SURE THE SAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE SUPPLY. ! Set the table to zero mitre angle.
Setting Up the Machine... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Tilt Adjustment Make sure the saw body frame is set in the upright position with the heel of the tilt frame casting hard against the stop. Pull the saw over and pin in the 'housed' position. Place a square reference on the table and move it into contact with the saw blade (not the teeth).
W Setting Up the Machine... AXMINSTER W H I T E Depth Adjustment It is possible to carry out a small adjustment to the depth of cut. ( i.e. the amount that the saw enters the table) It is done by adjusting the preset stop (See Fig 9) Ideally the geometry of the 'pull over' puts the centre line of the bore just slightly below the centreline of the pivot shaft. If you have cause to adjust the depth setting, remember to leave sufficient clearance to relieve the pressure on the lock down pin.
Setting the Laser... W AXMINSTER W H I T E WARNING!! THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A CLASS 2 LASER. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER BEAM ! Warning. Under no circumstances should you tamper with or modify the laser to try to increase its power output. ! Dispose of spent batteries responsibly. NOTE: The laser is individually powered. It does not switch on/off with the application of Mains Power. REMEMBER to switch the Laser off when you have finished using it to conserve the batteries.
W AXMINSTER W H I T E Setting the Laser... Aligning the Laser (Continued) Check that the laser line is a fine line, not dispersed or splayed. Adjust this by loosening the screw of the holder slightly, and twist the laser to give a fine straight line;(See Fig 16) retighten the holding screw. Loosen the two caphead bolts that secure the mounting bracket to the frame. (See Fig 17) Move the fitting until the laser is lined up, (this can involve a small amount of twisting) almost lined up etc.
Table of Capacities... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Always use a 250mm Saw Blade with a rated speed in excess of 4,500 r.p.m. The machine is supplied with a 250mm GP TCT (40 tooth) Saw blade, with a 16mm bore for cutting TIMBER. For Precision trimming e.g. fine cut finish of bead, frame, dado etc., a 72/80 tooth saw blade is recommended and for cutting non-ferrous metals, an 80 tooth negative rake saw blade. It is also recommended that you use a lubricant when cutting aluminium.
W Changing the Saw Blade... AXMINSTER W H I T E By trial and error, this is the best method we have found for changing the saw blade. Locate the nippled 'Y' wrench and the 13mm A/F box spanner. Put to hand. ! DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY Put the saw in the housed position. Remove the lower front fixed guard, by undoing the two fixing screws, put carefully aside.
Changing the Saw Blade... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Fig 23 Fig 24 ‘Y’ wrench Box spanner Check the blade, the fabric, the sharpness, the set, etc. If all is o.k., place in its keeper and stow safely away, if not all O.K. place in its keeper to await the ministrations of your local saw doctor. Take the opportunity, (with the blade off and the guard out of the way,) to clean the saw thoroughly. If you had removed it, replace the inner saw plate flange, make sure it is seated correctly on the arbor.
