General Instructions for 230v Machines... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Work Place/Environment The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet. If the machine is to be used outside and it starts to rain (unusual though this would be in U.K.), stop work and move it inside. If machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel. DO NOT use 230v a.c.
W General Instructions for 230v Machines... AXMINSTER W H I T E DO NOT use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised machines for working in these areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. Check that cutters, drills, blades etc., are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.

W Assembling the Main Saw Bench... AXMINSTER W H I T E Having unpacked the boxes, (please dispose of any unwanted packaging responsibly), put the parts and components whereby they are readily to hand. Break down the main box by knocking the sides away (be careful of exposed nails etc.), but leave the machine sitting on its pallet. (See fig 1). Identify the short rear panel with the dust extraction cutout, locate the dust extraction moulding and fit to the panel using the nuts and bolts provided.
Assembling the Main Saw Bench...
W AXMINSTER W H I T E Assembling the Rear Extension Table... Remove the 6 fixing bolts in each of the two top, side panels, put carefully aside and remove the panels. (See figs 6 & 7) This gives easier access to the back of the two rear upper chassis legs. Locate the rear extension table brackets, the clamping straps and 4 No. M8 caphead bolts and washers. PLEASE NOTE: the manufacturer has fitted adjusting bolts to the brackets, these are the faces that back against the legs.
Mounting the First Side Extension Leaf... W AXMINSTER W H I T E ! THE EXTENSION LEAF IS HEAVY YOU MAY REQUIRE A SECOND PERSON TO HELP LIFT IT IN PLACE Select one of the extension leaves, (either one, they are identical) locate 4 No. M8 hexhead bolts and washers. Ensure the table is correctly orientated (the front edge of the table is bevelled). Stand the back end of the table on the floor, close to the front and edge of the main saw table, with the underside of the table facing the front of the saw.
W Mounting the Slide Rail Assembly (Continued)... AXMINSTER W H I T E Remove the middle bolt, allow the bracket to hang vertically, fit the bolt through the bottom hole of the bracket, screw it back into its position. Align the adjustor block as near vertical as you can judge and fasten up its fixing bolt. Screw the adjusting bolt back through the block until it touches the lower face of the mounting bracket. 'Nip' the securing bolts for the mounting bracket. Fit the other bracket in the same way.
Mounting the Second Side Extension Leaf... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Second extension leaf Fig 12 Support leg M8x20mm hexhead bolt Turn the leaf upside down on a work surface (or the saw table?) and attach the support leg to the outside edge, using the 20mm bolts and fastening through the two middle holes. Mounting the Front Guide Rail and Rear Clamping Rail for the Rip Fence... Locate the 10 No. M8 SQUARE head bolts washers and nuts.
W Setting the Machine Tables... AXMINSTER W H I T E PLEASE ENSURE THAT BY NOW, THE SAW BENCH IS PLACED IN ITS WORKING LOCATION IN THE WORKSHOP. Place a long straight edge (as long as ext. table plus 2/3 main saw table min.) along one long edge of the rear table and along the main table. NOTE: The rear extension table brackets can be moved up and down within the slotted fixing holes, and 'tilted' forward or backward using the adjusting bolts in the frames adjacent to the fixing bolts.
Setting the Sliding Table... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Fig 15 Fig 16 Set the sliding table so that the front edge is inline with the front edge of the saw table. Place a long straight edge (a bit more than twice the width of the sliding table) along the front edges of the two tables. Set the near corner of the table to the straight edge. Move the table and the straight edge to the rear of the MAIN table. Set the rear corner to the straight edge. Adjust the table to bring it level under the straight edge.
W AXMINSTER W H I T E Mounting the Micro-Adjustor to the Rip Fence Mounting Bracket... Locate the Micro-Adjustor and the Rip Fence. There are two fixing screws through the adjustor mounting bracket with square nuts on them. Ensure the nuts are undone sufficiently to allow them to slide into the channel in the Rip Fence mounting bracket extrusion, position as required, normally slightly to the right of the rip fence, (See fig 17) and tighten the screws securely.
Mounting the Sliding Table Fence Assembly... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Introduce the Clamping Handle through its clamping washer and the arc slot into the tapped hole in the sliding table. Pinch up the Clamping handle. Mount the distance stop by introducing the dog into the wide channel in the top of the fence extrusion. Fit the workpiece hold down clamp onto the main tool post and pinch up the clamping knob.
W Fitting the Switch Shroud... AXMINSTER W H I T E Locate the switch shroud. Position the shroud over the switch block, such that the knob shaped cover is hinged at the top See fig 20. Secure using the two small self tapping screws provided. Switch shroud Fig 20 x2 Self tapping screws Fixing the Riving Knife... See IPB on Page 42 & 43 Locate the Riving Knife. Remove the 5 No. screws that secure the saw gullet, place carefully aside. Remove the saw gullet and place it aside.
Attaching the Saw Hood Guard and the Extraction Hose... W AXMINSTER W H I T E There is no requirement to remove the guard. The profile of the riving knife precludes the use of the saw for slotting or grooving, and the maximum depth of cut can be achieved with the guard in place. The positioning of the extraction hose could be a nuisance if you are cutting big boards, et al.
W AXMINSTER W H I T E Setting and Checking the Machine... Raise the blade to its maximum height, check that is upright to the table. Set the sliding table fence to zero angle against the preset post. Slacken the two fence mounting bolts and slide the fence up close to the saw blade. Fasten the two mounting bolts again. Using a known 90˚ square place it against the fence and the blade (not on the teeth), and check that the angle is correct, if not, adjust the preset post on the Mitre Angle Rear Quadrant.
Setting and Checking the Machine... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Check the belt tension (see fig 24) the belt should be tight, but not unduly so. Remove all tools and stow away. Check that the machine tables are clear. Lower the saw to leave about 25mm protruding, set the saw upright. Check that everything that should be tight, is tight; saw blade guard, rise and fall lock mechanism, fence clamps etc. Connect the machine to the mains supply, lift the switch shroud and give the machine a quick burst. i.e.
W Identification & Description of the Saw Table... AXMINSTER W H I T E Saw table (See fig A) This is the actual machine, it comprises a cast iron table with the cut-out to allow the saw blade to project through, the two slots into which the small mitre fence can be fitted. The edges of the table have various combinations of drilled and tapped holes to allow the mounting of the extension tables and the fence mounting rails; the saw assembly and the motor are bolted to the underside of the table.

The distance from the blade can be set against the tape decal. Rear extension table (See figE) The rear extension table consists of 5 pieces, the table itself, two support brackets, and two clamping plates. The clamping plates fit behind the faces of the two rear upper chassis legs.
Maintenance... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust build up as is practical. Periodically, remove the saw gullet and blow out brush out clean out the saw box and the extraction hosing. Remove any resin build up in the saw box, using a proprietary resin cleaner. Remove the upper side panels and clean the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall and tilt mechanisms. At the same time check the belt drive, i.e.
W Changing the Saw Blade... AXMINSTER W H I T E ! WARNING!! DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY Raise the saw blade to it's highest point. Remove the saw blade guard. Remove the 5 screws that secure the table insert, place carefully aside and remove the table insert. Using the spanner and the tommy bar provided, put the spanner onto the flats on the nut. Turn the saw until the tommy bar hole is visible.
Specific Instructions/Precautions for the Saw Bench... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Make sure the saw blade is the correct type for the job in hand. DO NOT force the saw, if the saw begins to 'stall' you are 'forcing the cut' or over working the saw. Ensure that the saw blade is clean and sharp.
