Setting Up the Saw Fig 12 DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY! Tensioning and tracking the blade Blade Make sure both top and bottom blade guides are well clear of the blade. Tyre Open the front covers fully, giving good access to the top compartment of the saw and good visibility into the bottom compartment. (see page 13). For tracking the blade first adjust all bearing guides so that there well clear of the blade.
Setting Up the Saw Checking the table is square If the preset table stop has been fitted, proceed as follows:Loosen the butterfly nut clamping the tilt mechanism, see fig 15, and turn the table hard against its stop. This is a bolt with a lock nut screwed into the underside of the table, see fig 16, that acts as a stop when it strikes the machine frame. Tighten the butterfly nut. Check that the blade is perpendicular to the table. If it is not, try resetting the table.
Setting Up the Saw Fig 24-25 DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY! Setting the Blade Guides Lower the upper blade guide to approximately 1 1/2”(38mm) above the table by loosening the blade guide height clamp and turning the adjusting knob. Clamp in place, see figs 21-22. Loosen the grub screw (A) holding the guide assembly in place, see fig 23. Adjust the fore or aft position so that the leading edges of the side guide pins are approximately 2mm behind the gullets of the saw blade.
Setting Up the Saw Fig 27 D Close the upper and lower doors, re-connect the power, switch the saw on, allow to run for several minutes, check that the blade is still tracking correctly, there is no excessive vibration, etc. Switch off and wait until the saw comes to a complete stop. The saw is ready to be used. Operating Instructions Guide pin 1. Make sure you have read and fully understood the general instructions and safety precautions that are printed in the preceding pages of this manual.
Operating Instructions Do not try to cut too quickly; the correct cutting speed, if one could be so precise, would never see the blade pushed back against the thrust bearing The saw would cut and clear the saw line at the rate the work piece was fed into it. If you notice that you require more and more pressure to effect the cut, and the blade is in continual contact with the thrust bearing, the chances are the blade is becoming blunt. Check and change if necessary.
Changing the Saw Blade mounting assembly could likewise be lightly oiled. If you are fitting a new blade it will have been supplied to you “folded”, bound together in this configuration with tape or tie wrap. Also check the blade did not “unfold” inside out. i.e. looking at the right side front of the loop, the teeth should be on the front of the blade, and pointing down. If you can’t arrive at this view, turn the blade inside out from its current position and look again. lower blade guides, see fig 31.
Routine Maintenance Daily Monthly • Keep the machine clean. • Open the lower and upper doors and check the condition of the tyres & the drive belt, see fig 34. • Check the saw blade for missing teeth and cracks, see fig 34. • Spray oil the bare metal surfaces. Weekly • Open the top & bottom wheel covers and clean out all saw dust. Clean out impacted ‘crud’ & saw dust • Clean impacted ‘crud’ from the tyres, apply a little oil to the screw threads of the blade and drive belt tensioners.
