GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING! As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property may result. 1. READ and BECOME FAMILIAR with the entire operating manual. Learn the machine’s applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. 2.
19. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times. For best footing wear rubber soled shoes or boots. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap wood, etc. 20. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Loose clothing or jewellery may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 21. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Lock the saw away, or cover securely when not in use. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS ✔ ALWAYS use saw Blade Guard and Riving Knife for every operation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Connect the mains lead to a 230 volt (50Hz) domestic electrical supply via a standard 13 amp BS 1363 plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
FEATURES Fig.1 1. The switch panel incorporates the ON and OFF switches. Your saw also features an Overload Protection device, so that if the motor is overloaded (due to feed pressure being too great, dull blade or low voltage), the Overload Relay will intervene, and the motor will automatically cut out. A reset button is provided at the front of the machine...wait at least 5 minutes before pressing and trying to restart. 2. A Dust Extraction Outlet is provided at the rear of the machine.
8. A Mitre Gauge may be used either side of the saw blade, in the groove provided. A Mitre Gauge fence allows workpieces to be held securely at any angle for accurate cross cutting. 9. The Blade Guard protects the operator and must ALWAYS be in place and working properly. WARNING: This machine IS NOT designed for ‘non-through cutting’ operations 10. The Table Insert is removable to facilitate the installation or removal of the saw blade, and must ALWAYS be in place.
UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS The Table Saw is shipped complete in one carton. Separate all parts from the packing materials 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 8558 7400 Fig.
ASSEMBLY IMPORTANT: Please read the following instructions carefully before attempting to assemble the saw. 1. Carefully remove the components from the packaging and lay them out, checking them off against the following list: Fig.2 Table of main components. Package also includes nuts, bolts and washers, referred to within the assembly instructions.
A. Table Extension 1. Carefully invert the saw assembly so that it rests on its table on a firm, level surface and remove the bottom grille - 4 securing screws. 2. Remove the polystyrene motor support (used for transit purposes). 3. Attach 4 Table Extension Support struts, each with a single M6x15 bolt (A), with flat washer on the inside, and flat and spring washer on the outside against the strut. DO NOT tighten at this stage. 4. Attach each Table Extension, noting that they are ‘handed’ i.e.
D. Riving Knife 1. Remove the Table Insert (8 countersunk head screws). 2. Raise the blade to its fullest extent....it is helpful also, to turn the angle adjuster so as to lay the blade on its side to some degree IMPORTANT: Take great care to avoid contact with the saw teeth which are extremely sharp when performing the following operations. Fig.5 3. Attach the Riving Knife to the bracket as shown in Fig. 5, using the two hex. socket head screws with spring and flat washers provided. Fig.
Fig.8 E. Blade Guard Attach the Blade Guard to the Riving Knife, as shown in Fig. 8, ensuring the large plastic washer (B) is used. Tighten the self locking nut (A) sufficiently for the Guard to be secure, but capable of dropping fully under its own weight. F. Rip Fence The Rip Fence comprises: Fig.9 A. The handle assembly ‘A’ B. The Fence ‘B’ C. Two fixings, each comprising a coach bolt and knob ‘C’. 1. Slide the Handle Assy.
H. Push Stick Brackets Screw on the Push Stick Spring Clips to the left side of the main casing, using the four screws, and washers provided. MOUNTING THE SAW IMPORTANT If the saw is to be a permanent fixture, ensure it is sited in an area with adequate illumination and power supply. DO NOT place it where you will be working in your own shadow, or where extension cables are required - these are hazardous in a workshop environment.
IMPORTANT CHECKS - BEFORE STARTING IMPORTANT: Before attempting to use the machine, it is necessary to ensure the various components are correctly adjusted, and checked for security. ALWAYS raise the blade and check for security. Ensure the Blade Guard is fitted and is secure, capable of dropping under its own weight. Remove all tools or pieces of wood from the table. Ensure the Rip Fence is secure. Ensure the saw Blade is at the desired height and locked in place. OPERATION 1.
2. Ripping or Rip Cutting Fig.12 This is the term used for cutting timber in the same direction as the grain, i.e usually lengthwise. To assist in producing a straight, true cut, a RIP FENCE is used. This may be positioned to the right or left of the saw blade, and may be adjusted to suit the width of cut required, and firmly secured in place, ensuring it is parallel to the blade, by screwing in the rip fence handle.
PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK 304mm Position the handle in the centre of the plywood and fasten together with glue and wood screws screwed in from below. (Ensure the screw holes are countersunk. The screw heads must not be proud). 130mm 120mm The small piece of wood 10x10x64mm should be GLUED to the plywood. DO NOT USE NAILS or SCREWS. This is to prevent damaging the saw blade in the event you mistakenly cut into the push block.
The graduations on the mitre gauge provide accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases where extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts for example, make a trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate square or protractor. For maximum accuracy when using the mitre gauge, always favour one side of the groove in the table. In other words, don’t move the mitre gauge from side to side while cutting but keep one side of the bar riding against one side of the groove.
2. Slide the workpiece along the mitre gauge until it touches the block, hold it securely. When cutting long workpieces, make sure the end is supported - from the floor. 3. Make the cut, pull the workpiece back and push the cut-off piece off the table with a long push stick, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS WARNING! 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.
MAINTENANCE WARNING! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, SWITCH MACHINE OFF AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE ADJUSTING, MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING 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.
2. Adjusting 90 and 45 Degree Positive Stops WARNING! ENSURE THE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PROCEEDING 2A. Adjusting Positive Stop at 90 Degrees (i) Fig.22 Raise the blade to maximum height. (ii) Turn machine so that it rests on its back edge, and (iii) Turn the blade angle adjusting handle until it hits the 90O stop. (iv) Place a combination square on the table with one end of square against the blade and check to see if the blade is 90O to the table.
TROUBLE SHOOTING TROUBLE Saw will not start PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY 1. Saw not plugged in 1. Plug in the machine 2. Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped 2. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker 3. Power cable damaged 3. Have cable replaced by authorised service centre 1. Positive stops not adjusted 1.
