ATTACHING THE SAW TO THE STAND 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Invert the saw table face down on a piece of cardboard to protect the table surface. Align the four holes in the saw cabinet with the four holes in the stand. Place a 3/8" flat washer on an M8 x 1.25 x 16mm hex head screw. Insert the screw through the hole in the stand and the hole in the saw. Place another 3/8" flat washer and an M8 x 1.25 hex nut on the screw. Tighten securely. Repeat this process for the three remaining holes.
CHANGING THE BLADE DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Use only 10" diameter saw blades, rated for 6000 rpm or higher with 5/8" arbor holes. NOTE: Two 7/8" wrenches are supplied with the saw for changing the saw blade - a box-end wrench and an openend wrench. 1. Remove the two table insert screws (K) Fig. 13 and the table insert (A). IMPORTANT: Save the two rubber washers located under table insert for further use. 2.
GUIDE RAILS 1. 2. 3. 4. Align the three slotted holes in the front right guide rail (A) Fig. 14 with the two holes (B) in the saw table and the slotted hole (C) in the extension wing. Insert an M6 x 1 x 20mm carriage head screw (D) Fig. 14 through the three holes in the front right guide rail and the saw table. Place an M6.4 flat washer (E) and a 6.1 lockwasher (F) on the carriage head screw (D) Thread and M6 x 1 hex nut (G) on the carriage head screw (D) and HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
RIP FENCE 1. Insert the handle (A) Fig. 19 into the threaded hole (B) in the rip fence (C). 2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the rip fence handle (A) Fig. 20 and tighten the screw. 3. Tighten the hex nut (D) Fig. 20 against the fence body. D B A C Fig. 19 A Fig. 20 LEVELING AND ADJUSTING THE FRONT GUIDE RAIL DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. B 1. Turn the blade-raising handwheel (counter-clockwise) to raise the saw blade to its maximum height. 2. With the handle (A) Fig.
BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. Thread an M12 x 1.75 hex nut (A) Fig. 26 on the splitter support rod (R), as far as it will go. Place a 5/8" flat washer (B) Fig. 26 on the splitter support rod (R). Add the splitter bracket (C), then a 5/8" flat washer (B). Thread an M12 x 1.75 hex nut (D) on the splitter support rod (R) Fig. 26 and tighten the nut to secure the splitter bracket (C) in place. B D R C A Fig. 26 4.
OPERATION OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW 1. The on/off switch (A) Fig. 30 is located on the front of panel of the saw. To turn the machine “ON”, move the switch up to the “ON” position. 2. To turn the machine “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.
ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° POSITIVE STOPS C A D B F Fig. 34 Fig. 33 Your saw is equipped with positive stops that will position the saw blade at 90° and 45° to the table. To check and adjust the positive stops: DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Turn the blade-tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it will go. Place a square (A) on the table and against the blade (Fig. 33). If the blade is not 90° to the table, loosen the two set screws (B) Fig.
RIP FENCE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS Properly align the rip fence to the miter gauge slot and the saw blade to prevent kickback. 1. 2. To move the fence (A) Fig. 38 along the guide rails, lift up on the fence locking lever (B), slide the fence to the desired location, and push down on the locking lever (B). Adjust the fence (A) Fig. 38 so that it is parallel to the miter gauge slots (C) and the saw blade.
3. The miter gauge is equipped with a special washer (F) Fig. 42, and a flat head screw (G) which are attached to the bottom end of the miter gauge bar (H). The special washer (F) rides in the T-slotted miter gauge slot (J) and prevents the miter gauge from falling when it is extended past the saw table (Fig. 43). H F G J Fig. 43 Fig. 42 ADJUSTING THE TABLE INSERT Adjust the table insert (A) Fig. 44 so that it is flush with the saw table surface.
RIPPING Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board (Fig. 46), and the rip fence (A) is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table. Use the guard.
For certain cutting operations such as dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting completely through the workpiece, DO NOT USE the blade guard and splitter assembly. Always return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper operating position for normal through-sawing operations. DO NOT USE the outside arbor flange with the moulding cutterhead. Tighten the arbor nut against the cutterhead body.
Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into a workpiece. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters (Fig. 52). 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. Fig. 52 B A The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws (Fig. 53). The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig.
USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE When performing a moulding operation, add a wood facing (A) Fig. 57 to one or both sides of the rip fence. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws. Install and countersink these screws through the holes provided in the fence. Workpieces that are 3/4"are suitable for most work although an occasional job may require 1" facing.
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 the WIDTH OF THE WORKPIECE. PUSH STICK CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4" wide, use a push stick to complete the feed You can make one from scrap material by using the pattern shown here.
