10˝ BENCHTOP TABLE SAW WITH STAND ENG
8. RIPPING (SEE FIG. L5)
Ripping is cutting a piece of wood with the grain. This is
done using the Rip Fence.
Put the fence to the desired width of the rip cut and lock it in
place. Before starting to rip, make sure:
1) The rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
2) The splitter is properly aligned with the saw blade. When
ripping long boards or large panels, always use a work-
piece support. Hold the material to be cut against the rip
fence and feed it through the blade with smooth, steady
pressure. Only apply feed pressure to the work-piece
between the blade and the rip fence in order to prevent
the work-piece from binding against the blade and
causing kickback.
When ripping boards narrower than 6” (150 mm), use a
push stick to feed the work-piece until it is clear of the table.
When bevel ripping material 6” (150 mm) or narrower, use
the rip fence on the right side of the blade only.
9. CUTTING TIPS
a. Make sure the kerf is made on the scrap side of the
measuring line.
b. Cut the wood with the finished side up.
c. Always have a proper support for the wood as it comes
out of the blade.
d. Make a test cut for important cuts.
e. Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of
the blade teeth should clear the top of the material being
cut by 1/8” (3 mm) to 1/4” (6 mm).
f. Inspect the work-piece for knots or nails before
beginning a cut.
g. Always use clean, sharp, properly-set blades. Never
make a cut with a dull blade.
h. When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never
force a cut.
i. DO NOT cut wet or warped lumber.
j. Always hold your work-piece firmly with both hands or
use a push stick or push block.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Remove the plug from the socket
before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
1) Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility.
2) Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in
your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners
to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
3) Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. If you see some sparks flashing in the
ventilation slots, this is normal and will not damage your
power tool.
4) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid any hazard.
1. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
WARNING: Do not use for ferrous metals. Do
not use saw without proper guards. Before
each use, examine blade and tips for cracks,
breaking, missing or loose tips, or other damage.
1) Remove the blade guard and the blade throat plate.
2) Raise the blade to the highest possible position.
3) To keep the spindle from rotating, place the Wrench 1
on the flange flats to lock it. Place the Wrench 2 on the
nut and rotate the nut anti-clockwise to loosen the arbor
nut. (See Fig. M)
4) Remove the nut, outer flange, blade, inner washer, inner
flange from the spindle.
5) Replace with a new Blade. Be sure that the teeth are
facing toward the front side of the saw.
6) Replace the outer flange and nut and tighten securely.
Make sure both blade flanges are in contact with the
blade.
7) Re-position the blade throat plate and the blade guard.
