W AXMINSTER W H I T E Identification and Parts Description... Upper saw wheel (Continued) (The yoke is driven up or down allowing increasing or decreasing of the blade tension). The saw wheel is fitted with a rubber tyre to give better grip to the saw blade, and smoother running. It also allows the blade to be tracked in the centre of the wheel; unlike the bad old days when the blade had to be tracked off the front edge of the wheel to safeguard the teeth.

Operating Instructions... W AXMINSTER W H I T E 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. 2. Before connecting the machine to the supply; check the tool for obvious signs of damage, paying particular attention to the plug and the power cable. Rectify or have rectified any damage you discover. Check that the blade you are using is the correct one for the job in hand. Change the blade if necessary.
W Operating Instructions Continued... AXMINSTER W H I T E N.B. IF THE SAW JAMS! Switch off immediately. Open the saw cut, either by pulling apart or driving a wedge in close to the back of the blade. Try to wriggle the blade free of the saw, if this is not possible; check that the saw is free in the cut, start the saw, allow it to run up to speed and ‘cut out’ as quickly as possible. (The removal of the ‘offcut’ may well prevent the saw jamming again if you resume the original cut).
Routine Maintenance... W AXMINSTER W H I T E Daily •Keep the machine clean. •Check the saw blade for missing teeth and cracks in the fabric. •Spray oil the bare metal surfaces. Weekly •Open the top & bottom wheel covers & clean out all saw dust. Monthly •Open the lower & upper door and check the condition of the tyres & the drive belt. •Clean impacted ‘crud’ from the tyres, apply a little oil to the screw threads of the blade and drive belt tensioners. DO NOT USE OIL near the belt.
