INSTALLING TABLE INSERT DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. L Lower saw blade and install table insert (P) Fig. 26, in the saw table. IMPORTANT: When installing the table insert, make certain to hold on to the blade guard (L). The insert will automatically release the holding action on the splitter and lower the blade guard when the insert is installed in the table opening. M P Insert M5x20mm screw into hole (M) Fig. 26 and tighten. Fig. 26 ADJUSTING TABLE INSERT C Place a straight edge (B) Fig.
ASSEMBLING MITER GAGE A B DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE Place a flat washer (A) Fig 30 on the threads of the miter gage lock handle (B) and then thread the handle into the hole (C) in miter gage bar. C Inster plate (D) Fig.41 into the miter gage slot (E) Fig. 41 and slide miter gage onto saw table. Fig. 30 OPERATION OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING SAW The on/off switch is located underneath the switch shield (A) Fig. 32.
ADJUSTING 90 DEGREE AND 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS A The machine is equipped with positive stops that will quickly and accurately position the saw blade at 90° and 45° to the table. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. F 1. Remove the blade guard and splitter. 2. Raise the saw blade to its highest position. 3. Set the blade at 90° to the table by turning the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far as it will go. 4.
ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT E BLADE ALIGNMENT IS FACTORY SET AND SHOULD NOT NEED ADJUSTMENT. ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT IN THE FIELD IS A DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING PROCEDURE. ALL SAW BLADES HAVE SOME RUNOUT. THEREFORE, RE-ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY. (SEE CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT.) DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Lower blade. Remove blade guard and table insert. With a 1/2″ wrench, slightly loosen the 4 front and rear trunnion mounting bolts.
MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT The miter gage is equipped with adjustable index stops at 90, 75, 60,45 and 30 degrees. A To rotate the miter gage, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 40, push the thumb lever (B) down and move the body of the miter gage (C) to the desired angle. C The miter gage is equipped with a plate (D) Fig.41 which fits into the T-Slot groove (E) in the table. This allows the miter gage to be pulled off the front edge of the table without falling.
CROSS-CUTTING Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gage to position and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gage and advance both the gage and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 42. The miter gage may be used in either table slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove that does not cause interference of your hand or miter gage with the saw blade guard. Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter gage and the table.
RIPPING Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 45). NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry and flat. 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. A THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE USED.
USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead is a fast, safe and clean operation.The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc. The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, (Fig. 49).
USING DADO HEAD THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR MOULDING. IT MUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNG TO THE REAR OF THE SAW AS DESCRIBED IN “USING ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD” SECTION. AUXILIARY JIGS, FIXTURES, PUSH STICKS AND FEATHER BOARDS SHOULD BE USED. 1. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig. 53).
CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD Fig. 59, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, as shown in Fig. 60, and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK 27 Fig. 78 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 WIDTH OF MATERIAL TO BE CUT PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 78.
MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN LUBRICATION Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.
