OPERATION

1. Starting and Stopping the Machine

The ON and OFF switches are located on the front left of the machine.The left hand, GREEN switch is

the ON switch and is marked with an ‘I’ symbol.

The right hand RED switch is the OFF switch. It is raised and marked with the symbol ‘0’

For additional safety, the ON switch is a ‘NO VOLT RELEASE’ type. This means that if the power is

interrupted for whatever reason whilst the machine is switched ON, the no volt release will automatically

trip, setting the machine to the OFF position, thereby preventing it from starting again when the power

is restored. The machine may then be restarted by pressing the ON switch.

Your machine also features an OVERLOAD CUTOUT device, so that if the machine is overloaded (due

to feed pressure being too great, a dull blade or low voltage etc.), the overload relay will intervene

and the motor will automatically cut out, In this event:

a. Press the OFF bufton and disconnect from the mains supply,

b. Allow the motor to cool for three to five minutes.

b. Plug the machine back into the mains supply, and switch the saw back on.

2. Ripping or Rip Cutting

This is the term used for cutting timber in the same direction as the grain, i.e usually lengthwise.

First ensure the blade is set to 90

as indicated by the pointer showing 0

on the scale on the front of

the machine. If absolute accuracy is required, check the blade angle with a square or protractor and

adjust if necessary by slackening the blade tilt locking handle, moving the blade until it is at 90

and

retightening the tilt locking handle. At this point, you should also zero the pointer.

To assist in producing a straight, true cut, a RIP FENCE is used, This is positioned to the right of the saw

blade, and may be adjusted to suit the width of cut required. It should be firmly clamped in place.

ensuring it is parallel to the blade, by pushing the rip fence handle down. DO NOT force the handle. If

The handle adjustment is not correct, and too much force is applied, the fence will tend to ride up on

the table and become misaligned. Adjustment should be carried out in accordance with the instructions

given on page 11.

Additionally, when positioning the fence for maximum rip, make sure it is fully clamped, and does not

extend beyond the edge of the table. Do not rip cut with the fence beyond this position, because it

cannot be clamped.

When the width of rip is 150mm (6”) and wider,

use your RIGHT HAND to FEED the workpiece and

your LEFT HAND to GUIDE the workpiece as

sholwn in Fig. 13.

DO NOT feed the workpiece with your left hand.
