Before Starting The Equipment; General Information - HERKULES DS 405/2 E Manual De Instrucciones

5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 General information

•
All covers and safety devices have to be pro-
perly fitted before the machine is switched
on.
•
It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
•
When working with wood that has been
processed before, watch out for foreign bo-
dies such as nails or screws etc.
•
Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make
sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and
that the machine's moving parts run smoothly.
•
Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, make sure the data on the rating plate
is the same as that for your mains.
5.2 Mounting the saw on a workbench (Fig. 2)
1. It is better to mount the saw on a solid wood
workbench rather than on a weak plywood
stand where vibrations and noise are certain
to be a nuisance.
2. The tools and hardware needed to mount the
saw on a work bench are not supplied with
the saw. Be sure to use equipment of at least
the following size:
Item
Hex screws M8
Gaskets Ø 8 mm
Washers Ø 8 mm
Hex nuts M8
3. A sound-absorbing foam rubber mat is not
supplied with the saw. It is strongly
recommended to use such a mat, however, in
order to minimize vibrations and noise.
Description:
Soft foam rubber mat:
Do not overtighten the screws. Leave enough
scope for the foam rubber mat to develop a good
absorbing eff ect.
Mounting the saw on a workbench, see the Figure
(2) List of components in the illustration:
A: Saw body
B: Foam rubber support
C: Worktable
D: Flat gasket
E: Washer
F: Hex nut
G: Blocking nut
H: Hex screw

5.3 Assembly
Caution! Pull out the power plug before carrying
out any maintenance and conversion work on
your fretsaw.
5.3.1 Mounting the saw blade guard and the
sawdust blower facility (Fig. 4/5/6)
• Put the retention bolt (9) on the radial arm
(19).
•
Slide the saw blade guard (10) onto the reten-
tion bolt (9).
•
Insert the screw (20) through the bore hole of
the retention bolt (9) and the saw blade guard
(10).
•
Use the nut (21) to secure the screw from
falling out.
•
The saw blade guard can be fixed at various
heights with the clamping screw (11).
•
Mount the blow-off device (16) as shown in
Fig. 6.
5.3.2 Changing the blade (Fig. 1/3/7)
•
Turn the clamping screw (14) clockwise in
order to take the tension off the blade (15).
•
Unscrew the left cover (4).
•
First take the blade out of the top blade hol-
der (13), pressing down the upper pendulum
arm as you do so.
Quantity
•
Then take the blade out of the bottom blade
4
holder (8).
4
•
Pull the blade up and out through the table
4
insert (18).
8
•
Install the new blade in reverse order.
Caution: Always insert the blade so that the
teeth point toward the saw table.
The blade can be inserted in slot a or b;
Slot a: For cuts along the axis of the radial arm.
450 x 250 x 13 mm
Slot b: For cuts across the axis of the radial arm.
Tension the blade by turning the clamping screw
(14) anticlockwise (right-hand thread).
5.3.3 Tilting the saw table (Fig. 8)
•
Undo the locking screw (5).
•
Tilt the table (7) to the left until the indicator
(17) points to the required angle value on the
scale (6).
Important: For precision work you should
fi rst carry out a trial cut and then re-adjust
the tilt angle as required.
