• Tighten the locking nut (47) by turning clockwise while holding the spindle
lock engaged with your other hand.
• Put the guard (9) back in position.
• Tighten the screw (43) on the side of the guard.
WARNING: Never press the spindle lock while the cutting disc
is rotating.
Material thickness (fi g. F2)
• The D24000 is fi tted with a large diameter fl ange (48a),
recommended for cutting material up to 80 mm in depth.
• A smaller fl ange (48b) is provided for when the 95 mm maximum
cutting depth is required.
• The larger fl ange should be used whenever possible to ensure
optimum cutting performance.
Connecting the machine to the mains (fi g. A)
• Make sure the on/off switch (1) is in the off position.
• Connect the mains plug to a mains supply.
• Arrange a drip loop in the cord connecting the machine to mains to
prevent water from dripping onto the plug. The drip loop is that part of
the cord below the level of the socket.
Adjustment
WARNING: Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.
Checking and adjusting the cutting depth (fi g. G)
The rim of the cutting disc should always be at least 5 mm below the table
surface.
• Loosen the depth adjustment knob (2).
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
• Tighten the depth adjustment knob (2).
• Make a dry run by pushing the table entirely through the cutting disc.
Check that the cutting disc does not foul the table.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the depth adjustment knob (2).
• Loosen the wingnut (49) a few turns.
• Adjust the cutting depth stop (10) as necessary, making sure that the
rim of the cutting disc is at least 5 mm below the table surface.
• Tighten the wingnut (49).
Checking that the crosscut travel is perpendicular to the fence
(fi g. H1 & H2)
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
• Move the table in front of the disc.
• Place a square (50) on the table and against the fence and just
touching the disc as shown.
• Push the table through the cutting disc to check that the disc traverses
parallel to the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Slacken the screws (51) holding the rail assembly to the frame.
• Position the rail adjuster (52) as necessary.
• With the square placed against the fence, check again that the disc
traverses parallel to the square and adjust as necessary.
• Tighten the screws (51).
Checking that the cutting disc is perpendicular to the table (fi g. I1 - I3)
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11).
• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten
the bevel clamp knob.
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
• Move the table until underneath the disc.
• Place a square (50) on the table and against the disc as shown.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11) and turn the vertical position
adjustment stop screw (53) in or out until the disc is at 90° to the table
as measured with the square.
• If the bevel pointer (54) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (55),
loosen the screw (56) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as
necessary.
Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fi g. I3 & J)
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11) and move the saw head to the left.
This is the 45° bevel position.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the stopscrew (57) in or out as necessary until the pointer (54)
indicates 45°.
Cutting a kerf (fi g. K)
The kerf indicator (58) helps to locate the path of the cutting disc.
• Switch on the machine and wait for the disc to reach full speed.
• Push the table entirely through the cutting disc to cut a kerf in the
wheel (59).
• Switch off the machine.
If the kerf is worn, a new kerf can be created.
• Loosen the locking screw (60).
• Rotate the wheel (59) to expose uncut surface.
• Tighten the locking screw (60).
• Cut a new kerf following the instructions as described above.
Checking and adjusting the scale (fi g. L)
• Move the table until underneath the disc.
• Check the scale (61) on the fence using a tape measure (62) with the
zero marking placed against the cutting disc.
• If adjustment is required, loosen the screws (63) that hold the scale (62)
in place, adjust to the correct dimension and tighten the screws.
Locking the sliding table (fi g. M)
The table can be locked in the following positions:
– Front position (cutting disc freely accessible) (64).
– Plunge position (cutting disc over middle of table) (65).
– Outfeed position (cutting disc at fence) (66).
• Move the table (4) to the desired position.
• Lock the table by rotating the pin (22) and pushing it into the hole in the
rail.
Adjusting the water nozzles (fi g. A & N)
The water nozzles (7) are adjustable to provide the necessary water fl ow of
cooling water.
• Adjust the nozzle by moving the handle (67) into the required position.
– Maximum capacity (nozzles fully retracted) (68).
– Minimum overspray (nozzles in line with cutting disc) (69).
– Off position to eliminate water overspray between cuts and for
replacing the cutting disc (70).
Regulating the water fl ow (fi g. O)
The fl ow restrictor (71) on the water tube can be adjusted to regulate the
fl ow of cooling water towards the cutting disc.
• To reduce the fl ow, squeeze the restrictor.
• To increase the fl ow, release the restrictor.
Instructions for use
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in
terms of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so
that the operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space
