Ripping mode (fig. K1 & K2)
To perform standard saw bench operations, the blade traverse must be
locked in central position.
• Loosen the blade level locking ring (10) (fig. K1).
• Take hold of the combined elevating and traverse handle (6) and twist it
clockwise to release the blade from its locked position at the rear.
• Push the ripping position locating lever (11) towards the bevel locking
handle (13) until the lever locates in the groove in the traverse rod (fig. K2).
• Pull the handle slowly to pull the saw blade across the kerf slot. The
ripping position locating lever (11) will engage automatically when the
correct blade position is reached. The blade traverse is spring loaded
and the spring pressure will retain the blade traverse in this position
until manually unlocked (fig. K1).
• After operating, pull back the ripping position locating lever and return
the saw blade to the rear position.
Do not allow the saw blade to hit the rear with force. Guide it
by keeping hold of the traverse handle.
Blade traverse mode (fig. K3)
In this mode, the workpiece is held stationary against the fence and the
blade is pulled across to perform the cross-cutting function.
• Release the blade traverse by loosening the blade level locking ring (10)
and turning the traverse handle (6) clockwise, thus allowing the blade
to be pulled across the workpiece.
• To return the blade traverse to its rest position, simply release the
blade traverse handle.
• Tighten the locking ring (10).
Plunge-up function
In the traverse mode the blade may be plunged up through the workpiece,
which is clamped in position between the fence and the riving knife, in
order to extend the maximum traverse length.
• Release the blade traverse by loosening the blade level locking ring (10)
and steadily turning the traverse handle (6) clockwise, thus allowing the
blade to cut through the workpiece.
• When the blade has been fully lifted it can be traversed as described
above.
Switching on and off (fig. L)
The on/off switch of your saw bench offers multiple advantages:
- no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for some reason,
the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
- motor overload protection device: in case of motor overload, the power
supply to the motor will be cut off. If this happens, let the motor to cool
for 10 minutes and then press the green start button.
- electronic braking system: after switching off, the braking system will
produce a humming noise for about eight seconds as it resets.
The machine can be restarted during this period if required.
• To switch the machine on, press the green start button (53).
• To switch the machine off, press the red stop button (54).
Basic saw cuts
Ripping mode (fig. M1 - M3)
Vertical ripping
• Set the blade to 0°.
• Set the blade in ripping position.
• Set the blade to the required height.
• Mount the fence assembly for ripping mode to the right of the blade,
with the rear end of the fence level with the back of the riving knife.
• Check the fence for parallelity to the blade.
en - 6
• Position the fence using the scale (55) (fig. M1). (The workpiece
between the blade and the fence will be the measured and retained
section. The scrap or off-cut is to the left of the blade.)
• If using the upper guard in the fixed position, adjust to the height required.
• Switch on the machine.
• Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the front guard, keeping it firmly
pressed against the rip fence. Allow the teeth to cut, and do not force
the workpiece through the blade. The blade speed should be kept
constant (fig. M2).
• Remember to use the push stick (14) when close to the blade.
• Switch off the machine after completing the cut.
Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before
unplugging.
Bevel ripping
The combined rip and mitre fence can be positioned either to the left or
right of the blade (fig. M3).
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Proceed as for vertical ripping.
Blade traverse mode - Cross-cutting (fig. N1 & N2)
Vertical cross-cutting 90° (fig. N1)
• Mount the fence assembly for blade traverse mode.
Remember:
When the fence is to the left of the blade operate the traverse handle
with the right hand.
When the fence is to the right of the blade operate the traverse handle
with the left hand.
• With the machine switched off, pull the saw blade across to ensure
that the fence is definitely not in the path of the blade.
• Mark the workpiece and place it up against the fence with the cutting
mark in line with the saw blade.
• Switch on the machine.
• Holding or clamping the workpiece firmly against the fence, pull the
blade accross the workpiece.
• Ensure a steady and even pull whilst sawing.
• Return the blade to the rear and switch off the machine after
completing the cut.
Mitre cuts (fig. N2)
• Mount the fence assembly for blade traverse mode.
Remember:
When the fence is to the left of the blade operate the traverse handle
with the right hand.
When the fence is to the right of the blade operate the traverse handle
with the left hand.
• Set the fence to the required angle.
• Proceed as for vertical cross-cutting.
Bevel cuts
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Proceed as for vertical cross-cutting.
Compound mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Proceed as for mitre cuts.
