Kerf board (Fig. 11)
This machine is provided with the kerf board in the
turn base. If the kerf groove has not yet been cut in
the kerf board by the factory, you should cut the
groove before actually using the machine to cut a
workpiece. Switch on the machine and lower the
blade gently to cut a groove in the kerf board.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
(Fig. 12 & 13)
Unplug the machine before any adjustment is
attempted. This machine is factory adjusted to pro-
vide the max. cutting capacity for a 255 mm saw
blade. When the diameter of the blade has been
reduced due to sharpening, adjust the depth adjusting
bolt by turning it with the socket wrench. The saw
blade is lowered by turning the depth adjusting bolt
counterclockwise and raised by turning it clockwise.
Adjust so that when the handle is in the fully lowered
position, there will be a distance of about 126 mm
from the front face of the guide fence to the point
where the front edge of the blade enters the kerf. With
the machine unplugged, rotate the blade by hand
while holding the handle all the way down. Be sure
that the blade does not contact any part of the lower
base when the handle is lowered completely.
Positioning for adjusting the miter angle
(Fig. 14)
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. This
allows the turn base to turn freely. When you have
moved the grip to the position where the pointer
indicates the desired angle on the miter scale,
securely tighten the grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the
handle fully.
Securing workpiece (Fig. 15)
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the work-
piece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do
so can cause the machine to be damaged and/or the
workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO
NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a
complete stop.
Secure the turn base firmly at the position of the
desired miter angle. Position the vise arm according
to the thickness and shape of the workpiece and
secure the vise arm by tightening the screw. Press the
workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn
base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the clamp
screw.
Operation (Fig. 16 & 17)
When cutting with this machine, the thickness of the
blade is cut out of the workpiece as well. Therefore,
your cutting line should be on either the left or right
side of the groove in the kerf board. Switch on the
machine and wait until the blade attains full speed
before lowering gently into the cut. When the blade
contacts the workpiece, gradually bear down on the
handle to perform the cut. When the cut is completed,
switch off the machine and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE
HAS COME TO ACOMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position. A thin piece of
cut off material could otherwise contact the coasting
blade and be thrown around dangerously.
CAUTION:
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are
as high as the top surface level of the turn base.
Wood facing (Fig. 18)
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
CAUTION:
•
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood facing.
•
See the figure below concerning the dimensions for a suggested wood facing.
•
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide fence. The screws should be installed so that the screw
heads are below the surface of the wood facing.
•
When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn base with the handle lowered. The wood facing will
be damaged.
NOTE:
When the wood facing is attached, the max. cutting capacities in width (126 mm at 0°, 89 mm at 45°) will be
reduced by thickness of the wood facing.
