AW10BSB2,AW12BSB2 Saw Bench

Axminster Tool Centre, Unit 10 Weycroft Avenue, Axminster, Devon EX13 5PH

www.axminster.co.uk

The Axminster AW10BSB2 and AW12BSB2 Saw Benches are robust machines, constructed largely from cast iron and heavy gauge steel. The 254mm or 315mm blades give a choice of cutting depth of 75mm or 100mm, and are amply powered by a 2.2kW or 3kW 1ph induction motors. The cast iron table gives great strength and rigidity as well as providing a smooth working surface. A full length rip fence, locks onto rails at the front and back of the table, and is also equiped with a micro positioning adjustment ensuring straight rip cuts. A mitre fence slides in a T slot groove in the table either side of the blade. Both the blade height and tilt controls are conveniently located and lock in position. A pressed steel rear feedoff table is also supplied. Dust extraction is provided on both the crown guard and under the blade for efficient dust control, a 1,000 m3/hr extractor is recommended. As supplied, these machines are compact in size but ready for work in the home or light trade workshop. Further options are available. 1, a kit of two cast iron extension tables that can be fitted either one each side or both to the right of the blade, complete with longer fence rails, and 2, a fully functioning sliding table kit to allow large board materials to be cut. When both options are fitted this saw bench becomes a very useful machine for most jobs in the workshop.

The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.

Good Working Practices/Safety

WARNING!

KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

Primary Precautions

The machines are supplied with a moulded 16 Amp plug (AW10BSB2) and 16 Amp plug (AW12BSB2) with a 3 core power cable. Before using the machine inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible, have the damaged item inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to

use an 'unbreakable' type that will resist damage on site. Only use a 16 Amp plug, (AW10BSB2) and 16 Amp plug (AW12BSB2) and make sure the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that is required for your machine.

The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet. If the machine is to be used outside and it starts to rain, stop work and move it inside. If machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel.

DO NOT use 230V ac powered machines anywhere within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and do not trail extension cables across wet areas.

KEEP the machine clean; it will enable you to more easily see any damage that may have occurred.

CLEAN the machine with a damp soapy cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause

damage to any plastic parts or to the electrical components.

KEEP the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material.

General Instructions for 230V Machines

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN

BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS

t is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to commence work, remove any tools used in the setting operations and place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine. It is also recommended that you use switched supply outlets.

Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool, drill bit, saw blade etc., is securely tightened in the machine, check you have the correct speed and function set, check that the cutting path of the timber is unobstructed, etc.

Most machines these days are fitted with NVR contact switches so that machines cannot remain inadvertently switched 'ON'. However, it is a good habit to train yourself to check that the machine is not 'switched on' prior to connecting the mains supply, in case you happen to be using one of the older machines.

Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc.,

If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc., If the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught

up in the rotating parts of the machine, likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a 'snag' hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc.

DO NOT work with cutting or boring machines of any description if you are tired, your attention is wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fingertip or worse; is not worth it!

DO NOT use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised machines for working in these areas,

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

CHECK that cutters, drills, blades etc., are the correct

type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.

If possible always fit dust extraction to machines that are producing high rates of sawdust, shavings, chips etc.

Above all, OBSERVE.... make sure you know what is

happening around you, and USE YOUR COMMON

SENSE.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY THIS MACHINE IS DESIGNED TO CUT TIMBER AND TIMBER DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE FOR ANY OTHER MATERIALS.

Specification

Please read through the Section entitled Parts identification and Description, this will enable you to more readily identify those parts of the saw to which we will be referring.

951537 10" and 951540 12" Saw Bench Assembly (Box 1 of 2)

Please note. Some of this assembly procedure is best accomplished by two persons. Although the tasks are not impossible, some of the items are heavy and awkward, and a mishandling error could cause injury. Please think about what you are doing, your capabilities and your personal safety. We have added the 'two person symbol' to any operation that we recommend should be a two person task.

You will require: A pozi screwdriver in addition to the tools supplied.

Initial Assembly

Unpack all the boxes and check all the components against the "Part’s Index". If any parts or components are missing, please contact our customer services department using the procedures and telephone numbers listed in our catalogue, and you will be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Please note: that, on occasion, the packing list is not strictly adhered to, please check all the boxes, packets etc, to make sure that all the parts have been accounted.

PLEASE RECYCLE ANY UNWANTED

PACKAGING RESPONSIBLY

Saw Body Assembly

Having unpacked the boxes, put the parts and components where they are readily to hand. Break down the main box by knocking the sides away (be careful of exposed nails etc.), but leave the machine sitting on its pallet. Identify the short rear panel with the dust extraction cutout (2), locate the dust extraction moulding (4) and fit to the panel using the nuts and bolts provided. (See fig 1) (The orientation of the moulding should leave the 30mm outlet pointing upwards i.e. pointing up the long length of the panel). Put the panel aside, and locate the lower leg columns (3) and 4 No. M8 x 20 (5B) bolts, nuts and double washers. Fix the lower legs to the upper legs using a washered bolt through the legs and secure with washer and nut, only turn the nuts

up finger tight at this time. (See fig 2) Locate the extention table (), table support brackets (7), steel clamping plates (8) and 4 No. M8 x 20mm caphead bolts and washers (9A).

PLEASE NOTE: the manufacturer has fitted adjusting bolts to the brackets, these are the faces that back against the legs.

Offer the clamping plates (8) up to the inside face of the legs (3), fasten the brackets using washered bolts (9A) through the bracket and the leg into the clamping plate. Tighten the bolts finger tight only at this time.

When everything is tightened up, the machine can now be tipped over, towards its blind face until it is resting on the pallet with its legs on the floor. Lift the machine upright. (See figs 13-14)

Blind face

Locate the table and the other 4 No. M8 caphead bolts and washers (9A). Mount the table onto the brackets, Note: that the securing bolts need to feed through the elongated holes in the bracket (7). (the extension table is spaced off the main table to allow clearance for the rear clamping rail and the rip fence). Leave all bolts finger tight at this time.

Fig 15

Fig 16

Elongated holes

Locate the two hand wheels (10). Fit the hand wheels onto the shafts for the tilt mechanism drive and the rise and fall mechanism. (See figs 17-18-19-20)

Note: the square key slots on the shafts, align the holding grubscrews with these slots. Tighten securely. Check their security by raising and lowering and tilting the saw blade.

Fitting Kickplate

Locate the kickplate (3A) and 4 No: M8 x 16mm bolts and washers (5C), line-up the pre-drilled holes in the kickplate with the threaded holes in the lower leg columns (3) and secure using the bolts and washers. (See fig 21)

Saw Guard Assembly

Locate the Riving Knife (14), remove the 5 screws that secure the saw gullet, place both carefully aside. (See fig 22) Raise the saw blade up to its highest point.

NOTE: The mounting plate for the riving knife has been factory set to ensure that the riving knife is aligned with the blade. DO NOT alter the setting bolts.

Initial Assembly

Introduce the slot in the riving knife (14) over the two centre line bolts, behind the washers and nip the bolts to just hold the riving knife against the mounting plate. Set the riving knife so it is close to the blade, (gap about 2-3mm if possible). Tighten the clamping bolts securely. (See figs 23-

24) Replace the saw gullet.

Fig 23

Fig 24

2.3mm gap

Mounting plate

Locate the saw hood guard (13), the 30mm extraction hose (17) and the 50mm jubilee clips (16). There are two fastenings in the guard, a Phillips screw/nut at the rear and a coach bolt/knob just in front of it. Introduce the phillips screw into the 'L' shaped slot in the riving knife and push it down and back so the screw is locked into the slot. Lower the guard so the clamping bolt fits into the curved slot in the riving knife. (See fig 25-26) Tighten the clamping knob to pinch the guard to the riving knife and hold it in position. (See fig 27)

Fig 25

Fig 26

Clamping knob

Push the jubilee clips (16) over the ends of the hose (17), push the hose onto the dust extraction outlet on the guard and the main dust extraction moulding (4) and tighten the clips to hold it in place. (See figs 28-29)

Initial Assembly

Fig 29

Fig 30

There is no requirement to remove the guard. The profile of the riving knife precludes the use of the saw for slotting or grooving, and the maximum depth of cut can be achieved with the guard in place.

NOTE: The positioning of the extraction hose could be a nuisance if you are cutting big boards, in such a case it is better to remove the hosing from the guard, then there is less risk getting the workpiece snagged and perhaps 'slewing' on the saw.

951537 10" and 951540 12" Saw Bench (Box 2 of 2)

Fig 31

Fig 32

Locate the M8 x 25mm SQUARE head bolts washers and nuts (24B). The best way to fit the rails is to introduce the bolts through the holes in the front and rear edges of the tables, hold in position by adding the washer and fitting the nut a couple of turns onto the bolt. (See figs 30-31)

Rip Fence Assembly

Fig 33

Fig 34

Select the front short rip fence guide rail (22), introduce the square head of the furthest right hand bolt into the channel in the extrusion; slide the rail along the front of the machine picking up all the bolt heads as you go along. (See fig 32) Reach under the table edge and lightly tighten all the nuts. (See fig 33) Repeat the process for the back rail (23). (See fig 34)

24B

Initial Assembly

Locate the capping plates for the front rail (24D) and using the self tapping screws (24E), securein place. (See fig 35) Set the front rail in position, remembering that it must be slightly inside the front left hand edge of the main saw table, so that the sliding table does not collide with it. Tighten ONLY the 3 bolts in the main saw table. Repeat the process for the back rail.

Fig 35

Fig 36

Locate the Rip Fence assembly (20),fit the rip fence assembly to the saw by ensuring the clamping lug at the rear of the fence is hooked over the back rail (23), lower the fence and manoeuvre the bracket over the front guide rail (22). (See fig 36)

Micro-Adjuster Assembly

Tighten the Phillips screws securely

Fig 37

Fig 38

Locate the Micro-Adjustor (25) there are two Phillips screws through the adjustor mounting bracket with square nuts on them. Ensure the nuts are undone sufficiently to allow them to slide into the channel in the Rip Fence mounting bracket, position as required, normally slightly to the right of the rip fence, (See figs 37-38) and tighten the screws securely.

Capping plate

Fig 39

Fig 40

Locate the capping plates for the Rip Fence Mounting Bracket (24C) and fit carefully using the self tapping screws. (See figs 39-40)

Locate the Mitre Fence and Extension (11), loosen the clamping screw knobs on the extension and slot each into the slot recesses on the mitre fence, tighten to clamp the extension in place. (See fig 46) Introduce the nose of the bar (12) into the required ‘T’ slot in the main table. (See fig

47)

Note: With the rear extension table fitted it is not possible to push the small mitre fence completely through. However, the travel is such that the fence is able to travel well past the cutting edge of the saw.

Initial Assembly

THE EXTENSION TABLES ARE VERY HEAVY YOU WILL

REQUIRE A SECOND PERSON TO HELP

951538 10" and 951541 12" Table Extension Kits (Box 1 of 2)

Select one of the extension tables (26), locate four M8 x 30mm hexhead bolts and washers (30). Ensure the table is correctly orientated (the front edge of the table is bevelled). Stand the back end of the table on the floor, close to the front and edge of the main saw table (1), with the underside of the table facing the front of the saw. Lift the table up and introduce a washered bolt through the first hole in the table and screw it into the first threaded hole along the main table edge.

Fig 48

Fig 49

Fig 50

Fig 51

Screw the bolt in until it is almost home. You can now relax the lifting effort. The extension will hang pivoted on the bolt. Carefully lift the bottom end of the extension up until the edges are level and introduce a washered bolt through the rear hole and the last threaded hole in the table edge, screw it almost home. The extension should be hanging approximately in its correct position held by the two bolts. Introduce and almost screw home the other two washered bolts. Using a level, align the top and front edges at the front of the saw, nip the front bolt to hold the extension in place; carefully manoeuvre the rear of the extension to align the two top edges and 'nip' the rear bolt. Check this movement has not disturbed the alignment at the front of the table, if it has, repeat the procedure until the front and top edges are aligned. Tightened all the bolts securely. (See figs 48-49-50 and 51) Repeat using the other extension table (26) for the opposite side of the saw bench (1).

The Left extension table (26) can be repositioned to the end of the right extension table to create a large surface area, in doing so it also freeʼs up the space to attach the sliding table assembly (order no: 951539).

First remove the rip fence assembly (20) and place safely aside, loosen both rip fence rails (33-34) and slide them to the right. Undo the four M8 x 30mm hex bolts and remove the left table. Attach the left table to the right table using the four M8 x 30mm bolts,washers and nuts as before, (WARNING: YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE NUTS IS FULLY ENGAGED ON THE

BOLTS BY SERVERAL TURNS, BEFORE RELAXING THE LIFTING EFFORT). Tighten all the bolts securely. (See fig 54)

Locate the table support leg (27), the threaded rubber foot (28) and two M8 x 20mm hex bolts, washers and nuts (31). Line up the two middle holes to outside edge of the table with the pre-drilled holes in the support leg bracket (27) and fasten securely using the M8 bolts, washers and nuts. (See figs 55-56)

Locate and identify the mounting brackets (36) and the height adjustor blocks (52) (in Box 2 of2). These are mounted on the outside faces of the upper chassis legs. They are anchored against clamping plates (37) that are behind the face of the legs.

NOTE: These clamping plates are 'loose items', each is initially held in place by three M10 x 19mm hex bolts (40A). Unscrew the caphead bolt in the height adjustor block (52), see fig 64, until the recessed hole for the caphead bolt (40A) is clear, fit it through the height adjustor block and screw it back into its position. Screw it almost home. Next fit a caphead bolt through the top hole of the bracket (36), and with the bracket tilted to one side, screw it back into its position. (See figs 62-63 and 65)

Screw the adjusting caphead bolt back through the block until it touches the lower face of the mounting bracket (36). (See fig 66) Nip the securing bolts for the mounting bracket. Fit the other bracket in the same way. NOTE: When screwing the adjusting bolt back through the block, set it to leave the brackets at approximately the same height. (See fig 67)

Unscrew the slide rail assembly lift and shift handles (A) so that the square clamps have plenty of movement.

Mounting Bracket/Adjuster Block Assembly

Initial Assembly

Locate the slide rail assembly (50), orientate it so that the longest rail is at the top, and the channels etc., of the extrusion are underneath. Offer it up to the front bracket (36) and introduce the square clamp into the main channel in the extrusion. The two open channels should fit over the guide lands on the bracket face. Slide the assembly forward and repeat the procedure with the rear bracket. Slide the assembly forward until it is set approximately equi-distant about the brackets; tighten the lift and shift lever handles (A) to 'pinch' the slide assembly (50) in place. (See figs 68-69 and 70)

Setting the Sliding Tables

NOTE 1. With the bracket fixing bolts in a loose condition ensure that the slide rail assembly is

clamped flat to the brackets. Retighten the fixing bolts finger tight.

NOTE 2. The slide rail mounting brackets (36) can be moved up and down within the slotted fixing holes, using the height adjuster blocks (52) and 'tilted' forward or backward using the adjusting bolts in the frames, see fig 89 adjacent to the fixing bolts. REMEMBER to slacken the fixing bolts (A) off if you are adjusting the height, or carrying out a dramatic alteration, otherwise you may stress the bracket casting (36); loosen or tighten the adjacent fixing bolt (B) if you are adjusting the bracket 'tilt'. REMEMBER also that the final 'tighten' of the fixing bolts may alter the setting slightly. Re-check all settings after the final tightening. (See figs 86-87-88-89)

PLEASE ENSURE THAT BY NOW, THE SAW BENCH IS PLACED IN ITS WORKING LOCATION IN THE WORKSHOP.

Place a long straight edge (as long as ext. table plus 2/3 metres main saw table min.) along one long edge of the rear table and along the main table.

NOTE: The rear extension table brackets (7) can

be moved up and down within the slotted fixing holes (A), and tilted forward or backward using the adjusting bolts (B) in the frames adjacent to the fixing bolts. Remember to loosen or tighten the adjacent fixing bolt if you are moving an adjusting bolt. (See figs 84-85)

Make sure all the fixing bolts are generally finger tight. Set the near corner of the table to the straight edge, by pushing, pulling, tapping etc. Nip the securing bolts. Move the straight edge to the other edge of the extension table, repeat the procedure. Now, if necessary, adjust the tilt to bring the far corner up to the straight edge, tapping the near edge down (or up), if

necessary. Move the straight edge back to the original edge and repeat the procedure. When the table is set tighten the fixing bolts securely. THEN check the table again. Repeat any part of the procedure if necessary.

Place the straight edge across the saw table (1) and the two extension table (26). (There may be some slight sag at the outer most edge of the tables due to their weight). If there is any falling off adjust the table support leg (27) to correct this. When you are satisfied that the main table and the side extension tables are in plane tighten the remaining four bolts that secure the front and rear rails.

Setting the Machine

The overall setting process is done in 3 phases. 1) Setting the table level against the main table; front and rear. 2) Setting the sliding table/main table gap, to ensure a parallel feed. 3) Raising the sliding table slightly proud of the main table. The reason it is done in this manner and this order, is that phases 1) and 2) are interactive e.g. tilting the sliding table to bring it level can change the gap between the two tables, (See fig

90) whereas if the tables are set level a uniform adjustment to the brackets, should not alter the level, merely the gap. (See figs 90 & 91) The final phase is only a 'jacking' exercise and should not affect the previous settings.

Make sure all the fixing bolts are generally finger tight.

Place a level across the main and the sliding tables to check both are level

Place a level in the horizontal position on the sliding table and adjust until it’s level

Setting the Machine

Set the sliding table so that the front edge is inline with the front edge of the saw table. Place a long straight edge (a bit more than twice the width of the sliding table) along the front edges of the two tables. Set the near corner of the table to the straight edge.

Move the table and the straight edge to the rear of the MAIN table. Set the rear corner to the straight edge. Adjust the table to bring it level under the straight edge. Move the table and the straight edge back to the front of the main table and check the table is level; adjust if necessary. Once you are satisfied, and all the bolts are now 'nipped', slide the table back and forth and check the gap between the sliding table and the main table.

It should be approximately 2-3mm and uniform alongside the main table. Adjust as necessary, making uniform adjustments of the bolts in each bracket. Again, when you are satisfied; jack the table up by screwing both the height adjusting bolts up approximately

/4 turn (See figs 92-93). This will raise the table by something less than a millimetre and will reduce the drag of the workpiece at the main table edge, giving easier, more controllable movement. Check all bolts are tightened up, recheck all your settings.

Setting the Machine

Raise the blade to its maximum height, check that is upright to the table. Set the sliding table fence to zero angle against the preset post. Slacken the two fence mounting bolts (A) and slide the fence up close to the saw blade. Fasten the two mounting bolts again. (See fig 94-95)

Using a known 90˚ square place it against the fence and the blade (not on the teeth), and check that the angle is correct, if not, adjust the preset post on the Mitre Angle Rear Quadrant. (See figs 95-96) This preset post is a small eccentric cam mounted on the shaft of a caphead bolt. By loosening the bolt and turning the head of the post with a spanner, the position of the stop can be altered. (See fig 96)

Check the angle again, continue to check and adjust until it is correct. Pivot the fence to the 45˚stop. Using a mitre square, check the angle. Repeat the procedure as previously. Reset the saw to zero angle.

Loosen the fence mounting bolts (A), slide the nose of the fence (the orange tongue) up to the blade, secure. Check the parallelism of the sliding table movement by sliding the table forward and checking the tongue/blade are still in contact, or that the movement has not jammed the tongue against the saw. If there is a slight discrepancy, it may be acceptable to you (a 1mm difference across the face of the blade, see fig 97 (fully extended) is about one quarter of a degree and pro rata. If not, or the discrepancy is too large, the slide rail assembly will need to be re-adjusted, to achieve a parallel motion. Set the distance stop to a predetermined measurement against the inset scale. Loosen the fence mounting bolts (A) and using a tape or a distance piece set the fence so that the saw blade to stop is that measurement. Tighten the mounting bolts securely.

Setting the Angle Fence to the Saw Blade

Setting the Machine

Tilt the blade fully over. Using a mitre square, set the angle of the saw to 45˚. Check that the index mark gives a corresponding reading against the scale. Adjust the pointer if necessary. Reset the blade upright, check that the angle scale reading is correct. (See figs 98-99)

Set the rip fence a predetermined distance from the saw blade and lock in position. Check that the rip fence is held securely when it is locked in position. If the locking appears a little 'slack' adjust the position of the clamping lug at the rear of the rip fence by tightening the nut. (A) Check that the preset distance corresponds to the measurement on the scale against the index mark in the magnifying lens. If not, adjust the position of the rip fence on its mounting bracket.

Check that the index mark gives a corresponding reading against the scale.

Setting the Rip Fence (See figs 102-103)

Check that the fence (20) is parallel to the saw blade by sliding it up against it. If the fence is out of alignment loosen the (short or long) rip fence rails and adjust until correct, tighten the bolt.

NOTE: Lubricate the fence rails and the underside of the rip fence clamp assembly (20) with a ptfe dry lubricant, so the fence assembly runs smoothly back and forth.

Fit the small mitre fence (11) to the machine. Loosen the clamping handle (A).

NOTE: There are 3 preset positions available with the small mitre fence. +45˚, 0˚, and -45˚, these are achieved using lugs in the casting and a push/pull pin against which the lugs are stopped. The pin has to be fully withdrawn to allow the fence to pivot from one side to the other.

Set the face to zero angle using the preset position. Check that the angle is correct (and the lug is on the correct side of the pin). Check that the indexing pointer gives the correct reading against the scale. Adjust the pointer if necessary. Check left and right positions. Check the pointer is still correct. If the preset positioning is wrong, set the fence with a square/mitre gauge, set the pointer accurately against the scale and clamp the fence in position without recourse to the presets. Remove the small mitre fence from the table and stow carefully aside. (See figs 104-105)

Specific Instructions/Precautions for the Saw Bench

Connect the machine to the mains supply, lift the switch shroud and give the machine a quick burst. i.e. On/Off. Check that everything is sound and feels O.K. (No knocking, scraping, belt squeal, rubbing etc.,)

Give the machine a longer run, and 'SLAP' the Emergency switch shroud down. Check that this gives a fast and easy method of switching the machine off, without searching for the stop switch button.

When you are happy that everything seems O.K. switch the machine off, disconnect from the mains supply. Locate the two upper side panels and their fixing bolts and secure them in place.

Make sure the saw blade is the correct type for the job in hand.

Do not force the saw, if the saw begins to stall you are forcing the cut or over working the saw.

Ensure that the saw blade is clean and sharp. Resin build up on the blades will increase the friction of the saw passing through the timber, and cause over heating of the blade, blunt teeth will work harder tearing the fibre of the timber as opposed to shearing it, also with subsequent overheating. Both faults unnecessarily load the machine beyond normal usage, and shorten its longevity.

Do not use blades that are deformed in any way.

Do not remove the blade guard. The design of the riving knife on the machine will not allow for slotting or blind grooving, so there is no reason to remove the guard. There is adequate clearance under the guard for the capacity of the machine (75mm).

Do not remove the riving knife. Do not use any blades that cut a smaller kerf than the riving knife thickness.

Make sure the riving knife is correctly adjusted to the blade and is securely fastened.

If the table insert becomes damaged or broken, and will not support the timber 'up close' to the blade, replace it.

Do not start the saw with the workpiece touching the blade. Do not commence sawing until the blade has run up to full speed.

After switching off, never try to slow the saw down more quickly by applying side pressure to the blade. Apply the old joiner's adage of never getting hands within one handbreadth of the blade. Leave the machine disconnected from the mains supply until you are about to commence work. Always disconnect the machine if you are leaving it unattended.

Never leave the vicinity of the machine unless the blade has come to a complete stop.

Do not attempt to carry out any maintenance, corrective work, setting up etc., unless the machine is disconnected from the mains supply.

If any tools have been used during setting up procedures, make sure they are removed from the machine and stowed safely away.

Do not attempt to carry out cross cutting operations freehand, always use the mitre fence for small stuff and the sliding carriage for larger work pieces.

Unless you are an experienced machine operator, do not attempt to rip freehand, always use the guiding facility of the rip fence. It is perfectly acceptable to support guide and feed the timber with your hands whilst ripping stuff of some length, however, as you approach

Specific Instructions/Precautions for the Saw Bench

Operating Instructions

the blade ensure that the push stick is to hand, and you use it.

Remember the emphasis of the push should be between the blade and the fence and close to the fence. Use your free hand to support and guide the material on the offside of the saw blade and at least 100mm away from it. If the timber does not extend to at least 100mm to the offside of the saw blade, the material possibly? does not need guiding or supporting.

Check (especially on site), that there are no

foreign objects e.g. old nails, screws, small stones etc embedded in the material you are about to cut. If necessary take a wire brush to the timber before working.

If you are being assisted whilst using the saw (by a take off or support number, remember there is only one sawyer at a machine, and they stand in front of it. The assistant does not push, pull, guide etc., unless specifically asked or instructed to do so by the sawyer.

NOTE: Before using your table saw, go round and make sure everything is secure, down, that all tool, are cleared away from the work area.

CHECK the blade for sharpness, missing teeth, resin buildup, etc., clean if necessary CHECK the blade is securely clamped in place. (i.e. not loose).

Feeding Work by Hand

CONNECT A DUST EXTRACTION VACUUM TO THE SAW

Start up the saw, wait until it has reached full speed and slowly feed the timber through using both handles, (making sure to keep your hands well clear of the blade and using a push stick for small pieces), until the timber is behind the riving knife. Switch off the saw, wait until the blade has come to a complete stop and remove the timber. (See figs 108-109).

Fig 108

Fig 109

NOTE: Secure larger pieces of timber to the table by using the clamp assembly (38), see page 23.

Use the small flat surface of the fence (21) to cut thin timber narrower that 120mm. (Use a push stick).

Changing the Saw Blade

Maintenance

Tighten up the saw nut, using the tommy bar to hold the shaft steady. Check the riving knife is aligned with the saw blade, and correctly positioned. Replace the table insert and secure with the 5 screws. Replace the saw blade guard. When everything is satisfactory, turn the saw blade once by hand to check it doesn't foul anywhere. Reconnect the machine to the mains supply. Give the machine a

'quick' burst check ( i.e. quick ON-OFF) to ensure everything is O.K. If everything is satisfactory, continue to use the machine. Check the old blade for sharpness, missing teeth, resin buildup, etc., clean if necessary and send for refurbishment/resharpening if required. If the blade is not to be re-sharpened, clean and pack away in its stowage case.

Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust build up as is practical. Periodically, remove the saw gullet and vacuum out and clean out the saw box and the extraction housing. Remove any resin build up in the saw box, using a proprietary resin cleaner.

Remove the upper side panels and clean the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall and tilt mechanisms. At the same time check the belt drive, i.e. the belt is not 'glazing' with resin build up, likewise with the pulley wheels. Check the belt tension. If the belt (A) is becoming slack, loosen the motor hold down bolts (B) and drive the motor

backward with its adjusting bolt (C). (See figs 116-

117) Check the saw blade regularly for chipped, missing, damaged teeth etc. and remove any resin build up from the blade, riving knife etc.

If you have finished using the saw bench, clean above and below the work table and using a damp cloth wipe the saw bench over. If the saw bench is not going to be used for a period of time, use a rustproofing spray (see our catalogue), spray a light coat over the work table and place a dust sheet over the saw bench.
