Good Working Practices/Safety
Primary Precautions
Work Place/Environment
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.
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.
These machine are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp. Plug and 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 tool inspected/repaired by a suitably qualifi ed 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 13 Amp plug 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.
Make sure when the machine is placed that it sits fi rmly on the fl oor, that it does not rock and is suffi ciently clear of adjacent obstacles so that cutting operations will not be impeded. Check you have adequate clearance both in front of and behind the machine when cutting long stuff. If you are liable to be processing unwieldy or awkward work pieces, it is suggested that you consider fastening the machine down to the fl oor.
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 set up in the open, and it starts to rain (unusual though this would be in U.K.), cover it up or move it into the dry. If the machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible with a cloth or paper towel. Do not use 230V a.c. powered machines anywhere within a site area that is fl ooded or puddled and do not trail extension cables across wet areas. Keep the machines 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.
It 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 all tools used in the setting operations (if any) and place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine.
Carry out a fi nal “tightness” check e.g. guide fence, table tilt, etc., check that the ‘cutting path’ (in this case the path that the work piece will travel) is unobstructed.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work; balanced, not reaching etc.
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate fl ying 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, hair net, even a sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the tool. 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 nonslip footwear, etc.
Do not work with cutting tools of any description if you are tired, your attention is wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fi ngertip or worse; is not worth it!
Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas of fl ammable 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 blades 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.
Above all, OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON
SENSE.
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 fi bre 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.
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 work piece 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 (with a piece of wood?) 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 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.

Adjusting the Rip Fence to the Blade
The fence assembly must be parallel to the saw blade for producing accurate cuts.
1. Remove the crown guard, raise the fence clamping
handle and slide the fence assembly up against the saw blade and check it reads “ZERO” on the fence rail, see fi g 84.
NOTE: If adjustment is required loosen the fi xings ONLY on the front fence rail and lightly tap the end of the rail until the marker reads ‘zero’ on the scale. Check the tables are still level by placing a stright edge across the front edge and adjust until correct.
Fig 84
NOTE: Use the ‘T’ slot to the right side of the saw blade as a reference to check the fence is parallel, see fi gs 85-86. Regularly check the fence is parallel to ensure a perfect cut.
ZERO marker

4. The rip fence extension can be repositioned from the vertical to a horizontal position for guiding thin timber pieces through. Loosen the two clamping handles holding the fence extension, remove, lay the fence extension down in the horizonal position and remount the fence extension as before,see fi g
87. Move the extension down until the end face is centred with the blade and tighten the two clamping handles to lock the assembly, see fi g 88.
Fig 87-88
Adjusting the Cutting Height
Adjust the blade height with the operating wheel (G6), see fi g 89, so that the blade teeth are protruding through the work piece.

If the blade is not cutting 100% true, the blade is out of alignment. Follow the instructions below on how to set the blade to the table.
1. Remove the blade crown guard and table insert, see fi g 93.
2. Loosen the four Hex screws (A), see fi gs 93-94.
3. Place a steel rule up-against one end of the blade
and take a measurement to the ‘T’ slots edge, see fi g
95.

and take a further reading, see fi g 96.
6. If there is any deviation between the measurements,adjust the blade assembly by moving each end on its rails (B) (beneath the table), see fi gs 97-98, until both ends of the blade are the same distance away from the ‘T’ slot edge.
7. Tighten the four Hex scews (A).
8. Replace the blade guard and table insert.

CONNECT THE SAW TO THE MAINS SUPPLY!
NOTE: BEFORE USING YOUR SAW, GO ROUND AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS SECURE, FASTENED DOWN, THAT ALL TOOLS ARE CLEARED AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA!
CHECK: THE BLADE FOR SHARPNESS,MISSING TEETH, RESIN BUILD UP ECT., CLEAN IF NECESSARY. CHECK THE BLADE IS SECURELY CLAMPED IN PLACE (I.E. NOT LOOSE)!
Give the machine a ‘quick’ burst check ( i.e. quick ON-OFF) to ensure everything is O.K. If everything is satisfactory, the table saw is ready for use.
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN!
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN THE WORK AREAS!
CONNECT A DUST EXTRACTON MACHINE TO THE DUST EXTRACTION OUTLET ON YOUR TABLE SAW!
Feeding the Work by Hand
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 fi gs 99-100.
Fig 99
NOTE: Secure larger pieces of timber to the table by using the clamp assembly (S), see fi g 73.
Cutting Narrow Pieces
Use the small fl at surface of the fence to cut thin timber narrower that 120mm, see fi g 87-88. Use a push stick.
The Mitre Fence
The mitre fence (D) can be mounted on either side of the saw blade in the two ‘T’ slots, pre machined into the saw table, see fi g 101. The mitre fence can be angled from 90˚ to 45˚ degrees , see fi g 102-103.

BLADE GUARD
1. Raise the saw blade to its highest point, remove the saw blade guard, remove the four Hex screws that secure the table insert, place carefully aside and remove the table insert, see fi g 104. Using the spanner provided, put the spanner onto the fl ats on the bolt and place a piece of timber up against the saw blade to stop it from moving, see fi g 105.
Fig 104
Hex screw
NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISTURB THE SHIMS BENEATH THE TABLE INSERT IF FITTED AS THE SHIMS ARE SET SO THE TABLE INSERT IS LEVEL WITH THE TABLE SURFACE!
2. Slacken off the saw bolt (remember right hand thread). Remove the saw bolt, then remove the
sawplate washer and the saw blade, see fi gs 106-107. It would be a good time to give the interior of the machine, the dust extraction channels, etc. a thorough clean.
3. Check the new blade for damage, missing teeth, sharpness etc. Fit the new blade, ensure that the teeth are pointing towards the front of the machine. Put the sawplate washer onto the shaft and twist on the saw bolt. Spin the bolt up fi nger tight and check the saw is correctly seated.
4. Place the piece of timber against the blade as before and tighten up the saw bolt, check the riving knife is aligned with the saw blade, and correctly positioned. Replace the table insert and secure with the four Hex screws. Replace the saw blade guard. When everything is satisfactory, turn the saw blade once by hand to check it doesn’t foul anywhere.
5. 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.

6. Check the old blade for sharpness, missing teeth, resin build up, 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 storage case.
Fig 106 Fig 107

1. 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.
2. 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 is becoming slack, loosen the motor hold down bolts and drive the motor backward with its adjusting bolt.
3. Check the saw blade regularly for chipped, missing, damaged teeth etc. and remove any resin build up from the blade, riving knife etc.
4. If you have fi nished using the saw bench, clean above and below the work table wipe the saw bench over. If the saw bench is not going to be used for a period of time, smear a light coat of suitable oil over the work table and place a dust sheet over the saw bench.
Every three or four months we recommend you use ‘Ambersil Dry PTFE Film Antistick’ spray to lubricate the blade and tilt, rise and fall screw threads.
