Installing Extension Tables 1. Mount the right extension tables to the edge of the cast iron table (Figure 5) with two M8 x 25 cap screws and two M8 flat washers. Do not tighten yet. 2. Level the extension table surface to that of the cast iron table, then firmly tighten screws. 3. Mount the left table extension (Figure 6) with two M8 x 20 cap screws and two M8 flat washers to the cast iron table. Then Figure 5 mount the top of the two braces (Figure 6) to the table with two M6 fl

Installing Guide Bar 1. Mount the scale (Figure 9) to the edge of the cast iron table with three M8 x 30 socket head screws, M8 flat washers, and spacers. 2. Mount the cylindrical steel guide bar to the edge of the cast iron table, using the four M12 hex nuts and flat washers. 3. The outside edge of the bar along its entire length should be approximately 2-1/2" from the table, to allow for smooth movement of the fence.

Installing Miter Fence Mount the miter fence assembly as shown in Figure 13. Tighten the rod (A, Figure 13) with the provided pin into the stationary T-nut. NOTE: Do not move the stationary T-nut; it has been calibrated with the angle scale. Screw the large lock lever (B, Figure 13) down into the other T-nut. Loosen the small lock levers and slide the aluminum fence (C, Figure 13) on to the assembly as shown. The adjustable stop can be Figure 13 mounted to the fence if desired for

5. Unlock the nut (NOTE: Left hand threads – loosen by turning clockwise). 6. Make sure the set screws in the adaptor are set flush on the blade side. (They should protrude to the rear to engage the arbor for positive drive). See Figure 16. Clean the mating surfaces, install new blade, and tighten arbor nut securely. 7. Remove locking pin (B, Figure 15) and close blade cover. SAFETY TIP: Tape a red rag on the locking pin and drape it over the blade while pin is inserted. Figure 16

Do not remove the riving knife for saw operations. For slotting or grooving, the riving knife has to be adjusted in such a way that the upper part of the riving knife is never set lower than the highest sawtooth in use. Starting the Machine NOTE: The machine will not start if the blade cover or the rear door is open. When starting in Star-Delta mode, proceed as follows (Figure 19): 1 – Turn Main Switch to position "I". Figure 19 2 – Turn Star-Delta switch into star

Adjustments Sliding Table Parallel to Blade The position of the sliding table relative to the machine is factory set, but should be checked periodically as the saw receives use. To ensure a clean cut, the sliding table must be set parallel to the saw blade. If adjustment is ever needed, proceed as follows: 1. The bolts (B, Figure 20) are used to adjust the height of the sliding table. They are pre- Figure 20 set at the factory. 2. Use bolts (A, Figure 20) to correct parallelism be

When bevel cutting, make sure the appropriate blade guard has been mounted before operating the saw. Sliding Table Lock When loading panels and when cutting using the rip fence, the sliding table should be locked. To lock the sliding table, pull lever (Figure 24) into one of the slots in the sliding table. Over a long period of time, if many short movements of the sliding table are made (e.g. Figure 24 crosscutting solid wood) then it is possible that the ball carrier between the u

4. Record the measurement in the sight glass. 5. Add 2” to this measurement and slide out the extension until the new measurement is read at the end of the fixed fence (Figure 28). NOTE: Be careful to set this correctly, because the scale on the sliding fence reads opposite the scale on the fixed fence. 6. Lock the extension fence to this new measurement by tightening the knob underneath. 7. With a 3mm hex wrench, loosen the set Figure 28 screws underneath the short movable fence

Miter Fence The flat T-nut which holds the vertical rod of the clamp is factory set and must remain in its position to make the angle scale correspond. 1. To set the required angle, loosen the rod (A, Figure 32) with the provided pin as shown. Loosen the large lever (B, Figure 32). 2. To slide the fence (C, Figure 32) toward or away from the saw blade, unlock the two smaller levers. 3. Reading the angle is done at the edge of the Figure 32 aluminum bracket. An adjustable stop can

Loosen the three screws on the scale (Figure 35) and nudge the scale until it matches the cut measurement. Make another cut to confirm the measurement. To avoid the fence contacting the rotating saw blade, the stop ring must be adjusted. Slide the fence to about 10mm from the saw blade. Slide the stop ring across the round guide bar until it comes up against the casting of the fence. Tighten the set screw on the stop ring. Figure 35 Tensioning the Belt To tension the belt on the
