Noise emission.

Notes concerning noise emission: Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it is not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount of time exposed, the characteristics of the working environment, other sources of dust and noise, etc. For example, adjacent machines, in other words, affect the level of ambient noise. It is possible that exposure level limits will vary from country to country.

It connects to the bottom of the trunnion assembly and collects the sawdust as it leaves the blade. There is a 1 1/2 inch pipe to low connection to the blade guard. You will need a dust collection system with a minimum of 1,000 cubic feet per minute (the stronger the better).

Jointer/planer dust port.

The jointer/planer dust port is part of the yellow cutter guard and will take a 4inch dust hose. You will need a dust collection system with a minimum of 1,000 cubic feet per minute (the stronger the better).

Trunnion.

The trunnion assembly is attached to the table. It is of heavy cast iron construction. It houses the motor, saw spindle, riving knife, tilt mechanism, scoring mechanism and vertical movement adjustment. This is the heart for your saw.

14

Electrical system.

The electrical system consists of electrical motors, start switch, stop switch and contactors. A cable is supplied but may not be fitted with a plug, as the type of plug will depend on your installation. If you require a longer cable than the one supplied, the cable that is supplied can be replaced by connecting a new cable to the contactor box (see electrical connection).

Throat plate.

The throat plate is attached to the main table.

Miter fence.

The miter fence is manufactured from heavy-duty gauge aluminium extrusion.

It is supplied with a flip stop. It can be set at any angle and has built-in stop for 90 and 45 degrees. It is supplied with an adjustable flip stop and can be extended.

Where to locate your machine.

Before you remove your machine from the pallet, select the area where you will use your machine. There are no hard and fast rules for its location, but below are a few guidelines: 1. There should be an area surrounding the machine suitable for the length of wood that you will be cutting.

2. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting the more accurately and safely you will be able to work 3. Solid floor. You should select a solid, flat floor, preferably concrete or something similar.

4. Locate close to power source and dust collection.

5. Allow an area for the storage of blanks and cut jobs.

15

Unpacking your machine.

1. Dismantle the box and lift the box off the pallet.

2. Using the knife, cut the plastic wrap.

3. Remove all the parts that have been packed with the machine.

4. Remove the machine from the pallet with a forklift.

Note: If you have any doubt about the described procedure, seek professional assistance. Do not attempt any procedure that you feel is unsafe or that you do not have

the physical capability of achieving.

Cleaning the machine.

Remove the rust protection grease with WD 40 or a similar solvent.

It is important that you remove all the grease and re-lubricate with a Teflon-based lubricant because Teflon has less tendency to attract sawdust and cause clogging. You should also wax the table, as this also protects the cast iron from rust and reduces friction.

Note. The machine may not be supplied with an electrical plug, as the type of plug will be dependent on the installation.

A qualified electrician must carry out the electrical installation.

If a longer cable than that supplied is required, the following wire sizes are recommended. Cable size 10.3 gauge for runs of up to 20 ft. For longer runs up to 50 ft, use cable 8-3 gauge. Recommended breaker size Electrical control box is 30 amps.

If a longer cable is required, it must be terminated in the junction box located inside the machine.

Machine electrical control switches.

Never access the electrical control box with the machine connected to the power.

Before starting the machine.

1. Read and understand the instruction manual before operating the saw.

2. If you are still not thoroughly familiar with the operation of the saw, get advice from a qualified person.

3. Make sure the machine is properly grounded and that the wiring codes are followed.

4. Do not operate the machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicine or if tired.

5. Always wear eye protection, safety glasses or a safety shield, and hearing protection.

6. Wear a dust mask. Long-term exposure to the fine dust is not healthy.

7. Remove your tie, rings, watch and all jewelry. Roll up your sleeves and never wear loose clothing. You do not want anything to get caught in the blades or cutters.

8. Make sure that the guards are in place and use them at all times. The guards protect you from coming in contact with the blade/cutters.

9. Make sure that the saw blade teeth point in the correct direction.

10. Stop the machine before removing the scrap piece from the table.

32

11. Always keep your hands and fingers away from the blade or cutters.

Before you cut any wood, read the safety rules at the front of this manual.

Fit the dust extraction hose.

Fit a 4-inch dust extraction hose between the machine and your dust extractor.

Note. You will need a dust collection system with a minimum of 1,000-cubicfeet-per-minute capacity. The stronger the dust collection, the better, as the machine is capable of producing a lot of waste.

35

Using and adjusting the machine.

Adjustments.

Note. The machine has had all its functions calibrated at the factory, but some movement may have taken place due to shipping conditions. This is unavoidable, and it is recommended that the following checks are made prior to starting production. As the machine is used, some functions may move and it is, therefore, good practice to know the process for adjusting the machine prior to production.

Sliding table adjustments.

The sliding table is locked in position with a spring-loaded lock pin that aligns with a hole when the table is level with the end of the carriage.

Spring-loaded lock pin Vertical jacking bolts Sliding table clamp bolts

Side stop bolt

The sliding table comes factory set, but should adjustment be required, below is the procedure: Sliding table adjustment for parallel with the saw blade .

The table must run parallel with the saw blade. The gap between the edge of the sliding table and the table is not important. To check if the table is running true, clamp a piece of wood (1 in x 1 in or 2 in x 2 in) to the table. Cut the wood slowly. The teeth of the saw blade should make contact with the front and the back of the blade evenly.

If the table is not cutting parallel, adjust as follows.

Note. Only adjust one end of the sliding table.

1. Loosen the sliding table clamp bolt.

2. Loosen the lock nut on the side stop bolt and adjust the side stop bolt either in or out, depending on the adjustment required. Tighten the lock nut.

36

3. With the sliding table tight against the side stop bolt, tighten the sliding table clamp bolt. Tighten the lock nut.

4. Recheck if the table is running parallel as described earlier and readjust if required.

Note. It is recommended that adjustments are carried out in small increments, and you will find that it is quicker to use small adjustments rather than trying to adjust in one big step.

Adjusting the sliding table level with the main table.

Using a straight edge, check that the sliding table is level with the main table. (The main table should be 0 in to 0.004 inch lower than the sliding table.) The table comes factory set, but should adjustment be required, jacking screws are provided in the black steel block.

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the clamp bolt and the jacking bolts.

2. Loosen the clamp bolt.

3. Adjust the jacking bolts either up or down, depending on the adjustment required.

Fine-tuning the miter fence.

Several methods are acceptable to fine-tune the fence, but we have found that the following is a very practical way to achieve a square panel: 1. Clamp the fence locked at 90 degrees against the stop.

2. Clamp a sheet onto the sliding table and cut a straight edge (“A”). Mark “A.” 3. Move the sheet so that edge “A” is tight against the fence, clamp in position, cut edge “B” and mark “B.” 4. Flip the sheet so that edge “A” is still against the fence, but edge “B” is furthest away from the saw blade. Cut edge “C” and mark “C.” 5. If the sheet is cut square, edges “B” and “C” should be parallel. Check this by measuring across the width of the sheet at both ends.

Note. This method will double the amount of error, and any adjustment that is required should be halved. Also, the stop is closer to the table than the end of the sheet, so only adjust the stop in very small amounts. Example: If you are using a 2 ft x 2 ft sheet and you are out of parallel by 1/16 in, adjust the stop 0.01 in and repeat the cuts.

Fitting blades to parallel blade cutter head.

Blades must be HSS 250 x 30 x 3 mm and must meet the requirements of EN847.

WARNING! Disconnect the machine from the mains before any adjustment.

1. Lift the tables to the vertical position.

2. Release the clamping screws.

3. The blade will be released, and the springs will eject the blade.

4. Remove the blade and clean the bearing surface.

5. Clean the new blade carefully.

It is very sharp and can cut you very easily.

6. Insert the new blade and tighten the clamping screws using a suitable blade height setting fixture or gauge to set the blade to the correct height.

Note. Screw tightening sequence. Start tightening the center screw and work outwards on either side of the center screw.

Note. The maximum amount that the blade can extend past the surface of the cutter head is 1.1 mm. It is recommended that you set the blades to 0.7 to 0.8 mm above the cutter head.

Note. Before you close the tables and start the machine, check that all the clamping screws are tight.

WARNING! Never use blades that are narrower than 17 mm, as the clamping area is too small and there is a real danger that the blades can fly out of the machine, causing injury or death.

Loosen the clamp handles and move the fence so that it is hard against the stop screw and clamp the handles. Using an engineer’s square, check that the fence is at 90 degrees to the table. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows.

1. Loosen the lock nut and stop screw.

2. Set the fence to 90 degree to the jointer table using an engineer’s Stop screw and lock nut square and tighten the clamp handles.

3. Adjust the stop screw so that it is tight against the fence stop and tighten the lock nut.

4. Recheck with the engineer’s square and readjust if required.

Maintenance and troubleshooting.

All tools and machines require regular maintenance, and this machine is no exception. This section details the general maintenance and care of your machine. In general, we recommend that you only use a Teflon-based lubricant on the machine. Regular oil attracts dust and dirt, and the Teflon tends to dry and has less tendency to accumulate dirt and sawdust on your machine .We also recommend that you wax the tables to help prevent rust.

Weekly maintenance.

1. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts.

2. Clean the machine and check that the dust hoses are clear. Make sure that all moving parts are clean and free from sawdust and dirt.

3. Lubricate all moving parts with a Teflon-based lubricant.

4. Wax the table and all non-painted parts.

5. Check blades and cutter teeth for chips and dullness.

6. Check the dust extraction for blockages and any large bits that could cause blockages.

Drive belts.

The drive belts should last for many years (depending on the usage) but need to be inspected regularly for cracks, cuts and general wear. If damage is found, replace belts.

To re-tension the belts, loosen lock nut. The weight of the motor should put enough tension on the belts. Then tighten the lock nut. The belts come factory set, but they should be checked for tension after about 8 hours of use. The belts may to be re-tensioned, as they will have bedded into the “V� grooves.

Bearings.

All bearings are sealed for life and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes faulty, replace it.

Rust.

The tables are made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust if not protected. It is recommended that the table be coated with wax. All moving non-painted surfaces should be lubricated/protected with a Teflonbased lubricant.
