22 Fig. 53 Fig. 54 C A B B A DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. NOTE: T wo 7/8" wrenches are supplied with the saw fo r changing the saw blade: a box end wr ench (A) Fig. 53 & 54, and open end wrench (B) Fig. 53 & 54. Use only 10" saw blades rated for 3000 RPM or higher with 5/8" arbor holes.
23 23 Fig. 55 B A C B DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. Place a straight edge across the table at both ends of the table insert. The table insert (A) Fig. 55 should always be level with the table. If an adjustment is necessary , tur n the adjusting screws (B).
24 COMMON SA WING OPERA TIONS CROSS-CUTTING Cross-cutting r equires the use of the miter gage to position and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gage and advance both the gage and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 59. The miter gage may be used in either table slot.
25 Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a boar d. The rip fence (A) Fig. 62 [not supplied] is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board r ests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.
26 Fig. 66 Fig. 69 Fig. 67 Fig. 68 H G W H USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead is a fast, safe and clean operation.
27 Fig. 74 Fig. 75 Fig. 72 Fig. 73 Fig. 71 1. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig.
28 Fig. 76, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboar d is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboar ds are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, as shown in Fig.
When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 78. Fig. 78 PUSH STICK MAKE FROM 1/2 " OR 3/4 " WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MA T’L.
30 MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air . All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
