Before Starting The Equipment; Attachment And Operation - Scheppach HM100MP Originalbetriebsanleitung

7. Before starting the equipment

• The equipment must be set up where it can stand
securely, i.e. it should be bolted to a workbench, a
universal base frame or similar.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly fit-
ted before the equipment is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or
screws, etc.
• Before you press the ON/OFF switch check that the
saw blade is fitted correctly. Moving parts must run
smoothly.
• Before you connect the equipment to the power sup-
ply make sure the data on the rating plate are denti-
cal to the mains data.

8. Attachment and operation

8.1 Attaching the saw (Fig. 1-6)
• To adjust the rotary table (16), push the locking lever
(13) downwards and pull the lower indexed position
lever (12) upwards with your index finger.
• Rotate the rotary table (16) and pointer (14) to the
desired angle on the scale (15) and lock in place by
folding up the locking lever (13).
• Pressing the machine head (5) lightly downwards
and removing the locking bolt (24) from the motor
bracket at the same time disengages the saw from
the lowest position.
• Swing the machine head (5) up until the release le-
ver (3) latches into place.
• It is possible to secure the clamping device (8) to the
left or right on the stationary saw bench (17).
• Attach the workpiece supports (9) to the fixed saw
table (17) as shown in Figure 6a,b,c and push all the
way through. Secure the shafts with the retaining
springs to prevent them from slipping out accidental-
ly. The fasten in the desired position with the screw
(10).
• It is possible to tilt the machine head (5) a max. 45°
to the left by loosening the set screw (22).
8.2 Precision adjustment of the stop for crosscut
90° (Fig. 3,5,18)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (5) and secure using the
locking bolt (24).
• Loosen the set screw (22).
• Position the angle stop (a) between the saw blade
(7) and the rotary table (16).
• Slacken the counternut (d). Adjust the adjusting
screw (30) until the angle between the saw blade (7)
and rotary table (16) is 90°.
• Retighten the counternut (d) to secure this setting.
• Subsequently check the position of the angle indi-
cator. If necessary loosen the pointer (20) using a
Philips screwdriver, set to position 0° on the angle
scale (19) and re­tighten the retaining screw.
8.3 Precision adjustment of the stop for mitre cut 45°
(Fig. 1,3,5,19)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (5) and secure using the
locking bolt (24).
• Fix the rotary table (16) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the set screw (22) and use the handle (1) to
angle the machine head (5) 45° to the left.
• 45° ­ position angle stop (b) between the saw blade
(7) and rotary table (16).
• Slacken the counternut (c). Adjust the adjusting
screw (31) until the angle between the saw blade (7)
and rotary table (16) is precisely 45°.
• Retighten the counternut (d) to secure this setting.
8.4 Cross cut 90° and turntable 0° (Fig.1,2,6,7)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm it
is possible to fix the traction function of the saw with
the set screw (23) in the rear position. In this position
the machine can be operated in cross cutting mode. If
the cutting width is over 100 mm then it is necessary
to ensure that the set screw (23) is loose and the ma-
chine head (5) can move.
Attention! For 90° mitre cuts, the moveable stop rail
(28) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (29) on the moveable stop rail
(28) and push the moveable stop rail (28) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (28) must be locked in a po-
sition far enough from the inner position that the dis-
tance between the stop rail (28) and the saw blade
(7) is no more than 5 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (28) and the saw blade
(7).
• Tighten the set screw (29) again. (2x 8.3 +8.4)
• Move the machine head (5) to its upper position.
• Use the handle (1) to push back the machine head
(5) and fix it in this position if required (dependent
on the cutting width).
• Place the piece of wood to be cut at the stop rail
(18) and on the turntable (16).
• Lock the material with the clamping device (8) on
the fixed saw table (16) to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operation.
• Push down the release lever (3) to release the ma-
chine head (5).
• Press the ON/OFF switch (2) to start the motor.
• With the drag guide (23) fixed in place:
use the handle (1) to move the machine head (5)
steadily and with light pressure downwards until the
saw blade (7) has completely cut through the work
piece.
• With the drag guide (23) not fixed in place:
pull the machine head (5) all the way to the front.
Lower the handle (1) to the very bottom by apply-
ing steady and light downward pressure. Now push
the machine head (5) slowly and steadily to the
very back until the saw blade (7) has completely cut
through the work piece.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move the
machine head (5) back to its upper (home) position
