- Saw blade key
- Instructions manual and other documentation.
6. BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This tool is specially designed for straight sawing only
of boards made from wood and derivatives (plywood,
chipboard etc...).
7. START UP
Only plug in the machine when the switch
is in off position.
Press the locking button J, and squeeze the trigger in the
on/off switch K. When the on/off switch is released, the
machine stops.
8. FITTING THE SAW BLADE
Always unplug the machine before carrying
out any work on it.
CAUTION: Do not use bent or cracked blades or high-speed
steel blades. Do not use saw blades that do not conform to
the specifications contained in these instructions.
1. Move the mobile guard C backwards and hold it in place.
2. To loosen or tighten the screw E with the key supplied
with the machine, secure the blade shaft with the aid of
the push button P (Fig. 3).
3. Loosen the screw E and remove the setting disc D.
4. Fit the saw blade and tighten with the setting disc D
and the screw E.
5. Before fitting the new blade, make sure the surfaces in
contact with the setting discs are clean. The teeth of the
saw should protrude beyond the riving knife F. (The arrow
printed on the fixed guard of the machine indicates the
cutting direction of the teeth).
9. SETTINGS
1. Cutting depth setting
For a clean perfect cut, the cutting depth should be adjusted
to the thickness of the wood to be worked on, so that the
saw blade protrudes a tooth's height from the material. To
adjust the cutting depth, loosen the wing nut G and move
the machine upwards or downwards. The scale printed on
the parallel guide indicates the cutting depth.
2. Cutting angle setting
It can cut vertically and with an inclination of up to 45º.
The angle is adjusted by loosening the wing nut M and
according the scale printed on the base.
3. Riving knife adjustment
WARNING: The riving knife F prevents the blade from
seizing up duriing cutting operations and shold alwyas be
used for safety reasons.
The machine is supplied with the riving knife adjusted. When
fitting a new blade, follow the steps below for readjustment:
1. Raise the mobile guard C and loosen rhe screw button B.
2. Move the wedge through the slot to a distance from
the teeth tip and a cutting depth from same of 2 to 3 mm
(máx. 5 mm).
3. Tighten the screw B and the machine is ready to work.
4. Lateral fence adjustment
For parallel cutting, use the lateral fence I.
The cutting width is adjusted with the scale or according
to the plotting.
Tighten the wing nut H to work with the lateral fence.
10. DUST COLLECTION
Always make sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged before fitting or removing
any dust extraction device.
Dust extraction keeps the workplace clean, prevents dust
build-up in the air and facilitates waste elimination.
These saws are equipped with a dust extraction hole N
to which the nozzle (optional accessory) 8204077 (Fig. 4)
can be connected together our standard dust collection
attachment ref. 6446073 (2.25 m) or 1746245 (5 m) (op-
tional accessories) to our dust collectors AS182K, AS282K,
ASM582T, ASC682 or to any industrial dust collection system.
CAUTION: Always use a dust collector designed in accordance
with the applicable guidelines on sawdust
emission.
11. MAINTENANCE
Always unplug the machine before carrying
out any work on it.
- Checking the saw blade. Deposits of resin and glue on the
saw blade cause inefficient cutting. To avoid them, always
clean the blade immediately after use.
- Inspect the mounting screws. Regularly inspect all the
mounting screws and ensure they are firmly tightened.
Should any screw be loose, tighten it immediately. Failure
to do so could put you at serious risk.
