The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
Good Working Practices/Safety
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT
OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Primary Precautions
Primary Precautions
The machines are supplied with a moulded 16 Amp
plug (AW10BSB2) and 16 Amp plug (AW12BSB2) with a
3 core power cable. Before using the machine inspect
the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are
damaged. If any damage is visible, have the damaged
item inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person.
If it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to
use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will resist damage on
site. Only use a 16 Amp plug, (AW10BSB2) and 16 Amp
plug (AW12BSB2) and make sure the cable clamp is
tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads
are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on
them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely
supply the current that is required for your machine.
The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet. If the
machine is to be used outside and it starts to rain, stop work and move it inside. If machine has got wet; dry it off
as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel.
DO NOT use 230V ac powered machines anywhere within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and do not trail
extension cables across wet areas.
KEEP the machine clean; it will enable you to more easily see any damage that may have occurred.
CLEAN the machine with a damp soapy cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may
cause damage to any plastic parts or to the electrical components.
KEEP the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material.

General Instructions for 230V Machines
07
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN
BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS
t is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until
work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug
the machine when it is not in use, or unattended.
Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and
not the cable. Once you are ready to commence work,
remove any tools used in the setting operations and
place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine.
It is also recommended that you use switched supply
outlets.
Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool,
drill bit, saw blade etc., is securely tightened in the
machine, check you have the correct speed and
function set, check that the cutting path of the timber
is unobstructed, etc.
Most machines these days are fitted with NVR contact
switches so that machines cannot remain inadvertently
switched ‘ON’. However, it is a good habit to train
yourself to check that the machine is not ‘switched
on’ prior to connecting the mains supply, in case you
happen to be using one of the older machines.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.,
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate
flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate safety
clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc., If the work
operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear
ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long
style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a
sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair
being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine,
likewise, consideration should be given to the removal
of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a
‘snag’ hazard. Consideration should also be given to
non-slip footwear, etc.
DO NOT work with cutting or boring machines of any
description if you are tired, your attention is wandering
or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a
lost fingertip or worse; is not worth it!
DO NOT use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very
specialised machines for working in these areas,
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
CHECK that cutters, drills, blades etc., are the correct
type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and
sharp, this will maintain their operating performance
and lessen the loading on the machine.
If possible always fit dust extraction to machines that
are producing high rates of sawdust, shavings, chips
etc. Above all, OBSERVE.... make sure you know what
is happening around you, and USE YOUR COMMON
SENSE.
REMEMBER, YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY THIS MACHINE IS
DESIGNED TO CUT TIMBER AND TIMBER
DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE FOR ANY
OTHER MATERIALS.

PLEASE RECYCLE ANY UNWANTED PACKAGING RESPONSIBLY
Saw Body Assembly
Having unpacked the boxes, put the parts and
components where they are readily to hand. Break
down the main box by knocking the sides away (be
careful of exposed nails etc.), but leave the machine
sitting on its pallet. Identify the short rear panel
with the dust extraction cutout (2), locate the dust
extraction moulding (4) and fit to the panel using the
nuts and bolts (5) provided. (See fig 1) (The orientation
of the moulding should leave the 30mm outlet
pointing upwards i.e. pointing up the long length of
the panel). Put the panel aside, and locate the lower
leg columns (3) and 4 No. M8 x 20 (5A) bolts, nuts and
double washers. Fix the lower legs to the upper legs
using a washered bolt through the legs and secure
with washer and nut, only turn the nuts up finger tight
at this time. (See fig 2) Locate the rear extention table
(6), table support brackets (7), steel clamping plates (8)
and 4 No. M8 x 20mm caphead bolts and washers (9).
PLEASE NOTE: the manufacturer has fitted adjusting
bolts to the brackets, these are the faces that back
against the legs.
Offer the clamping plates (8) up to the inside face of
the legs (3), fasten the brackets using washered bolts
(9) through the bracket and the leg into the clamping
plate. Tighten the bolts finger tight only at this time.

NOTE: The mounting plate for the riving knife
has been factory set to ensure that the riving
knife is aligned with the blade. DO NOT alter
the setting bolts.
Locate the two hand wheels (10). Remove the Hex
screw and washer from both drive shafts and place
aside. Insert a square key into each machined slot
on the drive shafts and slide the hand wheels onto
the shafts. Replace the Hex screws and washers and
tighten securely , (See figs 17-18-19-20)

There is no requirement to remove the guard. The profile of the riving knife precludes the use of the saw
for slotting or grooving, and the maximum depth of cut can be achieved with the guard in place.
NOTE: The positioning of the extraction hose could be a nuisance if you are cutting big boards, in such a
case it is better to remove the hosing from the guard, then there is less risk getting the workpiece snagged
and perhaps ‘slewing’ on the saw.

Setting the Machine

Tilt the blade fully over. Using a mitre square, set the angle of the saw to 45˚. Check that the
index mark gives a corresponding reading against the scale. Adjust the pointer if necessary. Reset
the blade upright, check that the angle scale reading is correct. (See figs 98-99)
Set the rip fence a predetermined distance from the saw blade and lock in position. Check that
the rip fence is held securely when it is locked in position. If the locking appears a little ‘slack’
adjust the position of the clamping lug at the rear of the rip fence by tightening the nut. (A)
Check that the preset distance corresponds to the measurement on the scale against the index
mark in the magnifying lens. If not, adjust the position of the rip fence on its mounting bracket.
Check that the index mark gives a
corresponding reading against the scale.

Setting the Rip Fence (See figs 102-103)
Check that the fence (20) is parallel to the saw blade by sliding the fence up against it, press the
clamping lever down to lock the fence in position. If you find the fence is not perpendicular to
the blade loosen the three clamping bolts beneath the front rail, see fig 33 and manover the front
rail until correct. Re-tighten the three clamping bolts. NOTE: Lubricate the fence rails and the
underside of the rip fence clamp assembly (20) with a ptfe dry lubricant, so the fence assembly
runs smoothly back and forth.

Check the belt tension, see figs 106-107, the belt should be tight, but not unduly so. Remove all tools and
stow away. Check that the machine tables are clear. Lower the saw to leave about 25mm protruding, set
the saw upright.

Fit the small mitre fence (11) into the
machines ‘T’ slot. Loosen the clamping
handle (A).
Check that the indexing pointer gives the
correct reading against the scale.

Fit the small mitre fence (11) to the machine. Loosen
the clamping handle (A).
NOTE: There are 3 preset positions available with
the small mitre fence. +45˚, 0˚, and -45˚, these are
achieved using lugs in the casting and a push/pull
pin against which the lugs are stopped. The pin has
to be fully withdrawn to allow the fence to pivot
from one side to the other.
Set the face to zero angle using the preset position.
Setting the Mitre Fence
CHECK that everything that should be tight, is tight; saw blade guard, rise and
fall lock mechanism, fence clamps etc.
Continues Over....
Check that the angle is correct (and the lug is on
the correct side of the pin). Check that the indexing
pointer gives the correct reading against the scale.
Adjust the pointer if necessary. Check left and
right positions. Check the pointer is still correct. If
the preset positioning is wrong, set the fence with
a square/mitre gauge, set the pointer accurately
against the scale and clamp the fence in position
without recourse to the presets. Remove the small
mitre fence from the table and stow carefully aside.
