Inca Model 2200 12" Tablesaw

Siscer Tabitha Babbie invented

che

modern tablesaw, at

che

Harvard Shaker community in 1810. Imagine with what delight

che practical Shakers welcomed chis innovacion.

Nearly 2 centuries lacer, relatively

few

changes have been made in

che basic design; chere is a power source, cable and projecting

blade, and a fence. Necessicy, rime, and inventiveness have given

us precision bearings, che rile arbor, and che

mitre

guide.

In

addi-

tion

we

have superior blade and fence design, and improved safety

and sawdusc collection features. Combined, they make

che

cable-

saw che unquestioned workhorse

in

che

\Wadworkers' arsenal.

I

nca

had it's beginning over 100 years ago

as

an aluminum mold

and die maker, casting aluminum

in

precise shapes for ocher

industrial uses.

When

a handsaw manufaccurer

wcnc

ouc

of

busi-

ness leaving behind che dies for a 1

O"

handsaw, che company

was

quick ro

cake

advantage

of

the sicuacion. With all

che

expensive

dies already paid for,

it

was a simple matter ro produce the

machine, buc a risky venture into unknown selling cerricory.

The

experiment obviously paid off. And you are the benefaccor

of

over

60

years

of

cool

making experience. Originally engineered in

Switzerland,

che

Inca line is now produced

in

France and cakes

advantage

of

che common marker experience.

We thank

you

for buying che Inca Model

2200

12"Tablesaw.

We

believe you've made a wise decision.

The

design process combined

the

inpuc

of

Swiss engineers (renowned for their precision clock-

making), designers and woodworkers like you (both amateurand

professional)

co

create a user-friendly precision machine.

Designed for a lifecime

of

service, your new Inca Model 2200 12"

Table Saw, includes che

lacesc

assembly

of

advanced features.

Although you may be very experienced

in

using and setting

up

machinery, please cake

che

time

ro read

the

manual.

The

mosc

experienced woodworker will benefit by seeing old information in

a new

way.

While

che

Inca is similar ro ocher cable saws in use

and controls, chere are some things you may find new and useful

co

know before you

scare

ro work.

Firsc: Check ouc your new saw. Machines are generally shipped by

truck

.

When

che driver delivered your saw, you probably signed a

bill

of

lading acknowledging receipt.

Unpack and inspect your saw promptly.

If

anyching has been

dam-

aged in

shipment

it

is your responsibility

co

file a "concealed dam-

age claim".

Afcer che claim has been filed an inspecror will check

che

damage,

so you muse keep che shipping materials.

You

may make a "concealed damage claim" even

if

there

was

no sign

of

damage ro the box

ac

the cime

of

delivery,

bur,

you muse

do

ic

prompcly. After che inspeccion,

we

will help you file a claim.

Moving

doorway:

Remove the crank handle

of

che angle adjustment wheel. Loosen che set screw in the lock collar

of

SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFE

WORK

HABITS.

DON'T

RUSH! The

wood

has

been waiting for years

co

be your

cable

or chair.

A

few

more minutes doing

it

right won't hurt.

NO

LOOSE

CLOTHING.

It

will gee caught in things or places which will lead

to

disaster. Shirt sleeves will catch blades or bits. Ties will be sucked into the

vortex.

DO

NOT

SMOKE while operating machinery.

DO

NOT

DRINK

and operate machinery.

DO

NOT

WORK

WHEN

YOU ARE TIRED

OR

DISTRACTED.

The number one cause

of

accidents

is

lack ofconcentration. you cannot con-

centrate when you are tired.

IF

IT LOOKS

AND

FEELS

RISKY, IT

IS.

Seek help; ask someone with more

experience.

Remember, you have spent

years

growing useful parts

of

your anatomy.

Don't

cue

pieces

of

it

off.

Fingers have many ocher uses.

Adjusting

the

Rails

and

the

Front

Measuring

Scale

The

easy

adjustment

of

the rails and the measuring system

of

your new

INCA Model

2200

is the key

co

making your work faster, easier and more

accurate.

·

You

can set the rails and scale

so

chat you can always directly read

che

dis-

tance from fence

to

blade regardless

of

whether you choose

to

use a wooden

auxiliary fence or choose

to

measure from

che

left, right or center

of

the

blade.

The system also allows you

to

make rips

co

the maximum capacity left or

right

of

the blade

The

adjustments here arc

to

set che fence and scale for ripping with the

fence on the

right

side

of

the blade.

There are

nm

windows on the fence, and only one is exposed at a time.

The one

co

the right

of

the fence is visible when the extrusion is on the

left side

of

the fence.

The

fence extrusion should always cover the window

you

aren't using.

l.

Bring the fence extrusion

right

up

co

the blade,

just couching buc

noc

pressing, and lock

ic

in place.

Note:

(If

you

will

be

using

a

wood

auxiliary

fence,

it

should

be

on

now.)

2.

Slide the scale alone along the cop

of

che front rail until the arrow in

the window is

pointing

ac

the

"O".

You

are "zero'ed in".

3. Move the rear rail

co

complement the front rail.

(When

you

change

rail

position

or

move

the

fence

to

the

other

side

of

the

blade

you

will

repeat

this

exercise

to

make

the

scak

accurate.)

As

you can see, the scale can

be

readily aligned with any fence or auxil-

iary fence you choose.

Also you can align

it

co

read from either side,

or

center,

of

the blade or

cuccer.

Ripping

technique

is important in order

co

cut straight and true

It

may

seem

obvious

but

as

with all

saw

cuts, you

must

prepare

i!lll:JiJJ!

.li·:1:=J1'·1=1:::11:11:::111

1

;11ttlllll

f k

For the smoothest cut,

we

recom-

mend you set the blade height

so

that the gullet between teeth

is

level with the mp

of

the

wood

being cue.

If

you raise the blade mo high, the

teeth are exiting the wood at a

high angle which causes tear-out.

1.

Make sure the

wood

is level on the table

as

the

wood

approaches the

blade

Cautions:

If

the

wood

is

not

flat

it

can

cause

the

blade

to

suddenly

catch

the

wood

causing

sudden

shock

to

teeth

or

wood

Both

teeth

and

wood

can

shatter

with

unpleasant

results.

2. Support the work after

it

passes the blade

co

avoid losing control

of

the end

of

the cut.

Note:

A

catch

table

behind

your

saw

or

a

set

of

rollers

will

help

to

avoid ruining

valuable

work

and

help

prevent

injury.

3.

As

you push

wood

imo

the blade, be aware of the direction that you

are pushing the

wood.

As

the illustration shows, feeding the

wood

with some pressure

towards

the

fence insures that you will not inadvertently skew the

cut.

4. Your

Right

hand

pushes forward while your left hand keeps the

wood

tight

against the fence (as illustrated).

Pushing IQQ

fufil.

with

~

chick hardwoods can strain the momr which

will aucomatically

cue

off

if

ic

over-

heats.

Pushing too slow or srnpping risks:

l.

burning

the

wood

2. kickback.

Try for a consistent speed and effort.

Keep you hands

and

clothes

away

from the blade.

If

you

must

make

cuts near the blade, USE

THE

PUSH

STICK.

Working Blade Height: Should show only a few teeth above the work.

YES!

Page 7

Ripping: general practice

Traditionally,

cutting

is

done with the fence on the right

side, so the text and illustrations show

that

position.

If

you prefer to work with the fence on the left,

reverse the arrangement.

Never stand in line with the blade. Stand

to

the side

of

the blade opposite the fence. Push the work along

the fence applying side and forward pressure, holding

the workpiece with both hands initially. Apply for-

ward pressure with right hand and sideways pressure

(towards the fence) with your left hand.

Maintain a balanced stance

so

your feet won't slip, pitching

you into the blade.

As

you near completion, continue to push past the blade

with your

right

hand and move your left hand out

of

the

way.

On

narrow cuts,

get

in the habit

of

hook-

ing one or two fingers

of

your

right

hand over the

fence. Do not lean over the blade.

Your left hand should nor push the waste past the blade.

That

can cause pinch and kickback. A carch table at

the back

of

the saw will support long boards when

ripping and crosscutting large panes so they won't fall

off the back

of

the saw and damage your work or cre-

ate

an

unsafe condition.

Crosscutting:

Onec your boards are

cut

so

there are two parallel long

sides and two flat faces, you

must

usually

cut

one end

square and true and the other end to length. Start by

using the

mitre

guide

for

small pieces, or a cut-off

sled riding in the mitre slot.

The

sled can be open

ended over one mitre slot or large, covering the entire

table. Sleds are

far

more accurate then mitre guides

because the fence are large and will not allow the

work

ro

twist or pivot. Accuracy

is

assured

if

you

rake the

time

to

build

an

accurate sled. Make several

sleds ar once

to

do 45°

as

well

as

90° cuts

Reproducing

an

exact

cut

width.

Position the piece

to

be reproduced against the fence and

leave

some space next to the blade. 1" would be ade-

quate. Using the piece to be copied

as

a fence, cut a

piece

of

scrap. Do not move the fence.

The scrap will replace the piece and now any other piece

run through agaiinst the scrap will be aucomaticall

the same size

as

the original piece.

It

is

repeatable and requires no measurement,

no

set-up.

Steel die-makers use this technique to saw blockes

of

ply-

wood

to

precise dimensions.
