GET TO KNOW YOUR SLIDING PANEL
SAW
ASSEMBLY Assemble the remaining components which includes:
the mobile table, mobile table guide (3200mm), side
and back stationary tables, stationary table guide,
miter guide, stopper, blade guard, among others.
Since the equipment was already assembled in our
factory, you will not have any issues to assemble your
BMS.3200.IR.
CAUTION: Never remove the blade guard. It should
always be in the correct position at all times to avoid
any possible accidents.
STATIONARY TABLE:
Install the tables that extend the work top area for
the stationary table as it is depicted on the next
illustration.

6
Fixate the rail of the guide in the front of the stationary
table keeping in mind that the three parts need to be
parallel to each other:
Install the second part of the table and adjust the
Hight to suit your needs and install the guide on top
of the table:
In case you need to straighten out the guide you can
by adjusting the nuts and allen screw. The left most
nuts need to be tight at all times. If the guide is too
low or too high, adjust the allen screw underneath the
middle nut to move it up or down. Keep the middle
nut loose for now. To adjust the front tip of the guide
(the closest edge to the blade) to the left (towards
the blade) you will tighten the right nuts, to move it
to the right (way from the blade) you will loosen the
right nuts. After installing and adjusting it, cut some
boards to test it. In case you need to, you can always
re-adjust it.
SLIDING TABLE:
With the help of another person, install the sliding
table (3200mm) on the base of the equipment. Screw
it in place to hold rmly as seen in the illustration next
to:
To properly adjust the guide, and to straighten you
cuts, you will rst grab a panel and cut all four sides
by rotating the panel counter clock-wise. After you
did the fourth cut, you will place that side agents the
guide. Now you will cut once more then ip your panel
over so the side that you just cut is now on the opposite
side and the side that was touching the guide is still
touching the guide. Cut once more. Measure the side
that is touching the guide and the opposite side.
Fixate the guide Pon top of the sliding table and
adjust the screws underneath it to manipulate the
guide and to straighten out your cuts:

7
If the opposite side is larger then the side touching
the guide, you will loosen the left allen screw Hthen
tighten the right allen screw Hon the illustration above.
If the opposite side is smaller than the side touching
the guide, you will loosen the right allen screw Hthen
tighten the left allen screw H on the illustration above.
Repeat this until both sides are of equal sizes, cut all
four sides again and measure all four sizes to see if it
all matches. If it does not match, repeat these steps
until it matches.
SAW BLADE PROTECTION:
All of the safety systems need to be installed and
used at all times. Install the splitter (riving knife) with
a maximum distance of 8mm.
ENERGY:
With the machine still not plugged in, connect the
cable’s wires to the equipment.
Familiarize yourself with the front panel of your
equipment:
Spin the left knob to move the scoring blade up and
down while spinning the right knob will move the
scoring blade left and right. The scoring blade needs
to align with the main blade. To test if it is you will
grab a panel and pass it through the scoring blade
and only a little bit on the main blade. Then go back
and remove the piece. You will see both the Scoring
blade and the main blade cuts on the panel and can
make the adjustments as needed.
SAW BLADE INSTALLATION:
To install the main blade, you will use the provided
allen wrench and wrench. To remove the main blade,
hold the nut with the provided wrench and the allen
wrench in the middle and spin the wrench clock wise.
Allow only trained professionals to work on the
electrical wires of this equipment to avoid damages
and injuries.
CAUTION: Do not connect this equipment to an
outlet before reading and understanding all of the
instructions. This equipment can be connected to
a 220V 3 phase or 380V 3 phase outlet. Verify with
your electricity company what you have and then
verify both the motors and the transformer of the
equipment. Utilize a cable that is at least 2,5mm².
DUST COLLECTOR PORT:
An adequate dust collection system needs to be
connected to both exhaustion ports (one on top of the
blade guard and one on the side of the equipment)
for a cleaner and safer work area. Consult Maksiwa’s
catalog for several dust collection options.
FRONT PANEL:
A – Blade angle adjustment weal

E – Scoring blade on button
F – O button
G – Emergency o button
SCORING BLADE:
The scoring blade can be adjusted in accordance with
the pictures below.

8
The blade will always spin clock wise so when putting
your blade conrm that the teeth are pointing clock
wise. For the scoring blade it is the same but mirrored.
Spin the nut counter clock wise to loosen and the
teeth must face counter clock wise when putting the
blade.
Always check to see if the blade is fastened properly
before turning on the machine. Test the blades if
needed.
MOTOR BELT:
Adjust the tensioner Aindicated to adjust the tension
in accordance with your necessities.
Always check the tension of the belt every 500
hours of use. Always preform this with the machine
unplugged.
STATIONARY TABLE GUIDE:
To adjust the only the guide for the stationary table,
release leaver Aand move the guide forward and
back. To move the entire part, release Bto move it.
PUSH STICK:
The push stick needs to be used to maintain your hand
at least 150mm (5’’) from the blade to avoid injuries.
It is a safety precaution to reduce the risk of cutting a
nger o with a cut on the tip to help push the panel
safely.
You can use the provided push stick or make your
own. The push stick needs to be thinner then the
panel that it will be pushing. See the diagram below
for an example (illustration C).

NOTE: Your BMS.3200.IR was adjusted in the factory
during its fabrication. In case it needs to be re-adjusted
because of the transportation or any other reason,
follow the following steps. Once these adjustments
are done they will stay correct. Follow these steps
carefully to maintain your equipment’s precision.
Connect the equipment in an outlet that matches
your equipment’s voltage and phase. Certify that the
wire is not in your way to avoid possible accidents.
HAND AND BODY POSITIONING
The correct hand and body position during the use of
this equipment will make the cut easier, precise and
safer. Never put your hand close to the blade. DO not
put your hand any closer than 15 cm (6”) of the blade.
Hold the piece rmly agents the guide during the cut.
ALWAYS RUN A TEST (WITHOUGHT TURNING THE
MACHINE ON) BEFORE YOU DO ANY CUTS TO
VERIFY THE BLADE’S PATH. DO NOT CROSS YOUR
HANDS IN FRONT OF THE EQUIPMENT.
CUTTING WITH YOUR BMS.3200.IR
NOTE: Although your equipment can cut wood and
other materials non-metal based, we will only be
discussing cuts with wood. The same parameters will
apply to any material though. DO NOT USE SAND
DISC BLADES.
TRANSVERSAL CUTS
It is not recommended to cut multiple panels together
but it is possible if the panels are safely and rmly
held down on the table and against the guide. A
transversal cut is made when you cut a panel in the
opposite orientation to the bers of the wood in any
angle. A straight transversal cut is done with the blade
at 0º. Put the miter gauge at 0º, hold the wood rmly
agents both the guide and the miter gauge. Turn
the equipment on. When it is at max speed (about
1 second) move the panel smoothly forward to cut
the wood. Transversal cuts are usually made with the
miter gauge at an angle greater than 0º. This angle is
usually 45º to make corners but can be adjusted from
0º to 45º. After selecting your angle, tighten the knob
on your miter gauge and make the cut as described
above.
BEVEL CUTS
A bevel cut is a cut made with the blade at an angle.
To adjust the blade, you need to spin the Blade angle
adjustment weal and the height of the blade. After
you have the desired angle, put your miter gauge at
FUNCTIONALITY 0º against the panel and tighten it. The blade can tilt
up to 45º.
QUALITY CUT
The quality of the cut depends on several factors such
as the type of material being cut, the type/quality of
the blade being used, how sharp the blade is, etc…
When you want smoother cuts for precision cuts, a
sharp blade with 80 or more teeth is recommended
along with moving the sliding table slowly. Certify that
the panel being cut is held down rmly by locking it
down. In case small bers start to splinter out of your
panel when you cut you can put a piece of tape along
where you will cut, cut as normal along the tape then
peel o the tape slowly.
FIXATING THE PANEL
To xate the panel, use the provided miter gauge and
clamp to hold it down. If you decide to use a dierent
tool, turn your equipment o rst and test it with the
machine o. Remember to keep your hands at least 15
cm (6”) away from the blade. Be cautious and mindful
of your safety when selecting a new clamp or tool.
Thoroughly test it before using it.
SUPPORT FOR LONG PANELS
Turn o the equipment rst and foremost. ALWAYS
SUPPORT LONG PANELS. Support long panels using
any available support to avoid the panel from falling.
Consult Maksiwa’s catalog for several roller stand
options.
CUTTING 4 SIDED PANELS
To better understand the above-mentioned cuts, we
recommend you start with small and simple projects
to get use to your new equipment. The beveled cut
of 45º onto two panels will make a 90º corner. The
following table will show you what angle you need to
set the equipment to in order to make a perfect shape:
Number of sides Angel of the blade
4 45º
5 36º
6 30º
7 25.7º
8 22.5º
9 20º
10 18º

MAINTENANCE
1. All of the locked and soldered components do not
need maintenance.
2. Apply the correct oil on the parts that move only
when the equipment is completely clean.
3. Clean and remove all the saw dust and pieces of
wood periodically. Even if you use dust collectors
there may still be pieces that remain as they are not
perfect.
4. The parts were projected to las for several years of
