User manual PARKSIDE PKGS 1400

[. . . ] Support long workpieces on a surface or blocks so that it is at the same height as the saw table. Always keep the power cable well out of the saw's working area and fed to the rear of the machine. Look after your health: Wear ear defenders - also wear safety glasses and a breathing /dust mask. Only use saw blades that have a diameter of 250 mm and are suitable for the type of clamping flange on the saw. [. . . ] Always switch off the power supply (pull out the plug) when you carry out adjustments or check the set-up of the machine. To make any necessary adjustment, follow this procedure: Move the saw table into the home position (0° - setting). Bring down the cutting head and compare the alignment of the side face of the saw blade with the left-hand edge of the saw notch on the table. Changing the setting ­ if required, is done by loosening the three bolts directly behind the saw blade (see Fig / ) with the Allen key (e) and moving the cutting arm so that it is parallel. Stop plate Check the stop plate particularly if it has been removed from the machine and replaced. Adjustment of the stop plate can only be carried out after the saw blade has been set parallel as above. Place one face of the set square against the stop plate and the other against the side face of the blade. If required, the adjustment is done as follows; Unscrew the two bolts at the rear of the stop plate and set the stop plate so that it is at 90° to the side face of the saw blade. Saw blade depth Check the saw blade depth with the cutting head lowered as far down as possible. Test that no teeth come into contact with any of the metal surfaces by turning the blade lightly by hand. If the blade does not turn freely, carry out the adjustment as follows: Unscrew the lock nut (see Fig. Then retighten the lock nut. 4a. Mitre setting 0° If required you can adjust the 0° mitre stop setting. Move the saw table into the 90° home position (0° - setting) and with the cutting head lowered, compare the position of the side face of the saw blade with the table's support surface. / ) and turn the screw until it touches the casting and the saw blade is at 90° to the saw table. The saw blade must remain at right angles to the saw table and the scale reading on the cutting head remain at 0°. 4b. Mitre setting 45° If required you can adjust the 45° mitre stop setting. Unscrew the quick-set angle adjuster and tilt the cutting arm until it reaches the 45° setting on the scale. Use a combination angle gauge to compare the side face of the saw blade with the table's support surface. · / ) and turn the screw until it touches the casting and the saw blade is at 45° to the saw table. Adjust scale If necessary the scale pointer on the saw table can be readjusted. Just unscrew the bolt, move the pointer to the new position ^ and retighten the bolt. Each line on the scale represents 1°. 6 OPERATION ! Take note of the mains voltage. The voltage must agree with that shown on the identification plate (equipment shown as 230 V can also be used with 220 V). [. . . ] First select the tilt and rotation angles and then secure all the stop settings. In this way you can satisfy yourself that the angle is right and the material can be cut correctly. 7 MAINTENANCE OF THE CROSSCUT AND MITRE SAW ! Before starting any work on the saw always pull the plug from the socket. · The replacement carbon brushes (d) supplied may only be changed and fitted at an authorised repair centre. For the best results do this straight after the work has been completed. [. . . ]
