Mitre Crosscutting - Evolution RAGE 5 Traduction Du Manuel D'origine

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
Sliding Carriage System
This machine is fitted with a Sliding Carriage to the LH side of
the blade. This facility can be particularly useful when cross-
cutting small section material such as metal box-section or
extrusions etc.
The sliding carriage should always be used with the Mitre
Gauge locked to it in the desired position.
Material can be clamped to the Sliding Carriage by using
the Mitre Gauge with its Hold Down Clamp, thus enhancing
operator control and safety.
The sliding carriage system can also be very useful (when used
FIG. 29
in conjunction with a locked on Mitre Gauge) for repetitive
cross-cutting.
To Release the Sliding Carriage
WARNING:
The machine must be switched off, the blade
stationary, and the switch cover plate in the closed (safe)
position whenever adjustments etc are being made to the
machine or the workpiece.
The Sliding Carriage Locking Latch is located to the rear of the
machine table and slightly to the LH side of the blade. (Fig. 29)
•
Slide the latch to the right to unlock the carriage and pull the
carriage forward.
•
When operations are completed, return the carriage to its
original position and slide the locking latch to the left to lock
the carriage.
•
Check that the carriage is locked in its 'locked' position.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
Multi-purpose blade
The Rage 5 comes fitted with a multi-purpose TCT blade which
is capable of cutting many materials. We recommend that a
workshop dust extraction system is always attached to the
dust extraction port (Fig. 30) when cutting wood or wooden
products to prevent any possible build up of sawdust in the
lower blade guard.
When changing the blade (See Maintenance) the operator
should visually check for any dust build up in the lower blade
guard. With the blade removed any residual dust can be
sucked away using a suitable crevice nozzle vacuum extraction
machine. The blade can then be reinstalled.
Metallic materials should not be cut if it is suspected that
there could be residual sawdust in the lower blade guard. The
machine should be disconnected from its power supply and
the table insert removed (refer to 'Assembly 2 & 4 Figs 2 & 8 )
so that a visual check can be made. (Fig. 31) If there is evidence
of sawdust build-up, remove this sawdust before commencing
metal cutting operations.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts on this machine.
Always use the appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and kickback.
We recommend that the saw blade protrudes through the
material to be cut by approximately 3mm. Adjust the height of
the blade as previously described. This machine is not suitable
for cutting rebates or stopped grooves.
A workshop dust extraction device should be connected to the
extraction port found at the rear of the machine. (Fig. 30)
1. Crosscutting
Set the mitre gauge to 90 and tighten using the vertical
0
handle. Position in the 'T' slot and adjust the mitre face plate as
previously described. Index the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate. Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before sliding the mitre gauge and workpiece
towards the rear of the table making your cut. (Fig. 32)

2. Mitre crosscutting

Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at an angle other
than 90 . Set the mitre gauge to the desired angle, tighten and
0
proceed as cross-cutting above. (Fig. 33)
