PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE
(11)
A Parallel Edge Guide (Fig. 8) which can be
particularly helpful when rip cutting, is supplied
with all CCS machines. The guide can be fitted
to the front of the sole plate.
The guides arm should be inserted through the
rectangular slots positioned at either side (front)
of the pressed steel sole plate, and slid under
the centrally located adjustment locking screw.
(Fig. 9)
Note: The Parallel Edge Guide can be fitted on
either side of the sole plate.
WARNING: Only fit and adjust the Guide with
the machine disconnected from the power
supply.
Note: The arm of the Parallel Edge Guide
must pass through all of the rectangular slots
provided in the sole plate.
WARNING: It is potentially dangerous to install,
and try to use the Edge Guide with the arm
passing through only one (1) of the machined
rectangular sole plate slots.
Adjust the edge guide so that it is at the
required distance from the blade and tighten
the adjusting screw. Check that the edge guide
is parallel to the saw blade.

CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

(12)
Note: All CCS machines share the same general
depth adjustment fixtures/fittings and employ
the same basic technique for setting the blade
depth.
• Loosen the Depth Adjustment Locking
Mechanism by pulling the operating lever
upwards. (Fig. 10)
• Adjust/re-position the sole plate to give the
required cutting depth (the amount by which
the blade protrudes through the sole plate).
Note: A depth scale can be found on the depth
adjustment quadrant, with a corresponding
index mark incorporated into the adjacent area
of the machines upper blade guard. (Fig. 11)
Using these features can aid rapid setting.
Note: Although the depth scale and index mark
are very useful, enabling rapid depth setting,
using them should always be regarded as a
guide to the setting achieved.
If a very precise depth of cut is required, then
the blade setting should be checked with an
engineers precision ruler (not supplied) or
similar and adjusted accordingly.
• In most cases the cutting depth should be set
at the thickness of the material to be cut plus
the depth of half of a saw tooth (tip of the
tooth to the tooth root). (Fig.12)
• Tighten the Depth Adjustment Locking
Mechanism by pushing the operating
lever downwards to securely to lock in the
machine in the required position.
CUTTING ANGLE
(13)
(BEVEL) ADJUSTMENT
All CCSL & CCSX machines have the facility to
tilt the blade through (up to) 45˚ and all CCS
machines have the facility to tilt the blade
through (up to) 60˚ to the left hand side.
Bevel cuts are therefore possible.
Note: The blade is at the vertical position when
the protractor scale reads 0˚.
Note: A protractor scale (0˚- 45˚ or 0˚- 60˚) is
incorporated on the Bevel Locking quadrant
found at the front of the soleplate. Using this
will aid rapid bevel angle setting but should be
regarded as a guide only.
If a very precise bevel angle is required, then
the blade setting should be checked using a
vernier angle gauge (not supplied) and adjusted
accordingly.
• Loosen the Bevel Locking Mechanism found
at the front of the machine, by pulling the
lever upwards. (Fig. 13)
• Tilt the blade to the required angle as
indicated on the quadrant protractor scale.
(Fig. 14)
• Tighten the Bevel Locking Mechanism
securely when the desired bevel angle
has been achieved by pushing the lever
downwards.
