ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
FIG. 29
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
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.
