IMPORTANT: Return the blade guard to its original position after
adjustments have been made.
7. Check that the rip fence assembly pointer (a4) indicates zero on the
scale. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the rip fence
assembly screw (a6), move the pointer to read 0 and tighten the screw.
The fence is reversible: the workpiece can be guided along the 52 mm
or along the 8 mm face to allow the use of a push stick when ripping thin
workpieces.
IMPORTANT: Check that the fence is parallel to the blade each time the
fence is changed.
1. To set for 8 mm or 52 mm, loosen the adjustment knob (a1) and slide
the fence (zz) out of the clamping support (a7).
2. Turn the fence and slide the clamping support in the slot as shown.
WARNING:
• Use the 8 mm profile for ripping low workpieces to allow
access between the blade and the fence for the push stick.
• The rear end of the fence should be level with the front of the
riving knife.
Prior to Operation
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.
The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the
saw blade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
• Secure the workpiece.
• Do not cut ferrous (iron and steel) materials or masonry with this saw!
Do not use any abrasive discs!
• When cutting non-ferrous materials, always use a suitable D
saw blade with a rake angle of -5°. Make sure to secure the material in
position using a material clamp.
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf
slot is wider than 10 mm.
• Ensure the material to be sawn is firmly secured in place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side pressure
on the saw blade.
• Avoid overloading.
• Always remove the dust from the machine after use to ensure the lower
guard operates properly.
• When sawing wood and wood products, always connect a device
designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust
emission.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the
OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms
of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the
operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space around
the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration, make sure the environment temperature is not
too cold, machine and accessories are well maintained and the workpiece
size is suitable for this machine.
Turning On and Off (fi g. 1)
The on/off switch (a) has a built-in no-volt release function: should the power
be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
To switch the machine on, press the green start button.
To switch the machine off, press the red stop button.
WORKLIGHT (FIG. 16A)
The worklight on/off button (d) is independent of the mitre saw's on/off
buttons (a).
Dust Extraction (fi g. 1, 10)
The machine is provided with three 38 mm dust collection ports, one on the
upper blade guard (z), and two at the lower rear (v).
• Connect a suitable dust extraction device, designed in accordance
with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission, during all sawing
operations.
Basic Saw Cuts
QUALITY OF CUT
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g., the
material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and other
precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting
rate will produce the desired results.
WARNING: Ensure that the material does not creep while
cutting; clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade come
to a full stop before raising the saw head arm. If small fibres of
wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of
masking tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw
through the tape and carefully remove tape when finished.
SAWING IN MITRE SAW MODE
It is dangerous to operate without guarding. Guards must be in position
when sawing.
WALT
E
General Handling
• In the mitre saw mode, the saw head is automatically locked when in
the saw head's highest position.
• Squeezing the head lock-up release lever will unlock the sawhead.
Moving the sawhead down retracts the movable lower guard.
• Never seek to prevent the lower blade guard returning to its original
position when the cut is completed.
• To make the maximum cutting height possible, set the saw bench table
to its highest position.
• The D27113 saw can cut workpieces up to 160 mm width by 85 mm
height. For the proper cutting capacities, refer to Technical Data. The
length of the workpiece should never exceed the base width without
adequate support. The end of the workpiece should never be less than
160 mm away from the blade without additional clamping means.
• During operation, place your hands no closer than 160 mm from the
blade. When cutting short material (minimum 160 mm to the left or the
right of the blade), use of the material clamp is required.
• The minimum length of offcut material is 10 mm.
• When cutting workpieces longer than the table width, make sure that
the workpiece is stable over its full length. Support the protruding parts
of the workpiece as necessary, e.g., using the optional workpiece
extension.
• When cutting UPVC sections, a supporting piece made out of timber
with a complementary profile should be placed beneath the material
being cut to provide the correct level of support.
Straight Cross Cut (fig. 1, 11)
1. Loosen the locking knobs (bb, e) and move the top table to its highest
position. Lock both knobs.
2. Loosen the mitre knob (m) and depress the mitre latch (n) to release the
mitre arm (l).
3. Engage the mitre latch at the 0˚ position and tighten the mitre knob.
4. Place the wood to be cut against the fence (h, p).
5. Take hold of the operating handle (b) and depress the head lock-up
release lever (c) to release the head.
6. Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
