Identification & Description of the Saw Table...

Tilt control This is an engineers wheel handle attached to the shaft of the tilt
hand wheel mechanism of the saw. Turning the handle clockwise will cause the saw
(See fig A) blade to return upright, anti-clockwise to tilt it right. There is not
locking function on the tilt mechanism assembly.
Tilt angle scale This is a self adhesive scale decal that is stuck onto the front of the
(See fig B) machine to give some indication of the angle to which the saw blade is
tilted.
On/Off switches Two grouped switches that control the NVR contactor of the saw table,
(See fig B) They carry the standard markings of 'I' for ON and 'O' for OFF. There is a
shroud that fits over the switch block, with a cover shaped as an
emergency stop button. Moulded on the rear of the cover is a protrusion
that impinges on the stop button. If the guard is locked down, the stop
button is permanently depressed. If, whilst you are operating the saw
you should require to stop the machine quickly; 'slapping' the cover
down will depress the stop button.
Blade guard A moulded plastic guard that is mounted on the riving knife. There is a
(See fig B) 30mm dust extraction port at the rear of the guard which can be
connected to the main dust extraction ducting at the rear of the saw, or
connected directly to an extraction system as you choose.
Rip/guide fence A section of extruded aluminium rail that fixes onto the front edge of
mounting rail the sawtable, it also extends across the faces of the extension leaves,
(See fig B) so that the rip fence can be used across the full width of the saw. The
rail carries a scale tape, to enable the distance to the fence to be
gauged. The front of the extrusion forms the moulded shape into which
the rip fence mounting fits and locks. The underside of the mounting rail
had a toothed rack fixed to it, for use with the micro-adjustor of the rip
fence.
Mounting rail Two lamina plates shaped to the extruded section of the mounting rail
capping plates and secured by self tapping screws. They blank off the voids at the ends
of the rail.
Rear fence A section of extruded aluminium rail that fixes onto the rear edge of the
clamping rail sawtable, it also extends across the extension leaves. The locking lug of
(See fig B) the rip fence clamp pulls up against the rail to hold the fence in position.
Rip fence and An aluminium box shaped extrusion. The whole is mounted onto the
mounting mounting bracket. The locking handle is pivoted in the front part of the
bracket fence and has a cam action that moves a long rod which pulls the rear
(See fig B) locking lug against the rear fence clamping rail to hold the fence in
position. The mounting bracket is the complementary shape of the
mounting rail and can slide back and forth along the rail. Channels in
the extrusion capture the nuts of the fixing bolts, this allows the fence
and the micro-adjustor to be fastened to the bracket. There is a
magnifying sight glass with an index line recessed into the bracket.
