Changing The Blade; Riving Knife - Evolution Rage 5 Traduction Du Manuel D'origine

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
Note: Although the Mitre Gauge can be locked in any desired
position along the 'T' slot it does have a dedicated position to
the front of the carriage, where the locking screw will engage in
a hole in the sliding carriage body. (Fig. 38)
•
Install the Hold Down Clamp, if required, onto the pillar fitted
into the Mitre Gauges main body. (Fig. 39) Tighten in the
required position using the locking screw.
•
Place the workpiece in the required position and against the
Mitre Gauge Face Plate.
•
Clamp the workpiece to the Sliding Carriage by adjusting the
FIG. 38
Hold Down Clamp for best position and tightening the vertical
locking screw using the large knob. (Fig. 40)
•
The Mitre Gauge has its own locking screw to lock it to the
sliding carriage, but when used with the Hold Down Clamp,
additional security is obtained. Check the integrity of the
installation.
Note: We recommend that the above set up procedure is
completed with the Sliding Carriage pulled out from the
machine table to give the operator the clearance and space to
make any measurements, confirm cutting lines etc.
FIG. 39
When satisfied that all adjustments and cutting line positionings
etc are correct, and all adjustment screws are securely
tightened, open the On/Off switch cover plate.
Start the machine and push the Sliding Carriage (by using the
Mitre Gauge) to the rear of the Table to make the cut.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
WARNING:
Ensure that the machine is disconnected from
the mains supply before any maintenance tasks or adjustments
are attempted.

CHANGING THE BLADE

Note: We recommend that the operator considers wearing
protective gloves when handling or changing the machines blade.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply
2. Remove the blade guard. (Refer to Assembly 4)
3. Remove the table insert by rotating its fixing screw
4. Approximately 1/4 turn. Lift & slide the insert from the table
& safely store it for future use.
5. Raise the blade to its highest position.
6. Use the two blade changing tools provided. One to hold the
motor arbor, and the other to loosen the arbor nut. (Fig. 41)
7. Remove the nut, outer flange and blade.
8. Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth are facing to the
front of the saw, and that the arrow on the blade is in line
with the motor direction.
9. Replace the outer flange and nut and tighten securely with
the spanners provided. Check that both blade flanges are in
contact with the blade.
10. Replace the table insert and its fixing screw. Ensure that the
fixing screw is correctly seated.
11. Replace the blade guard and check all operational functions
of the blade and its guarding system.
12. Only connect the machine to its main supply after a
complete safety check of the machine has been carried out.
Cleaning
After each use the machine should be cleaned. Remove all
sawdust etc from the visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be connected to the machine
dust extraction port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the machine. Never use solvents
to clean plastic parts, as solvents can damage them. Clean only
with a soft very slightly damp cloth.

Riving Knife

The riving knife is a very important component and must be
fitted correctly aligned and adjusted. The riving knife prevents the
work from binding as it passes through the blade.
Inspect the riving knife at regular intervals and replace it if it is
worn or damaged.
