Identification & Description of the Mitre Saw...
Operating The operating handle contains the trigger switch and is the handle used
Handle to pull the saw over into the work.
Trigger switch Housed in the handle of the Operating handle the Trigger Switch is a
good width switch that can be easily 'squeeze' operated whilst pulling
the saw over into the work. The whole hand is used to grip both the
operating handle and the switch simultaneously. Incorporated into the
trigger switch and speed control circuitry is a soft start function which
allows the blade to run up to speed, over a timed period, thus reducing
the 'snatch' effect on the gear train, and increasing the longevity of the
machine.
Upper guard Fixed guard, part of the saw body frame, covering the top part of the
saw blade.
Rear fixed The fixed lower guard is a wide plate, bent into a 'U' section. The saddle
lower guard of the 'U' is bolted to the saw body frame, with the 'arms' of the 'U'
extending on either side of the blade covering the saw teeth while the
saw is in the 'up' position.
Pivoting The Pivoting lower guard is a 'trough' guard that covers the lower front
lower guard portion of the saw blade. It is pivoted on a mounting on the Upper Guard
and is operated by a lever that rotates it out of the cutting line when the
saw is 'pulled over'. The guard has an interlock fitted to prevent the saw
being 'pulled over' inadvertently. A conscious action, in this case
'thumbing' the interlock lever aside, is required to enable the saw to be
used.
Front fixed A small shaped plastic extrusion mounted on the upper guard that
lower guard covers the front lower section of the saw blade as a safety measure,
preventing access to the front edge of the saw when the lower pivoting
guard is rotated out of the cutting line.
Interlock lever A small moulded 'L' shaped extrusion that is sprung loaded to engage
with front lower section of the rotating guard. It needs to be moved out
of the path of the front lower guard section to allow the guard to rotate
out of the cutting line of the saw.
Main saw Aluminium casting that mounts all the other pieces of the mitre saw. It
chassis has 4 moulded feet that are bored to allow fixing screws or bolts to be
inserted to secure the saw to a stable work surface or a 'quick mounting'
board. The front edge of the casting has a relieved terrace that has the
'turn' scale (50˚ left to 50˚ right) raised in bas relief. Below the front
apron of the casting are a series of castellated notches that allow the
turn table positioning handle to pre-locate at various angles. Through the
sides of the casting are the holes for inserting the extended work
support rails. There is a further extruded land beyond the entrance
holes, on the underside of the chassis that are the stabilising locations
for the end of the support rails. The front of the chassis has two drilled
and tapped holes that run through the support rail housings and take the
small star headed bolts used to clamp the support rails in position. On
the front of the chassis proper are two square extrusions, bored through
to allow the mounting of the work piece clamps.
