Sliding Table Saw Operation Manual

# Sliding Table Saw Operation Manual## Introduction This sliding table saw is a high-precision woodworking machine designed for cutting solid wood, plywood, MDF, particleboard, and other sheet materials. With its stable sliding table, powerful motor, and precise cutting system, it is widely used in furniture manufacturing, cabinet making, woodworking workshops, and other professional scenarios. This manual provides detailed operation guidelines to ensure safe and efficient use. ## Safety Precautions### Before Operation 1. **Personal Protection**: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety goggles, dust masks, and non-slip gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair that may get entangled in the machine. 2. **Machine Inspection**: Check if the saw blade is sharp, intact, and properly installed. Ensure all screws, nuts, and fasteners are tightened. Verify that the sliding table moves smoothly without jamming. 3. **Workshop Environment**: Keep the work area clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Remove any obstacles around the machine to ensure sufficient operating space. 4. **Power Supply**: Confirm that the power supply voltage matches the machine's rated voltage. Check the power cord for damage; do not use the machine if the cord is frayed or broken. ### During Operation1. **No Overreach**: Do not reach over the saw blade or sliding table while the machine is running. Keep hands at least 10cm away from the blade during cutting. 2. **Material Preparation**: Ensure the workpiece is free of nails, screws, or other metal debris that may damage the saw blade. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during cutting. 3. **Emergency Stop**: Familiarize yourself with the location of the emergency stop button. Press it immediately if any abnormal situation occurs (e.g., blade jamming, abnormal noise, or workpiece displacement). 4. **Single Operation**: Do not allow multiple people to operate the machine simultaneously without proper coordination. ### After Operation1. **Power Off**: Turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintaining the machine. 2. **Cleaning**: Remove sawdust and debris from the sliding table, saw blade, and machine body using a brush or vacuum cleaner. Do not use water to clean electrical components. 3. **Storage**: Store the machine in a dry, cool place. Cover it with a dust cover to prevent dust accumulation. ## Operation Steps### 1. Machine Setup1. Place the sliding table saw on a flat, stable surface. Adjust the leveling feet to ensure the machine is balanced. 2. Install the appropriate saw blade according to the cutting requirements (e.g., cross-cutting, rip-cutting). Tighten the blade nut securely using the provided wrench. 3. Connect the power cord to a grounded power outlet. Turn on the power switch and check if the saw blade rotates smoothly without abnormal noise. ### 2. Parameter Adjustment1. **Cutting Height**: Adjust the saw blade height using the height adjustment handle. The blade should extend 2-3mm above the workpiece surface for optimal cutting results. 2. **Cutting Angle**: For cross-cutting, set the saw blade to 90° using the angle adjustment knob. For bevel cutting, adjust the blade angle between 0° and 45° as needed. 3. **Sliding Table Position**: Adjust the sliding table according to the width of the workpiece. Lock the sliding table in place using the locking lever to prevent movement during cutting. ### 3. Cutting Operation1. Place the workpiece on the sliding table, ensuring it is aligned with the cutting guide. Press the workpiece firmly against the fence to avoid deviation. 2. Start the machine by pressing the start button. Wait for the saw blade to reach full speed before feeding the workpiece. 3. Push the sliding table smoothly and steadily to feed the workpiece into the saw blade. Do not force the workpiece or push it too quickly, as this may cause rough cuts or blade jamming. 4. After cutting, release the sliding table and let it return to the original position. Turn off the machine and wait for the saw blade to stop completely before removing the cut workpiece. ## Maintenance & Troubleshooting### Regular Maintenance 1. **Lubrication**: Apply lubricating oil to the sliding table rails, angle adjustment mechanism, and height adjustment screw every 15 days to ensure smooth operation. 2. **Blade Maintenance**: Sharpen the saw blade regularly to maintain cutting sharpness. Replace the blade if it is damaged, dull, or warped. 3. **Dust Removal**: Clean the dust collection system regularly to prevent clogging, which may affect the machine's performance and working environment. ### Common Troubleshooting| Problem | Cause | Solution | |---------|-------|----------| | Rough cutting surface | Dull saw blade or incorrect blade height | Sharpen or replace the saw blade; adjust the blade height properly | | Sliding table jamming | Sawdust accumulation or unlubricated rails | Clean the rails and apply lubricating oil | | Abnormal noise during operation | Loose blade nut or unbalanced blade | Tighten the blade nut; check and balance the saw blade | | Machine not starting | Power supply failure or damaged power cord | Check the power outlet and replace the damaged cord | ## Technical Specifications - Rated Voltage: 220V/380V (Customizable) - Rated Power: 3.0-5.5KW - Saw Blade Diameter: 300-400mm - Sliding Table Stroke: 800-1200mm - Cutting Capacity (90°): 80-120mm - Cutting Capacity (45°): 50-80mm - Net Weight: 150-300KGFor further assistance or technical support, please contact our customer service team.
