This document is the original instruction manual for the AEG PSUM1000 Mobile Mitre Saw Stand. It provides essential information for assembling, operating, and maintaining the product, emphasizing the importance of reading and understanding all instructions to prevent personal injury and ensure proper use. The manual states that it is subject to technical modifications.
Function Description:
The AEG PSUM1000 is a mobile mitre saw stand designed to provide a stable, secure work surface for mitre saws, particularly for cutting operations. It features work supports and extension arms to firmly support workpieces, and quick-release saw mounting brackets for easy attachment and removal of a mitre saw. The stand is designed to be used on a flat, stable surface and can be adjusted for height and length to accommodate various workpieces. It can be opened into an operational position and closed into a vertical or horizontal closed position for transport and storage. The stand is not intended for any other purpose than supporting a mitre saw and workpiece.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Work support range: 1170 - 2790 mm
- Maximum load: 136 kg (This applies to the combined weight of the mitre saw and workpiece, and also to the maximum loading on each work support).
- Range of saw mounting bracket slots: 290 - 435.5 mm
- Weight: 27 kg
Usage Features:
Assembly: The manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for assembling the stand, including:
- Unpacking: Identifying all loose parts (work stops, work supports, quick release saw mounting brackets, top rails, frame support, handle, wheels, feet, and various bolts, nuts, washers, and knobs).
- Installing the Wheels: Attaching the wheels to the frame using axle bolts, wheel washers, and lock nuts.
- Attaching the Handle: Securing the handle to the stand assembly using handle bolts and acorn nuts.
- Installing the Frame Support: Attaching the frame support to the stand assembly, including placing the feet with the logo facing the frame, and securing with foot bolts and wing nuts.
- Securing the Top Rails to the Central Brace: Raising the stand assembly to its vertical closed position (resting on wheels and frame support) and then aligning and securing the top rails to the central brace using bolts and lock nuts.
Opening and Closing the Stand:
- Opening: Stand at the wheel side, grasp the handle, step on the release lever, and pull the handle toward you while easing the stand assembly toward the floor until it locks in the open position.
- Closing: If a mitre saw is assembled, ensure the blade is at 90° to the table, mitre the blade to the right as far as it will go, lock the saw arm in the down position, and lock all knobs and levers. Then, stand at the wheel side, grasp the handle, step on the release lever, and tilt the unit toward you, slowly lowering it to the horizontal closed position. Alternatively, it can be raised to a vertical closed position by stepping on the axle frame between the wheels and pushing the release lever into place.
Installing Work Supports and Work Stops:
- Work Stops: Align the slot in the work stop with the hole in the work support, slide a bolt through, and secure with an adjustment knob.
- Work Supports: Slide the support arm out, insert the work support into the bracket, and secure with an adjustment knob. Work supports should be positioned in front of the saw fence.
Attaching the Mitre Saw to the Mounting Brackets:
- The manual details how to attach the mitre saw to the quick-release mounting brackets, ensuring proper alignment and secure fastening with bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts. It emphasizes checking for even balance and avoiding gravity shift.
- Mounting the Mitre Saw to the Stand: The mitre saw and bracket assembly are placed onto the top rails, ensuring the front and rear clamps seat fully, and then locked in position by lowering the locking levers. All mounting bolts and nuts must be securely tightened.
- Removing the Saw from the Stand: Squeeze the locking lever release trigger, raise the locking levers, grasp the brackets, and lift the assembly away from the top rails.
Transporting and Storing the Stand:
- Transporting: Retract supporting arms, place and lock the stand in the vertical closed position, then tilt it onto its wheels and roll to the desired location. Always move a mounted saw opposite the wheeled end.
- Storing: Store the stand on a stable flat surface in either the vertical or horizontal closed position.
Optional Work Surface:
- Instructions are provided for mounting an optional work surface (e.g., wood, PVC) using screws (not included) to create an additional workspace.
