CLAMP HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS
(i)
The
Mitre
Clamp
handle
(18)
may
need
to be
adjusted
if its
secure position means
it
hinders
use of
the
elvating handle.
In
such
a
case,
simply
slacken
the
clamp handle
and
push
it
into
the
casting
so
that
the nut on the
other
end
protrudes from
its
surrounding
casting.
You can
then tighten
up the nut
half
a
turn
and
pull
the
clamp handle back
out so
that
when
it is
again
retightened
it
does
not
obstruct
the
elevating
handle.
(ii)
The
Bevel
Clamp
handle (12)
may be
adjusted
in
the.
same
way as in (i)
above
but you may
find
it
easier
to do so
with
the
motor
in its
vertical position.
(iii)
The
adjustment
of the
yoke clamp
is a
little
more
involved.
If
you
find
that
the
Yoke Clamp
has
insufficient
movement
to
satisfactorily
clamp
the
yoke securely,
adjust
as
follows:
(a)
Remove
the arm
end-cap.
(b)
Remove
the
complete yoke assembly
from
the arm
tracks.
(c)
While
levering
the
spring steel locking flange
downwards with
a
screwdriver
(as
shown
in
Fig.
26)
so
that
it
will
pass over
the lug on the
yoke casting,
turn
the
central bolt
in the top of the
yoke with
a
large
screwdriver
so
that
the
locking flange
underneath moves
on one
segment past
the
lug.
(d)
Having removed
the
small screwdriver used
as a
lever,
check that
the
clamp does lock satisfactorily
within
the
movement
arc
available
and
then return
the
yoke assembly
to the
armtracks.
NOTE:
While
the
yoke assembly
is
removed
from
the
arm, take
the
opportunity
to
clean
the
bearings
and
the arm
tracks with
a
clean
dry
cloth.
(e)
Replace
the arm
end-cap.

HINTS
ON
GENERAL CARE
OF
YOUR POWERSHOP
1.
Keep
the
machine
clean
for
efficient operation.
A
build-up
of
dust
in the
immediate vicinity
of the
machine could
be
hazardous
and
lead
to
inaccuracy.
2.
When
changing
or
remounting
the
sawblade, make
sure
that
the
blade
and
adjacent flanges
are
clean
before
securing.
3.
Keep
the
worktable clear
of
sawdust. Just
a
small
amount
of
dust between
the
fence
and the
material
to
be
cut
could cause inaccuracy.
4.
From time
to
time wipe
the arm
tracks with
a
clean,
dry
cloth
to
eliminate dust build-up which
can
ensue
particulary
after
a lot of rip
cutting
or
sanding.
To
clean
the arm
tracks
and the 3
yoke bearings,
you
may
find
it
easier
to
detach
the arm end cap and
remove
the
yoke assembly completely from
the
tracks.
White
spirit
can be
used
if
necessary
to
remove
compacted dust.
If
you
remove
the
yoke assembly, when replacing
it
be
sure
to
tighten
the
retaining screws
in the arm end
cap
securely.
5.
Never attempt
to
lubricate
the
surface
of
these
bearings
or the arm
tracks,
as
this
can
cause
premature
wear
and
inaccuracy.
6.
When carrying your Powershop resist
the
temptation
to
lift
it by
gripping
the
worktable
—
grip
the
base
frame instead.
If you
lift
it by the
worktable
you
risk
twisting
it and
therefore
reducing
the
accuracy
of
your
machine.
