Epson RS830 instruction manual Locking the Switch in the OFF Position, Guide to Controls

LOCKING THE SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, lock the switch in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use, using a padlock (D) Fig. 44 with a 3/16" diameter shackle

In the event of a power outage (such as a breaker or fuse trip), always move the switch to the “OFF” position until the main power is restored.

A.THE TABLE CLAMP KNOBS allow you to quickly set the desired fence position (Fig. G).

B.THE TRACK ARM INDEXING RELEASE HANDLE releases the indexing pin from the 0° and 45° positions to allow the arm to rotate. Depress the handle to release the index pin (Fig. G).

C.THE TRACK ARM ELEVATING HANDLE controls the depth-of-cut in all operations. Turn the handle clockwise to raise, or counter-clockwise to lower the track arm (Fig. G).

D.THE MITER SCALE indicates the degrees left and right

for setting track arm to desired miter angle (Fig. G).

F.THE RIP SCALE indicates the in and out rip positions of the cutterhead (Fig. E).

G.THE BLADE GUARD CLAMP KNOB clamps the blade guard at rotated positions for ripping (Fig.G.

H.THE BEVEL CLAMP HANDLE controls the tilt of the motor for bevel cutting operations. It also locks the motor at any desired angle on the bevel scale.

Lift the handle to loosen, and push it down to lock (Fig. G).

J.THE BEVEL INDEX RELEASE KNOB allows the motor to position in the 0°, 45°, and 90° bevel settings. To tilt the motor for bevel cutting, loosen the bevel clamp handle. To release the index, pull out the release knob (Fig. G).

K.THE YOKE INDEXING RELEASE LEVER allows the saw to achieve a 90° position for ripping or cross-cutting operations. Loosen the yoke clamp handle to rotate the yoke. Push the release lever either up or down to release the indexing pin (Fig. G).

L.THE YOKE CLAMP HANDLE must be loose when rotating the yoke between the rip and cross-cutting position. Pull the handle to release and push it to lock (Fig. H).

M.THE ANTI-KICKBACK DEVICE helps to prevent injury or damage caused by kickback. When ripping, position and clamp the yoke so that the blade is parallel to the fence. Rotate the rear of the blade guard until it almost touches the workpiece. Lower the anti-kickback rod so that the fingers catch and hold the workpiece. Never rip from the anti-kickback end of the blade guard (Fig. H).

N.THE ON-OFF SWITCH is conveniently located, and can be turned on or off in an instant for added operation protection. You can also lock this switch in the "OFF" position to

prevent unauthorized use using an accessory padlock (Fig. H).

P.THE CUTTING-HEAD CLAMP KNOB locks the cutting-head at any position on the track arm. Tighten the clamp knob (Fig. H).

R. THE BEVEL SCALE indicates the degree of rotation for setting motor bevel positions (Fig. H).

S. THE TRACK ARM CLAMP HANDLE controls the rotation of the track arm for all miter cutting operations. It locks the track arm at any miter angle position. To rotate the track arm to the right, loosen the clamp handle and rotate the arm. The arm will stop at 45°. To rotate past 45°, depress the indexing release handle and rotate. The arm will rotate an additional 5°. To rotate to the left, the operation is the same except that you must depress the indexing release handle to start the rotation (Fig. H).
