• WARNING! The machine is designed for light metal cutting work in engineering workshops, garages, metal fabricators, etc.
• The SM5.V3 MUST NOT be used to cut any other materials (including wood).
• NOTE: The harder the material being cut, the slower the cutting speed should be. The use of a cutting oil is recommended with the higher blade speeds.

Horizontal Cutting

• Ensure that the saw is disconnected from the power supply.
• Adjust the blade speed to suit the workpiece material (see Section 5.3).
• Raise the saw arm to the vertical position and engage the support plate, see Fig. 20.
• Adjust the stock stop to the desired length.
• Loosen the fixed vice plate bolts (11 & 52) and adjust the vice to the desired angle, see 0-to-450 scale (39) on the bed. Retighten bolts.
• Loosen the moveable vice plate bolt (36) and wind the plate up to the fixed plate so that the plates are fully touching. Tighten the bolt (36) to maintain the moveable plate parallel to the fixed plate.
• Open the vice, insert the workpiece, and clamp it securely.
• Adjust the two blade guides, by slackening the clamp screws (56 & 66), so that they are close to the workpiece but will not foul it.
• Gently lower the arm until the blade is just above the workpiece. Connect the saw to the power supply and start the saw. DO NOT turn on the machine until the workpiece is secured and the blade has been lowered to just above the workpiece.
• Bring the blade into contact with the workpiece and then release the arm. If the blade jams and the saw does not automatically shut off, immediately disconnect it from the power supply. Refer to the ‘Troubleshooting’ section for common problems.
• When sawing is completed disconnect from the power supply, raise the blade, and remove the workpiece.
• WARNING! Never raise the blade when a machine is running and never run the machine when the blade is raised (unless correctly set up for vertical cutting).

Vertical Cutting

• Ensure that the saw is disconnected from the power supply.
• Adjust the blade speed to suit the workpiece material (see sections 5.3. and 5.4).
• Raise the saw arm to the vertical position and rotate the support plate (18) so that it engages into the notch in the edge of the main body frame, see Fig. 20. Adjust vertical travel by winding the vertical stop bolt out or in, see Fig. 18.
• Remove the two screws (68) from the end face of the lower blade guide, see white arrows in Fig. 12, remove the blade guard (69), and replace it with the table (55) and its support (56). Loosen the lower blade guide nut and washer sufficiently to allow the slotted end of the support to pass between the washer and body frame and then retighten the nut. Retain the table by replacing screws (68), see Fig. 19.
• Adjust the upper blade guide so that no more blade is exposed than is required to cut the workpiece.
• When cutting keep hands well clear of the blade and always use a push stick for small workpieces.
• When cutting is complete immediately switch off the saw.
• WARNING! Refit the blade guard (69), see Fig. 21, before using the saw for horizontal cutting.

BLADE CHANGING

• WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
• All adjustments that relate to the smooth and safe running of the blade have been set at the factory. However, if you require to replace a blade due to it being worn out or if you need to change to a blade with a different tooth size it will be necessary to readjust the saw.
• Changing and tensioning the blade
• WARNING! Take care when handling saw blades, blade teeth are very sharp.
• Raise the sawing arm to the vertical position and engage the support plate see Fig. 20.
• Open the blade back safety panel by removing the screw (58) and hinge it open as shown in Fig. 21.
• Before the blade can be removed release the tension on the blade by turning the blade tension knob (79), see Fig. 21, anticlockwise.
• Remove the lower blade guard (69) and loosen the lowest screw on the upper blade guide and slide the guide away from the blade to the end of its slotted mounting hole, see Fig. 17 and Fig. 22.
• Ease the blade away from the lowest pulley wheel first and support it as you remove it from the upper pulley wheel then carefully remove the blade from between the guides.
• Place the new blade through the guides first and then ease it around the lower pulley wheel. (Ensure that the tooth direction is consistent with the blade traveling left to right in the cutting area.)
• Retain the blade on the lower pulley with one hand and take up the tension at the top of the blade with the other hand. Then use both hands to ease the blade over the upper pulley.
• Begin to tension the blade by turning the knob (79), see Fig. 21, clockwise but as you do so make sure that the back edge of the blade is seated against the rim of both pulleys.
• Check that the blade is seating properly by turning the upper pulley by hand using the three spokes of the wheel) until you have observed a full rotation of the blade.
• Once the blade is properly aligned increase the tension until the blade flexes by approx. 1mm when pressed at the midway point between the two pulleys.
• Replace the lower blade guard (69), see Fig. 21, and move the upper blade guide back into its position over the blade.
• Close the blade protection safety cover and secure it with the plastic-headed thumb screw.
• Reconnect the saw to the power source and run it for two to three minutes to seat the blade.
• Disconnect the saw from the mains. Open the blade back safety cover recheck the tension and adjust if required. Close safety cover.

Blade tracking adjustment

• Adjustment of the blade tracking is necessary to prevent the blade from twisting or coming off the blade wheels. This adjustment should also be made whenever a new blade is fitted (see section 7.2).
• Run saw for a short time and then switch off.
• Raise the saw arm, open the blade safety panel, and check the blade-to-wheel relationship. The rear edge of the blade should be very close to, but not hard against, the wheel flanges.
• If inspection indicates that adjustment is required reduce blade tension (see para. 7.2.3. and loosen the blade tracking lock nut as seen in Fig. 22.
• Place a 4mm hex tool into the adjuster and rotate in or out as required whilst rotating the upper pulley by hand (using the three spokes of the wheel) until tracking appears corrected. Re-tighten the blade tracking lock nut.
• Having made a small adjustment, tension blade, replace blade cover, lower arm, and run saw for a short time.
• Switch the saw off, remove the blade cover, and check tracking. Repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary.

Blade guide bearing adjustment

• Correct guide bearing adjustment is important so that the blade runs smoothly and evenly without twisting or snagging anywhere along its path. Each of the outer guide bearings is mounted on an adjustable eccentric bushing.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Loosen the lock nut while holding the bearing bolt with an open-ended spanner, see Fig. 23.
• Turn the bolt to adjust the bearing. The bearing should barely touch the blade (0.001″). This clearance can be measured with a piece of thin paper which should just fit into the gap between the bearings and the blade. Tighten the lock nut when satisfied with the bearing adjustment.
• Adjust both outer guide bearings. When satisfied that the adjustment is accurate, carefully turn the blade wheels by hand to see if the blade snags or rubs at any point.
• Readjust bearing(s) if necessary.

Blade guide adjustment

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply. (Figure 24 shows the blade guard (69) removed for clarity. It is not necessary to remove the blade guard to make the following adjustments).
• To adjust the blade guide loosen the bolt indicated in fig.24. and allow the single bearing which runs on the back of the blade to rest on the blade without exerting any pressure.
• Rotate the blade guide (as shown in Fig. 24) until the blade is perpendicular to the machine bed.
• Retighten the hex bolt ensuring that no pressure is applied to the back of the blade.
• Adjust the second blade guide in the same manner.

Cutting feed pressure

• The weight of the cutting arm itself applies pressure to the cutting blade and therefore to the workpiece. An adjustable spring is attached to the arm and as the spring pressure is increased the cutting pressure is decreased.
• If the saw is making crooked or rough cuts or overheating is occurring it may be necessary to decrease the feed pressure by turning the chromed adjusting rod in a clockwise direction as shown in Fig. 25.
• If the saw blade becomes dull quickly it may be necessary to increase the feed pressure by turning the chromed adjusting rod in an anticlockwise direction as shown in Fig. 7.

MAINTENANCE

• Clean the saw after each operation and smear unpainted surfaces with oil to prevent rusting. Lubricate the vice lead screw (32) as necessary.
• Annually replace gearbox oil (SAE 90) as follows:
• With the blade arm horizontal remove the gearbox cover screws (75), cover (93), and gasket (92).
• Place the oil container under the right-hand lower corner of the gearbox and then carefully raise the saw arm fully to drain the oil.
• Lower the saw arm, remove any remaining oil from the gearbox with clean cloths, and then refill with fresh oil. Replace the cover and gasket.
