Once the sliding beam is in position, release the beam lock to allow it
to be slid into positions which will give access to the T shaped slot of
the beam carrier. Place the T profile nuts into the T shaped slot in the
beam carrier, Fig 6.38. Position the T profile nuts so they are in line
with the holes in the plate and saw unit and secure back in place with 110 mm
the hex head bolts and washers as shown in Fig 6.38.

Use a straight edge to help achieve the correct position of the sliding
beam in relation to the cast iron table, Fig 6.39. The sliding beam
should be 0.2 - 0.3 mm higher than the cast iron table. This will ensure
the table supports the timber adequately whilst also allowing the beam
to travel freely.

To raise or lower the beam, loosen the hex head bolts which secure
the beam to the saw unit and adjust the blind set screws, Fig 6.40.
Adjusting these screws will adjust the position of the plates above them Fig 6.38
and therefore the beam itself which rests on the plates. A feeler gauge,
if available, can be helpful in determining the correct position.

Please note: It is essential to set the sliding beam correctly. T profile

If it is too high then the cast iron table cannot support the nut
workpiece adequately and the cut will not be accurate. If
too low, the timber will drag on the cast iron table, also
producing ani inaccurate cut.

Tools needed - 13 mm wrench and 3 mm hex wrench (not supplied).

Please note: There are different sizes of right hand

extension tables available for the TS250RS. The standard Cast iron table hex head
table extension supplied with the machine offers a ripping socket adjustment screws
capacity of 610 mm and the optional table extension offers
a capacity ofi935 mm. The same procedure applies to the
fitment of both extension tables.

The TS250RS-RE Right Hand Extension table is supplied

with a longer rip fence rail and rip fence scale to replace
the standard length ones supplied. These longer items Fig 6.63
are necessary to accommodate the extra table width. If
installing the optional right hand extension table during
initial assembly of the TS250RS, use the longer items Tapped holes
supplied and disregard the standard table, rip fence and rip
fence scale supplied with the TS250RS.

Rear Extension Table

The rear of the cast iron table features two tapped holes as shown in
Fig 6.63. Attach the rear table extension to the rear of the main table
by placing 2 M8 x 20 mm screws through the holes in the rear of the
extension table and screwing into the cast iron table. Ensure 2 M8
washers are placed on the inside of the extension table holes, Fig 6.64.

Ensure that the rear table extension is flush with the main table by
placing a straight edge across them. Fine adjustment can be made
Fig 6.65
by using the 2 M8 blind set screws located in the end of the table
extension, Fig 6.64. It may help to tighten the bolts enough to secure
the extension table in place and then gently tap the table down using a
mallet onto a block of wood as shown in Fig 6.65. Ensure the table is
flush along its full width. Once the table is correctly adjusted the bolts
can be fully tightened.

The side extension table is attached in the same way, using four M8 x
20 mm bolts and washers into the holes beneath the table extension,
Fig 6.66, and through the tapped holes in the side of the cast iron
table. Fine adjustment is also carried out as previously described using
the blind set screws, Fig 6.66, prior to fully tightening the securing
bolts. Ensure the table is flush along its full length.

Once fitted, the tables should appear as Fig 6.67.

Fitting the Extraction Hose Support Fig 6.66

Tools needed - 5 mm hex wrench and cross head screw driver.

At the rear of the side of the right hand extension table are two tapped Adjustment
holes, Fig 6.68. Using a 5 mm hex wrench, attach the extraction hose screws

Aligning the Rip Fence
Once the rip fence is fully assembled, it must be aligned with the cast
Fig 6.81
iron table.

The fence must be aligned parallel to the side of the cast iron table, and
therefore the blade, in order to allow accurate and straight cuts to be
made. To align parallel, adjust both bolts on each support stud to allow
forwards and backwards movement of the rail until it is supporting the
rip fence parallel with the table, Fig 6.81.

The fence must also be at 90º to the table surface. Slightly loosen the
nuts of the rip fence rail support studs to allow the rail to tilt up and
down as shown in Fig 6.82 until 90º is achieved. It is easier to check
the angle with the fence in the upright position as shown.

Tip: To retain the fence position to be parallel with the cast Fig 6.82
iron table from the previous operation, only slightly loosen
the bolts on the outside of the table, i.e. those closest to
the front of the machine. This will allow the rear bolts
underneath thei table to remain registered in the correct
position.

Should it become necessary to replace any parts of the machine, only

genuine Record Power spare i parts should be used. Failure to do so may
result in the guarantee becoming void. Inferior parts may adversely
affect the performance of the machine.
Fig 8.2
The replaced parts must be disposed of in compliance with the laws in
force in the country of use. The replacement of certain parts requires
specific training and technical skills. For this reason, any work should be
carried out by qualified personnel to prevent damage to the machine
and risks to the safety of the user.

Machine Lubrication
The table surfaces should be cleaned regularly with white spirit to
remove any deposits of resin. They should then be treated with a coat Cast iron table hex head
of silicone lubricant (such as Record Power CWA195) to protect the socket adjustment screws
surfaces of the tables and reduce friction of the work piece when
feeding.

Most of the working components of the machine (bearings etc) are

sealed for life and require no maintenance.

Periodically, the trunnions of the saw unit and the blade adjustment Fig 8.3
Trunnion
screws must be cleaned and lubricated. Over time they will attract
wood dust and if this is not removed it can lead to seizure of the blade
adjustment screws.

To gain access to the blade angle adjustment screw, remove the access

unit to aid access.

To gain access to the blade height adjustment screw, the cast iron table
must be removed.

Firstly remove the rip fence, rip fence rail and scale bracket. Remove
the right hand and rear extension tables before removing the cast iron
table. There are 4 hex head socket screws holding the table to the saw
unit, 2 at the front and 2 at the back as shown in Fig 8.2. Remove
these using a 6 mm hex wrench then carefully lift the table from the
saw unit. The trunnions, Fig 8.3, and blade height adjustment screw, Fig 8.4

Please note: The blade angle is factory set and is extremely
unlikely to be inaccurate. If any adjustment is required it is
advisable to have a qualified and competent person carry
out the task.
i
Tools needed: Try square and 6 mm hex wrench.

The blade adjustment handles operate 2 screws which move the blade
as required by means of a threaded tube attached to the screw and
the saw unit. The blade angle adjustment screw features 2 stop nuts at
each end. To adjust the preset angles of 90º and 45º, these stop nuts
must be re-positioned. The 45º stop nut is located to the left hand side
of the screw, near to the access hatch as shown in Fig 8.5. The 90º
stop nut is located at the opposite end of the screw and can be found Fig 8.6
beneath the saw unit.

To set the 90º blade stop nut in the correct position, first ensure the
blade is at 90º to the table. Using a 3 mm hex wrench, loosen the blind
set screw in the side of the stop nut. Move the stop nut until it touches
the threaded tube on the screw and re-tighten the blind set screw.

To set the 45º blade stop nut, its position must be altered in increments
and tested. This is because when the blade is at 45º the position of
the saw unit prevents access to the stop nut. If the blade cannot be

Replacing the Blade

Raise the saw blade to its highest point using the rise and fall hand
wheel and remove the blade guard. Fig 8.7
Beneath the sliding beam is a safety plate which must be removed
to gain access to the blade. The plate has a micro switch at one end
to prevent the machine being turned on while changing the blade.
It is essential to remove this plate before changing the blade. Move
the sliding beam as far back as possible to reveal the front screw of
the blade safety plate, Fig 8.6, and remove the screw. Now move the
sliding beam forwards to reveal the rear screw and remove it, Fig 8.7.

Basic Circular Saw Principle
The blade rotates on a spindle, and breaks through the timber, cutting
on a continuous stroke, Fig 9.1.
Blade guard Riving knife
Switch
The control switch is located on the side of the main saw body, Fig
9.2. To start the machine, lift the yellow flap and press the green start
button marked ‘I’.
To stop the machine, press the red button marked ‘O’. In case of
emergency, press the red emergency stop button located on the front of Fig 9.2
the yellow flap.
If the emergency stop button is pressed, the yellow flap will lock in
position. To release, push the tab on the side of the red button inwards
and lift the flap as shown in Fig 9.2.

Workpiece Support
Good workpiece support is essential when using a table saw. Additional
supports should always be used if the workpiece overhangs the table.
Roller stands are ideal for this purpose and should be used at both
infeed and outfeed ends of the machine.

Use of a Push Stick

A push stick should always be used when making any cut less than 300
mm in length or when feeding the last 300 mm of a longer cut.
The leading hand should never be closer than necessary to the front of
the saw and hands should never be in line with the saw blade. Fig 9.3
A push-stick should always be used to remove the cut piece from
between the saw blade and fence. 5 mm gap

Setting the Blade Height

The blade height must be adjusted so the blade guard is no more than
5 mm higher than the timber and the teeth should also project through
the top of the workpiece as in Fig 9.3. The blade height is controlled
using the hand wheel on the front of the machine, Fig 9.4.

Setting the Blade Angle

To tilt the blade in order to achieve a bevelled edge, turn the hand
wheel on the right hand side of the machine, Fig 9.4, until the blade is
positioned as required.

Cutting Guidelines
Kg
Do not remove the timber from the saw blade part way through a
cutting operation. Always finish the cut for the safest operation and
do not pull the timber back towards the operator whilst the blade is in
motion. i
If the timber becomes stuck, disconnect the machine from the power
source before carefully removing it from the saw blade. B
Never push the timber into the blade with great force. Feed the timber
slowly and carefully. Harder and thicker timber will require a slower
feed rate than soft or thin material.
A
Ensure the timber does not contain any metal objects such as screws or
nails. If these come into contact with the blade, they could be thrown
from it at great speed.
Always use a push stick in order to keep the hands as far away from Fig 9.6
the blade as practically possible.

Never attempt to use the machine without the blade guard

and riving knife in position, Fig 10.1. Always ensure that
the blade guard and riving knife are correctly adjusted to
Kg

suit the size and type of workpiece and that they are fully
secured with the original
i fixings supplied.
Both components are essential for safe use of the machine.
The blade guard shields the blade from the operator during
use and the riving knife ensures that the cut in the timber
does not close as it passes beyond the blade, therefore
reducing the risk of the timber binding to the blade.

Working Position Fig 9.7

The machine has been designed for use by only one person.
Please take note of the correct working position for different cutting
operations as shown in Fig 9.5.
Position A – Parallel cutting using the rip fence.
Position B – Cross cutting or panel cutting using the sliding table.

Cutting
The choice of cutting method depends on the dimensions of the wood
to be machined and the type of machining to be carried out.

Ripping
When the timber is to be cut with the grain, use the rip fence as shown
in Fig 9.6. Lock the sliding table and keep the work piece against the
rip fence, pushing it carefully towards the blade. Always use a push stick
when feeding the work piece in to the blade or when clearing off cuts
from the work area. Fig 9.8

Cross Cutting
When the timber is cut across the grain, use the mitre fence and sliding
carriage as shown in, Fig 9.7.

Bevelled Edge
When an angle less than 90º is required to the work piece cut, tilt
the blade as shown in Fig 9.8. When the rip fence is being used with
the blade tilted, it should be used in the lower position to prevent it
touching the blade and blade guard, Fig 9.8.

45
 9. Operation & Sawing Practice
Panel Sizing
Dimensioning man made sheet material can be done using the rip fence
Fig 9.9
as shown in Fig 9.9 but for more accurate results it is recommended
that the sliding carriage and squaring frame are used.
When machining large panels, position the cross cut fence and the
squaring frame as shown in Fig 9.10. In this position the maximum
cutting length is obtained.

First Cut
Slide the sliding beam as far forward (towards the front of the machine)
as possible. Place the panel against the cross cut fence, set the cutting
width by placing the panel against the cross cut fence flip-over stop
and hold it in place with the stop plate. Make the first cut along side 1.

Second Cut
Turn the panel 90º counter-clockwise. Place the side previously cut
against the cross cut fence, set the cutting width by placing the panel
against the cross cut fence flip-over stop and hold it in place with the Fig 9.10
stop plate and cut side 2.

Third Cut Flip-over

Turn the panel 90º counter-clockwise. Place the side previously cut stop 3 1
against the cross cut fence, set the cutting width by placing the panel

stop plate and cut side 3. 2
Fourth Cut Stop plate
Turn the panel 90º counter-clockwise. Place the side previously cut
against the cross cut fence, set the cutting width by placing the panel
against the cross cut fence flip-over stop and hold it in place with the
stop plate and cut side 4.

9. Operation & Sawing Practice
Kickback Blade centre point
Kickback can occur as the material passes through the saw blade. When Fig 9.11
the timber is past the centre point of the blade the teeth are moving
upwards and towards the user, Fig. 9.11. If the timber closes onto
these upward moving teeth, the timber may kickback.
The way to overcome kickback is to prevent the timber from closing up
onto the blade. To do so, the fence must be set correctly. If the rip fence
is placed with too much of it beyond the centre point of the blade,
it can force the timber into the blade, causing kickback. By ensuring
the fence is positioned fully in front of the centre point, Fig 9.12, the
timber has space to move into as the cut is made. Kickback is now far
less likely to occur as the timber isn't being forced into the upward
moving blade. work piece

Please note: Ensure the rip fence is parallel to the cast iron
table and blade. If the rip fence is not parallel it can push Fig 9.12 Rip fence
the timber into the blade and this can also cause kickback.
Blade centre
i point
In the Event of a Blockage or if the Machine Stalls
If the machine stalls due to the blade becoming trapped in the work
piece, switch it off immediately by pressing the red button marked ‘O’
on the switch.
If the blade is trapped within the work piece, it may be necessary to
prize the work piece apart slightly using a suitable lever in order to free
the blade.
To re-start the machine, press the green button marked ‘I’ on the switch.

In the Event of a Power Failure

The table saw is fitted with a no volt release (NVR) switch to protect
the user against automatic starting of the machine when power is
restored after a power failure.
In the event of a power failure, first locate and rectify the source of
the failure. If the fault is within the power circuit of the workshop,
there may be an underlying cause (circuit overload etc.) that should be
investigated by a qualified electrician, before attempting to restore the
power source.
If a cutting operation was taking place when the power supply was
interrupted, then it may be necessary to free the blade from the work
piece before attempting to re-start the machine.
Once the power is restored, the machine can be re-started by pressing
the green button marked ‘I’ on the switch.

 9. Operation & Sawing Practice
Blade Selection
Before undertaking any application on a table saw is important to
Fig 9.13
consider blade selection. There are many blade types available and
it is important to select the right blade for each task. This machine is
supplied with a good multi-purpose blade, but for specialist applications
a blade with a different tooth pattern may be required.

When choosing a table saw blade always ensure that it is a hard bodied
blade as soft bodied blades are only suitable for power tools. The
easiest way to tell the difference between hard and soft bodied blades
Hard Bodied
is that hard bodied blades have movement slots cut into the gullets of Suitable for table saws
i
the blade, Fig 9.13, and soft bodied blades are solid, Fig 9.14.
The correct blade should be used for the type and thickness of material
being cut. As a general rule, 2 to 3 teeth should cut at the same time, as
shown in Fig 9.15. Where only 1 tooth cuts the work piece at a time as Fig 9.14
in Fig 9.16, the quality of finish will be adversely affected.

Types of Blades and Their Teeth
Fig 9.17
Rip Blade
These blades have flat topped teeth and lower tooth numbers for
efficient and accurate ripping with minimal friction or burning that can
be experienced with the wrong blade choice. Fig 9.17.

General Purpose Blade

This blade has alternating top bevels on the teeth and is in the mid
range of teeth per inch. This provides the best compromise to enable
efficient rip cuts, cross-cutting of timber and for sizing plywood,
chipboard and other wood based panels. If undertaking large volumes
of ripping or cross-cutting, a dedicated blade will provide better
performance but these are a good all-rounder for varied use. Fig 9.18.

Cross-Cutting Blade
Can be alternating bevel (as per general purpose) or triple chip ground
as shown for clean, efficient cross-cutting of solid wood. Generally in the
high range of teeth per inch. Fig 9.19. Fig 9.18
Faced Panel Blade
A hollow faced tooth alternates with an inverted ‘V’ tooth to provide
a much cleaner cut in laminated chip boards than is normally possible
without the use of a pre-scoring blade. Ideal if your machine has no
scoring option. Fig 9.20.

Blade maintenance
It is essential that the blade is in good condition. Any build up of timber
resin near the teeth of the blade may cause the work piece to stall or
stick. These deposits should removed with white spirit. After cleaning it
is also advisable to coat the blade with silicone spray. Do not use any
product which contains oil on the blade as this will attract dirt. Never
try to clean a moving blade. The saw should be stopped, the blade
removed and the resin removed with a suitable scraper.

 9. Operation & Sawing Practice
Blade Hook
Fig 9.21
The angle of the blade tooth profile is referred to as the hook. To
identify the hook of a blade, a line can be held from the centre of the Neutral hook
blade to the tip of one of its teeth. If the blade profile follows the line, it
is a neutral hook blade, Fig 9.21. If the blade profile is as shown in Fig
9.22, with the top edge of the blade tip facing forward, it is a positive
hook. If the blade profile is as shown in Fig 9.23, with the top edge of
the blade tip further back than the lower part, it is a negative hook.

Neutral hook blades as shown in Fig 9.21 are designed for use in chop
saws, radial arm saws and mitre saws, where the cut will be made from
above the work piece. Neutral hook blades should not be used in table
saws.

Positive hook blades as shown in Fig 9.22 are suitable for use in table
saws for cutting soft and hard wood. They should not be used to cut
laminated material or plywood as the teeth will leave a poor finish to
the material. Fig 9.22
Positive hook
Negative hook blades as shown in Fig 9.23 are suitable for use in
table saws to cut laminated materials and plywood. This type of blade
is designed to minimise splintering of the material’s surface around
the cut. These blades are ineffective at cutting soft or hard woods and
should not be used for this purpose.
