Sealey SM5 - Manual (Page 2)

3. ASSEMBLY AND SETUP
2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
The SM5.V3 has a heavy duty cast base and arm with a fully guarded blade for horizontal and vertical cutting of light metals. A magnetic no-load voltage
switch prevents the motor from automatically re-starting after a power failure or a blade jam. An oil-bath gear box and sealed-for-life drive bearings give
fast and smooth operation. The saw base features an integral mitreing vice with a 0-to-450 scale for angle cutting. Fully adjustable precision blade guides
provide accuracy and long blade life.
3.1. ASSEMBLY. Note: Numbers in brackets refer to Parts Diagram

Drive Belt, Bag of screws, washers, nuts, split pins & hex. key.
3.1.2. Fit the floor stands, (4) - right and (13) - left, to the saw base (37)
using screws (11), washers (51) and nuts(12).
3.1.3. Fit the shelf (170) between the stands using screws (171), washers
(173) and nuts (172).
3.1.4. Attach the axle and wheels assembly (5) to the right hand floor stand
using screws (1), washers (3) and nuts (2) provided.
3.1.5. Fit handle (14) to the left hand floor stand and retain with split pins (6).
3.1.6. Attach switch box (A) to lower left hand edge of base using screws &
washers supplied. ( See fig.A )
3.1.7. Fit hand wheel (28) to vice shaft (32) and tighten grub screw (20) onto
flat on shaft.
3.1.8. Attach pulley cover (110) to body frame with screws (1) & washers (3).
3.2. The microswitch assembly should be fitted after the pulley cover/box
is in place but before the pulleys and belt are attached. Refer to figure B.
3.2.1. Detach microswitch & its cover from bracket by undoing the two nuts
and bolts.
3.2.2. ( See fig.B-1.) Feed microswitch cable through hole in base of pulley box.
3.2.3. ( See fig.B-2.) Push the two connectors onto the terminals on the
microswitch. The wires can be connected either way round.
3.2.4. ( See fig.B-3.) Slide the microswitch cover over the top of the
microswitch and connectors and line up the holes in the cover with the
holes in the microswitch.
3.2.5. ( See fig.B-4.) Bolt the microswitch and cover to the bracket using the
nuts, bolts and washers supplied ensuring that the assembly is on the
left hand side of the bracket as shown in fig.B.
3.2.6. Take the black cable clamp/grommet supplied and slide it over the
cable, close to the underside of the pulley cover and close the
grommet. Adjust the position of the cable within the grommet if
neccessary and then push the grommet firmly into the hole. See fig.B-1.
3.3. Attach motor pulley (86) to motor shaft and retain with grub screw (20).

screw (20).
3.3.2. Fit the drive belt (112) and refer to paragraph 3.3.
3.3.3. Adjust motor position to obtain correct belt tension by tightening tension
screw (98), then close pulley cover.
3.3.4. Slide stock stop rod (21) into base and tighten set screw (20) to retain.
3.3.5. Adjust abutment screw (53) so that, with body frame down, blade cutting
edge is below surface of base but body frame is clear of base. Tighten
lock nut (122).
3.3.6. Adjust switch cut-off tip (76) to ensure that ‘Off’ switch is actuated when,
or just before,
body frame contacts abutment screw (53). Tighten scew.
3.4. Adjusting blade speed. Adjust the blade speed to suit the metal to be
cut. The recommended pulley selections are shown in the chart below/
right.
