2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
2.1. Introduction
The SM65.V2 complies with requirements of the Machinery Safety Directive 98/37/EC and is fully CE approved. The machine has a heavy duty
cast base and a swivel arm with a fully guarded blade for the cutting of light metals. A magnetic no-load voltage switch prevents the
motor from re-starting in the event of a power failure or a blade jam. An oil-bath gear box and sealed-for-life drive bearings give fast and
smooth operation. Fully adjustable precision blade guides provide accuracy and long blade life. Supplied with anti-vibration feet and workshop
stand.
3.1. Assembly
Note: Numbers in brackets refer to Fig 1 and Parts Diagram Items.
3.1.1. Assemble the floor stand as described below using the nuts
and bolts provided (refer to Fig 1).
3.1.2. Make one end frame by assembling two legs (1) to short
upper cross member (4) using four bolts (8), four washers (7),
four split washers (6) and four nuts (5). Attach lower short
cross member (3) to the inside of the legs using two bolts (8).
3.1.3. Create a second end frame using the same set of components.
3.1.4. Join the two end frames together using two long upper cross
members (9) using two bolts (8) at each end of each cross
member. The ends of the long cross members should pass under
the ends of the short cross members (4).
3.1.5. Attach the two lower long cross members (2) to the inside of
the frame using one bolt at the end of each.
3.1.6. The anti-vibration mountings (14) can either be fitted to the base
of the saw or to the stand. For bench mounting and when the
stand is to be secured to the floor, fit the mountings to the saw
base. Where the stand is to be portable, fit the mountings to
the bottom of the legs.
3.1.7. Place the saw onto the stand and retain it at either end with
bolt (10), washer (11) and nut (12).
3.1.8. Remove transit chain (15), retain for future use.
3.1.9. Slide fence (104) into vice base (103) and tighten set screw in
front face of vice to retain.
3.1.10. When the saw arm is in the down position the cutting edge of the blade should be just below the main surface of the vice in order for
the blade to cut all the way through the workpiece. If this is not the case, loosen the lock nut (37) and adjust the stop bolt (38) so that
the cutting edge of the blade is 2 to 3mm below the vice surface. Re-tighten locknut (37).
3.1.11. Adjust switch cut-off screw (17) to ensure that ‘Off’ switch is actuated when, or just before, the body frame contacts the abutment
screw (38). Tighten nut (5).
3.2. Blade selection
The chart at the right show the recommended setup for various
metals and cut lengths. Blades are available from your Sealey
dealer in four tooth pitches: 6, 10, 14 and 24 tpi (see parts list).
