Selection Tips
The selection of such equipment for professional or household use should be based on the following recommendations of specialists:
- the primary task is to clearly define the purpose for which the device will be used in the future; for rare and simple work, it would be more correct to opt for units with a standard list of possibilities; for heavy loads, you will need a powerful and professional saw that can cope with serious loads;
- during the selection, it is worth paying attention to the issue of safety, for these purposes the device is usually equipped with a protective cover that covers the saw blade during operation;
- an important point are the dimensions and weight of the saw - with a heavy tool, as a rule, it will be much more difficult to work, especially with minimal experience in operating the equipment, so the issue of ergonomics will be relevant for both professionals and home craftsmen;
- you should pay attention to the diameter of the saw blade, which should not be less than 20 mm;
- an important characteristic of the instrument is the parameters of its reproducible cut on the material; it is depending on the depth and width of the cut that the equipment is selected, and these indicators can be adjusted by the dimensions of the disc used in the operation of the device.
Operation and maintenance
The entire model range of Zubr miter saws after purchase will need to be adjusted, so this issue concerns the initial and further maintenance of the tool. Similar work concerns the adjustment of the accuracy of the cutting angle. For these purposes, all additions or extensions that will complicate maintenance are removed from the equipment.
The instrument must be securely attached to the base before use.
When using the device for making a bevel cut, the master should rotate the table, the angle range in both directions should be 45 degrees. As a rule, to make a cut at a different angle, the equipment has special clamps on the body, so the tincture can be set using the appropriate scale.
In "Zubr" miter saw models, the disc is able to tilt according to the shape of the cutting blade opening.
If there is one slot in the longitudinal stop, then the tool will cut only vertically; at the cut right and left corners, the head can be deflected in both directions.
To fix a non-standard cutting angle, set the required value, while twisting the adjustment knob while pressing the setting button, so that there is no general failure of values and a break in fixation.
When using miter saws, all personal safety precautions should be observed. For this, the operator must be wearing a mask, gloves and headphones. It is forbidden to use discs with deformed teeth. Such components can get stuck in the work material, as a result of which the equipment and the work piece itself may become unusable.
To avoid equipment failure, the heating of the saw's electric drive should be monitored; at very high temperatures, it is necessary to take breaks from work.
