5. Operating Instructions
The Stayer SCE 1650 WMC is designed for precise cuts in various materials. Always ensure the workpiece is stable and secured before cutting.
5.1. Power and Speed Control
- The saw operates at 1600W power.
- Use the electronic variator to adjust the no-load speed between 2500 and 4000 RPM (Giri/min) depending on the material being cut. Lower speeds are generally suitable for harder materials or larger cuts, while higher speeds are for softer materials or finer finishes.
5.2. Making Cuts
- Straight Cuts (0°): Position the workpiece against the fence. Ensure the swiveling table is locked at 0°. Maximum cutting capacity: 50 x 100 mm.
- Miter Cuts (Angled Horizontal Cuts): Adjust the swiveling table to the desired angle (e.g., 22.5°, 45°). The table has self-locking positions for common angles. Maximum cutting capacity at 45°: 32 x 100 mm.
- Bevel Cuts (Angled Vertical Cuts): Tilt the saw head up to 45° to the left or right. Maximum cutting capacity at 45° inclined: 150 x 20 mm or 90 x 50 mm.
- Compound Cuts (Miter and Bevel): Combine miter and bevel adjustments for complex angles. Maximum cutting capacity at 45° miter and 45° bevel: 75 x 20 mm.
- General Cutting Capacity:
- 90° (Straight): 155 x 25 mm / 65 x 77 mm
- 45° Right/Left (Miter): 103 x 30 mm / 55 x 77 mm
- 45° Inclined (Bevel): 150 x 20 mm / 90 x 50 mm
- 45° Compound (Miter & Bevel): 75 x 20 mm
- Operation: Lower the blade slowly into the workpiece, allowing the blade to reach full speed before contact. Apply steady, even pressure. Once the cut is complete, allow the blade to stop rotating before raising it from the workpiece.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Stayer SCE 1650 WMC Miter Saw. Always unplug the tool before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean dust and debris from the saw, especially around the motor vents, blade guard, and cutting table. Use compressed air for hard-to-reach areas.
- Blade Inspection: Inspect the blade before each use for sharpness, cracks, or missing teeth. Replace dull or damaged blades immediately.
- Brush Inspection: The motor uses brushes. Periodically inspect the carbon brushes for wear and replace them when they are worn down to their limit. Refer to a qualified service technician if unsure.
- Lubrication: Apply light machine oil to moving parts and pivot points as recommended in a more detailed service manual (if available) or as needed to ensure smooth operation.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners.
7. Troubleshooting
