The Axminster Trade PS315 Panel Saw has been designed for the trade

workshop or keen home furniture maker. Upgraded over the previous model

with a high torque 2.2kW output mtor, a deeper section cast iron table, all

welded chassis and a cast iron rip fence holder. Constructed in cast iron with

welded heavy gauge steel and ﬁtted with a 1,600mm alloy extrusion sliding

table, it is robust and stable for everyday use. The good sized, deep section

cast iron main table is ﬁtted with a cast iron extension table giving a

combined surface of 825 x 800mm, plus a further steel plate extension giving

a total working surface of 1,265 x 800mm. A heavy gauge cast iron rip fence

holder and deep section alloy fence rail is included. The sliding table is smooth

running, fully adjustable and gives a travel of 1,300mm through the blade.

A cross-cut support table, with a telescopic support arm, can be positioned

anywhere on the sliding table and has a telescopic fence 1,200-2,200mm

long, enough for full size boards. This can easliy be removed without tools for

storage if required. A powerful 2.2kW output 1ph high torque motor drives

both the main blade and a scoring blade. The size of the main blade can be

a choice of 254, 305 or 315mm, without removing the scoring blade. The

scoring blade is easy to adjust through the table top and can be retracted

below the surface when not required. Smooth acting blade controls, efﬁcient

dust extraction and a micro adjustable rip fence contribute to easy use.

Included as standard are a 315mm Axcaliber main blade, scoring blade, a rear

feed-off table, small mitre fence (of a clever design for use on the sliding table

with a work clamp), an edge shoe and table support legs. N.B. 16A supply

required.

General Instructions for 230V Machines

The following suggestions will enable you to observe

good working practices, keep yourself and fellow

workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment

in good working order.

This machine is supplied with a moulded 16 Amp. Plug

and 3 core power cable. Before using the tool inspect

the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are

damaged. If any damage is visible, have the tool

inspected/repaired by a suitably qualiﬁed person. If it is

necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an

‘unbreakable’ type that will resist damage on site. Only

use a 16 Amp plug, and make sure the cable clamp is

tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads

are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them,

and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply

the current that is required for your machine.

If the machine gets wet; dry it off as soon as possible

with a cloth. Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools in damp

locations and do not trail extension cables across wet

areas. Keep the tools clean, do not use any solvents or

cleaners, as these may cause damage to any plastic parts

or to the electrical components.

Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this

includes personnel as well as material.

Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed

in work areas.

It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until

work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug

the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always

disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the

cable. Once you are ready to commence work, remove

any tools used in the setting operations (if any) and

place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine.

Carry out a ﬁnal check e.g. check the cutting tool, drill bit

etc., are securely tightened in the machine, check you

have the correct speed and function set, check that the

power cable will not ‘snag’ etc.

Make sure you are comfortable before you start work,

WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

balanced, not reachinge etc. If the work you are carrying

out is liable to generate ﬂying grit, dust or chips, wear the

appropriate safety clothinge, goggles, gloves, masks etc. If

the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear

ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style,

wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband,

will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught

up in the rotating parts of the machine, likewise,

consideration should be given to the removal of rings

and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a ‘snag’ hazard.

Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear,

etc. If you are allowing another person to use the

machine, ensure that they are suitably qualiﬁed to use it.

Do not use the machine if you are tired, your attention is

wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A

deep cut, a lost ﬁngertip or worse is not worth it!

Check that cutters, drills etc., are the correct type and

size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this

will maintain their operating performance and lessen the

loading on the machine. Above all, OBSERVE…. make

sure you know what is happening around you, and USE

YOUR COMMON SENSE.

Make sure the saw blade is the correct type for the job in

hand.

Do not force the saw, if the saw begins to ‘stall’ you are

‘forcing the cut’ or over working the saw. Ensure that

the saw blade is clean and sharp. Resin build up on

the blades will increase the friction of the saw passing

through the timber, and cause over heating of the blade,

blunt teeth will work harder tearing the ﬁbre of the

timber as opposed to shearing it, also with subsequent

overheating. Both faults unnecessarily load the machine

beyond normal usage, and shorten its longevity.

Do not use blades that are damaged in any way.

Do not remove the blade guard. The design of the riving

knife on the machine will not allow for slotting or ‘blind’

grooving, so there is no reason to remove the guard.

There is adequate clearance under the guard for the

capacity of the machine.

Do not use any blades that cut a smaller kerf than the

riving knife thickness. Make sure the riving knife is

correctly adjusted to the blade and is securely fastened.

If the table insert becomes damaged or broken, and will

not support the timber ‘up close’ to the blade, replace it.

Speciﬁc Safety Precautions

Continues Over....

Speciﬁc Safety Precautions

Do not start the saw with the workpiece touchinge the

blade.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY NEVER

OPERATE THE TABLE SAW WITHOUT

THE RIVING KNIFE IN PLACE!

Do not commence sawing until the blade has run up to

full speed. After switchinge off, never try to slow the saw

down more quickly by applying side pressure (with a

piece of wood?) to the blade. Apply the old joiner’s adage

of never getting hands within one handbreadth of the

blade. Leave the machine disconnected from the mains

supply until you are about to commence work.

Always disconnect the machine if you are leaving it

unattended.

Never leave the vicinity of the machine unless the blade

has come to a complete stop.

Do not attempt to carry out any maintenance, corrective

work, setting up etc., unless the machine is disconnected

from the mains supply. If any tools have been used

during setting up procedures, make sure they are

removed from the machine and stowed safely away.

Do not attempt to carry out cross cutting operations

‘freehand’, always use the mitre fence for small material

and the sliding carriage for larger workpieces. Unless you

are an experienced machine operator, do not attempt to

‘rip’ freehand, always use the guiding facility of the rip

fence. It is perfectly acceptable to support, guide, and

feed the timber with your hands whilst ripping stuff of

some length, however, as you approach the blade ensure

that the push stick is to hand, and that you use it.

Remember the emphasis of the ‘push’ should be between

the blade and the fence and close to the fence. Use your

free hand to support and guide the material on the

offside of the saw blade and at least 100mm away from

it. If the timber does not extend to at least 100mm to the

offside of the saw blade, the material possibly does not

need guiding or supporting.

Check (especially on site), that there are no foreign

objects e.g. old nails, screws, small stones etc embedded

in the material you are about to cut. If necessary take a

wire brush to the timber before working.
