D24000 Set Up - just a couple of questions...

[merlecollins]

Hi fellow D24000 owners

Obviously the instruction manual is entirely pictorial (which sometimes can be read differently from one user to the next!) so just a couple of queries that I could do with getting right:

1. I understand the sections H1, H2, I1 and I2 - which basically demonstrate how to set the blade square - but am not too sure of sections J through to O :nonod: The way I read it is that you run your blade through part 58 which then indicates your cutting line? But not quite sure what the adjustments to the rails and parts 59 and 60 are shown for...:nonod: Is it to set the gauging ruler accurately?

2. In Diagram O, it shows the clip which is fitted to the water pipe just before the pump. Whats that clip for? it looks to me like it is to simply cut off the water supply to the pump - but why would you need to do that?:yikes:

I'm pretty confident that these will seem like ridiculous questions to you guys that have had these machines for ages, but I just want to get it right first time

Also, the rubber to one of the sections on my cutting bed looks a bit dodgy and not as smooth and hard wearing as the others sections of the bed Does anyone else have this with theirs? Not sure if these photos shows it up very well...

No problems with the rubber at all ???
Running the wheel through the "puck" does give you an indication to your cutting line.
The clip is to control the flow of water, I would prefer a tap myself and keep meaning to change it.
Not sure what you mean about the rest of your questions as I dont have the hand book to hand at the moment.

is the rubber part 58 you refer to to make a kerf referance ? this is just to allow for blade buzz giving a wider cut than its nominal width

as siramic not got my handbook to hand

I think it is Spanish mate

Once you've set your blade perfectly square and made any adjustments that may be necessary, you run your saw though this 'puck' to give you a cutting reference at the base of the cutting bed

The saw should cut perfectly square straight from the box..

Mine does..
