4. Nastavení

Before operating the saw tooth setter, ensure your saw blade is clean and free of rust or debris. Secure the saw blade in a vise or suitable clamping device, ensuring the teeth are accessible and stable.

Adjusting the Tooth Set:

1. Identify the teeth per inch (TPI) of your saw blade. This tool supports settings for 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 TPI.
2. Locate the knurled adjustment screw and the setting dial on the saw tooth setter.
3. Otočte knurled adjustment screw until the desired TPI number on the setting dial aligns with the indicator mark. This adjusts the depth to which the tooth will be bent.
4. For a finer set, choose a higher TPI number. For a coarser set, choose a lower TPI number.

5. Návod k obsluze

Once the saw tooth setter is adjusted to the correct TPI, you can begin setting the saw teeth. The goal is to bend alternate teeth slightly to the left and right, creating a kerf wider than the blade thickness, which prevents the blade from binding in the cut.

1. Position the saw tooth setter over the first tooth to be set. Ensure the tooth is centered on the anvil and the tool is perpendicular to the saw blade.
2. Gently squeeze the handles of the setter. You will feel the tooth being bent. Apply consistent pressure for each tooth.
3. Release the handles and move the setter to the next tooth that needs to be set in the same direction. Typically, every other tooth is set in one direction, then the saw is flipped, and the remaining teeth are set in the opposite direction.
4. Work systematically along the entire length of the saw blade, setting all teeth that point in one direction.
5. Once one side is complete, carefully flip the saw blade in the vise or clamping zařízení.
6. Repeat the process for the remaining teeth, bending them in the opposite direction.
7. After setting, visually inspect the teeth to ensure a consistent set. The amount of set should be minimal, just enough to clear the blade. Excessive set can lead to a rough cut and wasted material.

6. Údržba

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Spear & Jackson Saw Tooth Setter.

• Čištění: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove any sawdust or debris.
• Prevence rzi: The powder-coated head and nickel-plated anvil offer rust resistance, but for prolonged storage or in humid environments, apply a light coat of rust-inhibiting oil to all metal parts.
• Mazání: Occasionally, a small drop of light machine oil can be applied to the pivot points and the threads of the adjustment screw to ensure smooth operation.
• Skladování: Store the tool in a dry, protected environment to prevent corrosion and damage.

7. Řešení problémů

If you encounter issues while using your saw tooth setter, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Inconsistent Tooth Set:
  • Ensure the saw blade is securely clamped and not moving during setting.
  • Verify that the saw tooth setter is positioned consistently on each tooth.
  • Apply consistent pressure when squeezing the handles.
• Difficulty Adjusting the Setting Screw:
  • Check for any debris or sawdust obstructing the threads. Clean if necessary.
  • Apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads of the adjustment screw.
• Saw Blade Binding After Setting:
  • The set might be insufficient. Re-evaluate the TPI setting and ensure all teeth are set.
  • Ensure alternate teeth are bent in opposite directions.
