Re: K975 blade cover MicroSwitch


 

I had the K915 and that cover would only open until it hit the sliding table. I often wished it would open wider. Maybe your slider goes back further.?

Hi Imran

Ok..I spoke with Greg Bryson at Felder and he checked into the blade guard and looked to see if there was any sort of "Stop" for it to prevent it from tilting down too far.. he said there is nothing on the parts diagram nor on the saw. He said the blade guard is suppose to tip down onto the lower slider carriage like mine shows.. He does not know what David has or why his stopped as seen in his picture.. So I guess the blade cover is suppose to rest against the lower carriage after all

Good morning Imran..

I don't believe my saw will start when the cover is open. But I will check again just to make sure..
I too, want to find out if my cover is opening too far as well..From the looks of David's saw, it seems like both of our covers are opening too far..I'll shoot a text to Greg and ask him what's missing and DM you with what I find out

Randy,

Make sure that your saw does not run with cover open. In my case it does. You want to be aware if that safety feature is not there to protect you.

Hi David..

Hmm..I wonder if mine has an issue as well if it's not suppose to hit the lower carriage.. I'm going to look at the parts diagram and see if there's something missing on the both of Imran and my saw..
I do see that small bracket below the scoring blade arbor and notice that is not on my saw as well

I'll also shoot an e mail to Greg Bryson and ask him if he can look into it further


Thanks?

Imran, here is a photo of the blade cover in the open position on my K975. ? I don¡¯t remember what keeps it from opening so far that it bangs into the lower carriage of the sliding table like Randy¡¯s photo shows, but there was some kind of mechanical system that held the cover in the open position, and it was unrelated to the hinges:

As I recall, the restraint was at the scoring saw end of the cover, but I could be misremembering. ? I do remember having to fuss around with the hinge positions to get the cover to seat properly and to consistently actuate the safety microswitch.

Thanks Randy. So nothing else preventing it from opening further than hinges?

Your blade cover opens a lot further than mine..mine hits the bottom, lower side of my sliding table carriage and rests against it..I dont think its suppose to open any further and definitely not flop down inside the cabinet of the saw .

I'm not 100% sure but I think you might be able to loosen the nuts on the hinges and raise the cover up a little more..

Got my saw hooked up today. In checking safety items I noted that the blade cover microswitch is functional but the cover drops beyond horizontal and the control lever completely disengages from microswitch.

Can someone tell me if the blade cover should only travel from vertical (close) to horizontal (open)? If yes, what keeps it from opening any further (beyond horizontal)?

This is how far cover on my saw opens


When open this far the lever disengaged from microswitch


So currently, the microswitch disables saw when lever is in contact with microswitch (about open to horizontal). Then enabled the saw when switch falls in the notch in closed position.
