5. Tighten the nut sufficiently so that the guard rests on the

table top but will lift when the workpiece is pushed into

the blade.

Note.

The blade guard should return to its rest position after

the workpiece has been cut.

CAUTION.

The saw blade guard must be in position at all

times to prevent contact with the blade. It should lift up and

onto the workpiece when the workpiece is passed through

the saw.

Dust extraction

system or household vacuum

cleaner can be connected to

Adjusting the cutting depth

WARNING.

The height locking

knob must be loosened before

the blade height is adjusted, and

re-tightened once the desired

setting is reached.
1. Set the saw blade to the

required cutting depth by

turning the height adjustment

handle (Fig. W).

2. Turning the handle anti-clockwise increases the

cutting depth.

3. Turning the handle clockwise decreases the cutting depth.

Adjusting the blade angle

1. Loosen the bevel angle

knob and using the height

adjustment locking knob push

the blade assembly to the left

or right until the pointer points

to the required angle on the

bevel scale (Fig. X).

2. Retighten the bevel angle

knob once the required setting

is reached.

3. The blade angle pointer can be adjusted when checking the

accuracy of the blade angle. With the power disconnected,

place a set square against the saw blade. Adjust the blade

angle until the blade is parallel to the set square then move

the pointer to 0° on the blade angle scale.

Using the rip fence

1. Use the rip fence when

making longitudinal cuts.

2. The rip fence is fitted to the

table top on either side of the
