13. Depress the spindle
lock button (26) and
replace the flat washer
and blade bolt.
14. Use the 6mm hex key
to tighten the blade bolt
securely (tighten in an
anti-clockwise direction).
15. Lower the blade guard,
hold the rotating lower
blade guard (12) and
blade bolt cover (14) in
position and tighten the
fixing screw (Fig. j).
16. Replace the guard
retraction arm and secure
onto the rotating blade
guard (Fig. k).
17. Check that the blade
guard operates correctly
and covers the blade as
the saw arm is lowered.
18. Connect the saw to the
power supply and run the
blade to make certain that
it is operating correctly.
Cross-cutting
A crosscut is made by cutting
across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90º crosscut is
made with the mitre table set
at 0º (Fig. l). Mitre crosscuts
are made with the table set at
some angle other than zero.
1. Pull on the release knob (6)
and lift the saw arm (5) to
its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (25).
3. Rotate the mitre table (21) until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle.
4. Retighten the mitre lock (25).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre lock before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving
during the cut and cause serious personal injury.
5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence (19). If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
side is placed against the fence, the board could break
and jam the blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite
end of the timber with the side support bars (32), a roller
stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
7. Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
8. It is possible to remove
the clamp assembly (10)
by loosening the clamp
assembly lock (11) and
moving it to the other side
of the table. Make sure the
clamp assembly lock is
tight before using the
clamp (Fig. m).
9. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
10. Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and squeeze
the switch trigger (24). Allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
11. Press the release latch
(31) (Fig. n) and slowly
lower the blade into and
through the workpiece.
12. Release the switch trigger
(24) and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade
