The saw is capable of ripping and cross cutting hardwoods,
softwoods and man made boards quickly, accurately
and safely.
By loosening the bevel adjustment knob (6), the body and
the blade of the saw can be tilted to any angle up to 45° for
making angle cuts. Please note that the maximum depth of
cut is reduced when cutting at an angle.
A fixed upper blade guard (13) encloses the upper part of
the blade. As the saw advances through the workpiece, the
pivoting lower blade guard (11) is pushed back by the edge
of the wood to expose only that part of the blade which is
needed. When the blade clears the work, the spring loaded
lower blade guard snaps back to completely enclose the
blade.
Adjusting the cutting depth
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before making any
adjustments.
1. Ensure that the saw is facing away from you.
2. Loosen the depth locking
lever (15).
3. Hold the base plate flat against
the edge of the workpiece and
lift the body of the saw until the
blade is at the right depth. Use
the depth of cut indicator (16) to
determine the cutting depth.
4. Tighten the depth locking lever (15).
Note. Always use the correct blade depth setting. The
correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not be more
than (6.35mm) 1/4” below the material being cut.
Allowing more depth will increase the chance of kickback
and result in a rough cut.
Adjusting the bevel angle
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before making
any adjustments.
1. The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle between
0° and 45°.
2. Loosen the bevel adjustment
knob (6) located at the front of
the base plate.
3. Tilt the body of the saw until
the required angle is reached
using the bevel scale (7) as a
guide.
4. Tighten the bevel adjustment
knob (6) to secure the base plate.
Note. Always make a trial cut in a scrap piece of material
along a guideline to determine how much you should offset
the blade from the guideline to make an accurate cut.
Switching on and off
1. Connect the plug to the power supply.
2. Depress the lock-off button (2)
and squeeze the trigger
switch (1).
3. The blade will take
approximately 2 seconds
to reach full speed.
Note. When you release the
trigger, the machine turns off
and the lock-off button re-engages to prevent accidental
operation.
CAUTION. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill
before setting the saw down.
