• Check that the saw bench is equipped with

appropriate blade guarding and ensure that

they are properly adjusted and functioning

correctly before operating.

• Ensure the saw is mounted securely

to the bench. Refer to the

manufacturers instruction manual

for mounting instructions.

• Run saw up to ensure it is running smoothly

before attempting any cutting.

• Check that your saw bench is fitted with an

anti-kickback device.

• Make sure a suitable safety on/off switch is

fitted to the saw bench. The saw switch may

then be locked on using a spring clamp, cable

tie or similar and then plugged into the safety

socket on the

saw bench. This clamp MUST be taken

off when the saw is removed from the

saw bench.

• Using all safety equipment make a test cut in

an off cut piece of material making sure all

guarding is set up correctly before continuing

with your bench sawing.

SAW BENCH MOUNTING

Only use 185mm (71⁄4”) blades, with a kerf

between 2.2 & 3.5mm, designed for circular saws

with a no-load speed rating of at least 5000rpm.

Never fit high speed steel blades or abrasive

discs. Fitting of other purpose or different sized

blades will void the warranty.
• Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check

the blade is flat, sharp and free of cracks or

defects.

1. Ensure the saw is disconnected from power.
2. Place the supplied pin wrench (20) inside the

two holes located on the

outer blade flange. Insert

hex key (21) into the hole

in the blade bolt.

Whilst tightly holding

pin wrench turn hex key

in the direction of the

blades rotation (anti-

clockwise). When the

blade bolt is free from

the arbor hole remove

the bolt and blade flange.

3. Hold the retracting blade guard (14) fully back,

carefully slide the blade through the baseplate

and position it onto the inner washer on

the shaft, as the blade teeth are very sharp

protective gloves are required. The graphics

should face out and the arrow on the blade

should point in the same direction as the arrow

in the guard.

4. Fit the blade taking care

to locate it correctly onto

the inner flange. Refit

the outer blade flange

than lightly screw the

blade bolt through the

outer blade flange.

Double check the blade

seats flush between the inner and outer flanges

than tighten firmly with pin wrench and hex

key.
