Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work area
are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable protective
equipment
Hidden objects
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that the
cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long
grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work area thoroughly before
proceeding
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the
user's responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from the
possibility of projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches / adjusters
are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
• Do not attempt to resharpen blades that are not suitable for resharpening; these may
include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically containing
tungsten
• Blades that can be resharpened should be resharpened only according the blade
manufacturer's instructions. These may include a limited number of times the blade can be
resharpened
• Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced
immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use
• In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not suitable
for, blades should be replaced immediately
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the blade or
cutter
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until
they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is
explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a
common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment

Intended Use

Portable hand-held mains-operated power tool with a small circular saw blade that cuts slots
into wood to create joints suitable for inserting various sizes of wood biscuits.

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing
or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

WARNING: Always disconnect this tool from the power supply before attaching or removing
accessories, or making any adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the blade is securely fitted before first use. See 'Changing the saw blade'
Auxiliary Handle
• Fit the Auxiliary Handle (1) using the supplied Auxiliary Handle Bolts (22)
• Adjust the Auxiliary Handle (1) angle position by loosening the 2 Auxiliary Handle Bolts,
adjusting and re-tightening the bolts
Dust extraction
• This tool should be connected to a workshop dust extraction system or vacuum cleaner via
its Dust Port (15)
• If both are unavailable, the supplied dust bag needs to be fitted, by pushing it on to the Dust
Port
Note: If using the dust bag, remove and clean out on a regular basis. Ideally, empty the dust
bag when it is half full.
Adjusting the depth of cut
The tool features a Turret Stop (11) with 6 depth positions (0, 10, 20, S, D & Max) and supports
a wide range of biscuit dowels or plates. See Biscuit guide below.
It is recommended to calibrate the tool using the size of biscuit you will mainly be using. A
typical biscuit size is #10.
1. Select position '10' by rotating the Turret Stop (11) until '10' is indicated by the Depth
Indicator (10)
2. Push forward on the Auxiliary Handle (1) until the Depth Stop (13) contacts the Turret Stop
(Image B) and measure the length of the exposed blade protruding from the Blade Slot
(28). Ensure one Blade Tooth Tip (34) is at the maximum distance from the slot by rotating
the Saw Blade (32) so a Blade Tooth Tip is in the middle then measure from this tip to the
surface of the Blade Slot
3. The measurement should be 10mm for #10 as indicated in the chart below. If different
loosen the Depth Stop Locking Nut (14) and adjust the Depth Stop to reduce or extend its
length to the required 10mm blade depth
4. Once correctly set tighten the Depth Stop Locking Nut
WARNING: Failure to correctly adjust the cutting depth could cause damage to the workpiece.
Note: The other depth positions on the Turret Stop will now be correctly set with the most
accurate being the position used for calibration.
Note: Always make a trial cut on scrap material to confirm the settings.
