QEP STK# 21600 JAMB & UNDERCUT
SAW INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY AND BLADE CHANGING
1. Make sure the saw is unplugged.
2. Remove the blade guard by unscrewing the three small flat
head screws.
3. Insert the blade retaining nut into the saw blade arbor hole,
so the blade retainer is securely seated in the blade.
* Make sure the blade teeth are facing the direction
of rotation (counterclockwise viewed from the bottom).
4. Screw the blade retainer nut, with the saw blade
centered, onto the saw arbor shaft. When the nut is
finger tight, check that the blade is centered and fully seated.
5. Depress the black arbor lock knob on the top of the saw
motor head to engage and lock the arbor.
6. Using the spanner wrench (with two extended pins), turn the retainer nut clockwise until
the retainer nut is tight on the shaft.
7. Replace the safety guard with the three flat head screws, securing them tightly.
8. Attach the plastic handle, using the two 3/8" diameter bolts. Put the lock washers between the
outside of the handle and under the bolt head. Tighten both bolts with the open end wrench
provided. Make sure the handle is secure before using the QEP STK# 21600 Jamb &
Undercut Saw.
OPERATING THE QEP STK# 21600 JAMB & UNDERCUT SAW
1. Make sure you have read all safety instructions before operating.
2. Make sure the saw is unplugged. Make sure the safety guard and handle are
attached securely, and that you are wearing protective goggles.
3. Check for nails, screws, masonry or other hard material in the area you want to
cut. Remove all such material and debris from the cutting area.
4. Determine the amount of material you need to remove from the bottom of the
jamb and draw a scribe line on the door jamb.
5. Loosen the three wing nuts on the adjustment skirt.
a. Set the base of the adjustment skirt on the floor and adjust the saw so the TOP of the
blade is even with the scribe mark on the jamb. You can also measure the distance
from the floor to your scribe line with a ruler, then set the QEP STK# 21600 Jamb &
Undercut Saw height against the ruler. Remember to measure to the top of the
saw blade.
b. Tighten the wing nuts enough to hold the adjustment skirt firmly in the saw body.
c. Check the inside of the adjustment skirt to make sure the saw body is parallel to the
index lines inside the skirt. This step is important to prevent "binding" of the blade
against the material you are cutting.
d. If the adjustment skirt is parallel, tighten the wing nuts securely.
e. Double check your saw height adjustment against the scribe mark on your work.
6. Plug the electrical cord into a 110V outlet or
extension cord. Place the saw flat on the floor.
7. Grasp the saw firmly and push the "on-off"
switch forward.
8. Move the safety guard counterclockwise with
the knob on top of the safety guard.
9. Slowly push the saw
into the wood and
move the saw parallel
to the floor to cut
the jamb.
10. Limit the depth of
your cut to the
thickness of the base
material to minimize
the chance of hitting
nails, drywall, plaster, etc.
