ON/OFF SWITCH
See Figure 20, page 24.
Your saw is equipped with an on/off switch that has a built-in
locking feature. This feature is intended to prevent unauthor-
ized and possible hazardous use by children and others.
TO TURN THE SAW ON:
With the switch key inserted into the switch, lift the switch
button to turn ON.
NOTE - If using the pumpless flow system: When on/off
switch is turned on, immediately turn on the flow adjust-
ment valve.
TO TURN THE SAW OFF:
Press the switch button down to turn OFF.
NOTE - If using the pumpless flow system: When on/off
switch is turned off, immediately turn off the flow adjust-
ment valve.
TO LOCK THE SAW:
With the saw turned OFF, pull the switch key from the
switch and store in a safe, secure location.
WARNING:
In the event of a power failure or when the tool is not in
use, turn the switch OFF and remove the switch key.
This action will prevent the tool from accidentally starting
when power returns.
WARNING:
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact
with the cutting wheel before operating the switch to
start the tool. Failure to heed this warning may cause the
workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator and
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging
tool into the power source.
USING THE WATER SUPPLy VALVE
See Figure 15, page 23.
The water supply valve allows you to adjust the water flow-
ing onto the wheel.
USING THE FLOW ADJUSTMENT VALVE
See Figure 21, page 24.
When using the pumpless flow system, this valve must be
turned on and off immediately following turning the saw on
or off.
OPERATION
When using the pump, the flow adjustment valve can be
used to adjust the flow of water.
USING THE PUMP
See Figure 22, page 24.
The pump recirculates w ater from the tray to the cutting
wheel. Install the pump and plug it into the receptacle on
the motor head.
Make sure that the water supply valve on the tray is in
the off position.
Fill the water tray with clean water. Do not fill past the
Max Fill line on the tray.
Locate the "Max/Min" water flow selector on the pump.
For best performance, set the flow to "Max" and use the
flow adjustment valve to control the flow of water over
the wheel.
The pump turns on when the motor is turned on. Let the
cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel
to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.
USING THE RIP GUIDE
See Figure 18, page 23.
The rip guide can be used from both the left and right side
of the cutting wheel.
Place the rip guide in the desired position.
Push the lever down to lock in place.
To adjust angles:
Loosen the lock knob.
Set to the desired angle by moving the lower part of the
rip guide left or right.
Tighten the knob securely before turning on the saw.
DANGER:
Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light
source.
USING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 23, page 24.
The laser guide will generate a colored line on the work
surface. The laser guide is turned on or off with the switch
next to the battery compartment and may be used when the
saw is not turned on.
