Fastening The Saw To A Surface; Inspection And Adjustment Of Angles In Relation To The Blade - PEUGEOT Energysaw-305DB Manuel D'utilisation

1. FASTENING THE SAW TO A SURFACE

Before use, the saw must be fastened securely to a level surface.
1. Four holes are located at the ends of the saw base to fasten the saw to a workbench or other supporting surface.
2. If you use lateral extension wings, fit them before securing the saw to the supporting surface.
3. If the saw is often moved, mount it on a plywood base (at least 20 mm thick), which can then be easily clamped to any
maintaining surface.
IMPORTANT ! Make sure that the plywood base is not corrugated, as a base that is not level would have an adverse
effect on cutting.
Check the following adjustments to be sure of achieving an exact cut.

2. INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF ANGLES IN RELATION TO THE BLADE

The different angle positions for mitre cuts have been adjusted in the factory. However, for precision work, check whether the
angles are correct before you use your mitre saw.
ADJUSTING THE GUIDE FENCE FOR A 90° MITRE CUT
Make sure that the blade is perpendicular to the guide fence.
1. Lock down the saw head, tightening the locking knob to put the saw in the transport position (see Fig.1).
2. Loosen the mitre handle and set it 0°. Tighten the mitre handle once more.
3. Loosen the bevel adjustment handle on the rear of the machine and set the bevel to 0°. Then tighten the bevel adjustment
handle once more.
4. Set one end of a square (not supplied) against the guide fence and the other against the saw blade. Make sure that the
square is correctly positioned along the blade without touching its teeth. When the square is correctly positioned, its two
ends must be fully in contact with the saw blade and the guide fence.
5. If the saw blade is not in contact with the square, adjust the guide fence as follows:
• Remove the Allen key screws and loosen the two
locking knobs that hold the guide fence extensions.
Slide out and remove the extensions.
• Loosen the four Allen key screws (A) Fig.9 on the
two sides of the guide fence.
• Place the square against the saw blade. Move the
guide until it is fully in contact with the end of the
square.
• Fasten the four Allen key screws (A) and put back
the guide fence extensions.
ADJUSTING THE SAW TABLE IN RELATION TO THE BLADE
Make sure that the saw blade is perpendicular to the saw table.
1. Lock down the saw head, tightening the locking knob to put the saw in the transport position (see Fig.1).
2. Loosen the mitre handle and set it 0°. Tighten the mitre handle once more.
3. Loosen the bevel adjustment handle on the rear of the machine and set the bevel to 0°. Then tighten the bevel adjustment
handle once more.
4. Set one end of a square (not supplied) on the table and the other against the flat part of the saw blade. Make sure that
the square is in contact with the blade but does not touch its teeth. When the square is correctly positioned, the two ends of
the square must be fully in contact with the saw blade and the table of the mitre saw.
5. If the saw blade does not fully touch the end of the square:
• Unfasten the locking nuts (A) Fig.10 (located on either side of the bevel adjustment handle) to release the two
bolts (B).
• Loosen the bevel adjustment handle (C) and pull the adjustment button (D) towards you.
• Place the square against the saw table.
