ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH

WARNING: Before operating the ON/OFF switch make
sure that the blade guard is correctly installed and
operating properly.
The machine is equipped with a NVR (no volt release) switch.
To start the machine lift the cover plate to reveal the on and off
buttons (Fig. 26). Push the 'ON' button to start the machine
and release the cover plate, allowing it to rest back against
the buttons. Do not fully close the cover plate as this will stop
the machine. To stop the machine, firmly press the large red
button on the cover plate, allowing the cover plate to click
shut and engage the 'OFF' button behind (Fig. 26).
WARNING: Never start the machine until all safety checks and
procedures have been carried out.

RAISING/LOWERING THE BLADE

WARNING: Only make adjustments to the machine when the
machine is switched OFF and the blade is stationary.
Note: This machine is equipped with a dual function hand-
wheel. In its 'normal' (outer) position the hand-wheel is used
to raise or lower the blade. When the hand-wheel is pushed in
against its bias spring it engages with the curved toothed rack
incorporated in the machines main body. This allows the hand-
wheel to be used to adjust the tilt/bevel angle of the blade.
To raise or lower the blade:
• Ensure that the hand-wheel is in its 'normal' position.
• Turn counter clockwise to lower the blade (Fig. 27).
• Turn clockwise to raise the blade.

TILTING THE BLADE

The blade can be tilted up to 45˚ to the left.
• Loosen the tilt locking mechanism by operating (opening)
the tilt locking lever (Fig. 28).
• Push the hand-wheel in against its bias spring until it
engages with the tilt rack.
• Use the hand-wheel to set the required angle. An angle
gauge to aid setting can be found behind the hand-wheel.
• Operate (close) the tilt locking lever when the required
angle is achieved.
• Allow the hand-wheel to return to its 'normal' position.
