BEVEL CUTTING
1. Loosen the bevel lock lever and push the hand wheel until the blade is
at the required angle of cut.
2. Lock the hand wheel at this required position.
WARNING! To avoid injury, when cross cutting or ripping ALWAYS use
the correct guide fence, NEVER try these operations free hand. Always
set the blade depth approximately 1/8" (3.5mm) above the work piece
thickness. This not only provides the safest method of cutting but also
gives the maximum number of blade teeth in the work piece at any one
time, reducing stress on the motor.
RIP CUTTING
(Cutting with the grain or length-wise)
This action must be done using the rip fence.
1. Before turning on the machine, adjust the rip fence to the required
cutting width, lock the fence into position.
2. Turn on the machine.
3. When maximum speed is reached, feed the timber into the blade
holding it firmly against the fence.
4. Always use the push stick provided, to finish the cut. NEVER reach over
the table or try finishing the cut freehand. The push stick is supplied to
ensure your safety when used correctly.
MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Keep your tool in good condition by adopting a regular maintenance
program.
WARNING! Prior to inspection or saw maintenance, turn off power
switch and disconnect plug from power source.
● Before use, examine the general condition of your tool.
● Inspect blades, switches, tool cord and extension cord for damage.
● Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts,
improper mounting, broken parts, and any other condition that may
affect its' safe operation.
● If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and
have the problem corrected before further use.
● Do not use a damaged tool.
● Never disassemble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool's
electrical system.
● Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. This will help prevent possible
electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling. Use a soft brush to remove
any dust particles. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst
cleaning.
● Regularly wipe any saw dust from the fence. A buildup of dust on the
fence can prevent accurate cutting.
● If the blade has become dirty, use a blade cleaner (not included) to
clean it. Dirty blades will bind more easily, and will more often overheat
and burn the wood as it cuts. Overheated blades dull more easily.
● If the blade has become dull, replace it. Dull blades will cause
increased tear-out and ragged edges on the cuts.
● Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
● Keep the tool housing and handle clean and free of oil and grease
using mild soap and a damp (not wet) cloth.
● Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean your tool since certain
cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated
parts. Some of these harmful solvents include: gasoline, turpentine,
lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia,
and household detergents containing ammonia.
