DUST BAG
The dust bag (15) fits in the dust extraction port (28). For
efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more
than half full. This allows better airflow through the bag.
(Fig. 4)
SIDE EXTENSION ARMS AND STABILISER
The side extension arms (38) are used for supporting
wide workpieces to prevent them from bowing and sub-
sequent pinching on the blade during cutting.
Loosen the lock screws (39) with hex key (21), insert the
arms (38) and retighten the lock screws (39). (Fig. 5a, 5b)
WARNING: When the saw is not fixed to a
bench, always fit the stabiliser (20) into the holes at
the rear of the base of the saw. The stabiliser helps
prevent the saw tipping backwards when the slide ac-
tion is used
SETTING THE TABLE SQUARE WITH THE BLADE
Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the
power point. (Fig. 6)
Push the saw arm (5) down to its lowest position and
engage the release knob (6) to hold the saw arm in the
transport position. (Fig. 7)
Loosen the mitre lock (26). (Fig. 8)
Rotate the table (22) until the pointer is positioned at 0º.
(Fig. 9)
Tighten the mitre lock (26). (Fig. 10)
Loosen the bevel lock (16) and set the saw arm (5) at 0º
bevel (the blade at 90º to the mitre table). Tighten the
bevel lock (16). (Fig. 11)
Place a set square against the table (22) and the flat part
of the blade. (Fig. 12)
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of
the saw blade, not the teeth.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
The edge of the set square and the saw blade should
be parallel.
If the saw blade angles away from the set square, adjust
as follows:
▪ Use a wrench (not supplied) to loosen the lock nut se-
curing the 0° bevel adjustment screw (36).
▪ Loosen the bevel lock (16).
▪ Adjust the 0° bevel adjustment screw (36) with hex
key (21) to bring the saw blade into alignment with the
square.
▪ Loosen the screws holding the pointer of the bevel
scale (18) and adjust the position of the pointer so that
it accurately indicates zero on the scale. Retighten the
screws.
▪ Retighten the bevel lock (16) and the lock nut secur-
ing the 0° bevel adjustment screw (36). (Fig. 13a, 13b,
13c)
NOTE: The above procedure can also be used to check
the angle of the saw blade to the table at either 45º bevel
angle to the left or to the right. The 45° bevel adjustment
screws (34 and 35) are on opposite sides of the saw

arm. You need a suitable sized wrench (not supplied) for
the lock nuts. Hex key (21) is suitable for the set screws.
(Fig. 14a, 14b)
SETTING THE FENCE SQUARE WITH THE TABLE
Using hex key (21), loosen the set screw securing the top
piece of the right hand fence and remove this top section.
Using hex key (21), loosen the four screws securing the
fence (19) to the base. (Fig. 15a, 15b, 15c)
Place a square against the fence (19) and alongside the
blade.
Adjust the fence (19) until it is square with the blade.
Tighten the screws securing
(Fig. 16)
Replace the top section of the right hand fence.
Loosen the screw holding the pointer of the mi-
tre scale (23) and adjust it so that it accurately
indicates the zero position on the mitre scale.
(Fig. 17)
Retighten the screw securing the mitre scale pointer.
ADJUSTING THE LASER LINES
The lower laser is factory set to emit a laser line along the
right-hand side of the blade. The upper laser is factory
set to emit a laser line to the left-hand side of the blade.
This upper laser can be adjusted by the operator to suit
blades of different kerf widths.
To adjust the position of the upper laser, proceed as fol-
lows:
Remove the laser cover (3) and switch on the laser lights
with the on/off switch (2). (Fig. 18)
Using a cross head screwdriver (not supplied), adjust the
position of the line from the upper laser by turning the
laser pitch control (4). (Fig. 19)
Adjust until the left-hand laser line is aligned with the left-
hand side of the blade.
Switch off the laser lights and replace the laser cover (3).
TRENCH DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
In its normal position, the trenching stop (32) permits the
saw blade to cut right through a workpiece. When the
saw arm is lifted, the trenching stop can be adjusted so
that the trenching depth adjustment screw (31) contacts
the stop as the saw arm is lowered. (Fig. 20)
This restricts the cut to a "trench" in the workpiece. The
depth of the trench can be adjusted with the trenching
depth adjustment screw (31) and locked in position with
the trenching depth lock nut (33). (Fig. 21)
USING THE LASER LINE GENERATOR
WARNINGS:
Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other
than the workpiece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and en-
sure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person for
longer than 0.25 s.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work-
piece without reflective surfaces.
Wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright
shiny reflective surfaces are not suitable for laser use as
the fence (19).
