UNLATCHING AND RAISING THE CUTTING HEAD
(Fig. 21)
WARNING:
To avoid serious injury, NEVER perform the
unlocking or locking procedure unless the saw is OFF and the
blade stopped.
To Release the Cutting Head from the Locked Down position:
• Gently press down on the Cutting Handle.
• Pull out the head latching pin and allow the Cutting Head to
rise to its upper position. (Step 1 & 2)
• The Cutting Head will automatically rise to the upper position
once it is released from the locked down position. (Step 3)
• It will automatically lock in the upper position.
If Release is Difficult:
• Gently rock the Cutting Head up and down.
• At the same time twist the Head Latching Pin clockwise and
pull outwards.
Note: We recommend that when the machine is not in use the
Cutting Head is locked in its down position with the latching pin
fully engaged in its socket.
SWITCHING ON & OFF (USA MODEL ONLY)
To start the machine, first push the lock-off button
for the On/Off switch (1) and then press the On/Off switch
(2) and keep it pressed. To switch off the machine,
release the On/Off switch (2). (Fig. 22)
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch (2)
cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
the entire operation. (Fig. 22)
CHOP CUTTING
This type of cut is used mainly for cutting small or narrow
section material. The Cutting Head is gently pushed down to cut
through the workpiece.
The Sliding Carriage should be locked in its rearmost
position. (Fig. 23)
• Slide the Cutting Head to the rear as far as it will go.
