ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
BASIC SAW OPERATIONS:
RAISE THE BLADE (FIG. 40)
In order to raise or lower the blade, turn the blade elevation handwheel (1) to the
desired blade height and then tighten the lock knob (2) in order to maintain the
desired blade angle.
TILTING THE BLADE (FIG. 40)
• In order to tilt the saw blade for bevel cutting, loosen the lock knob (2) and turn
the blade tilt handwheel (3).
• Tighten the lock knob (2) in order to secure the blade at the proper angle.
ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. 41)
The ON/OFF switch has a removable key. With the key removed from the switch,
the risk for unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is minimized.
• To turn the saw ON, insert the key (2) into the slot in the switch (1). Move the
switch upward to the ON position.
• To turn the saw OFF, move the switch downward.
• To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the end (or yellow part) of the toggle
switch (2) and pull it out.
• The switch will not operate with the switch key removed.
• If the switch key is removed while the saw is running, it can be turned OFF, but
it cannot be restarted without inserting the switch key (2).
OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. 41)
This saw has a reset overload relay button (3) that will restart the motor after it shuts
off due to oveloading or low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, turn the
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Wait approximately five minutes for the motor
to cool off, and then push the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position.
WARNING: In order to avoid injury, the on/off switch should be in the off position
and the plug should be removed from the power source while the motor is cooling
down. This will prevent accidental startup when the reset button is pushed.
Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or by a dull blade. Inspect the saw
for proper setup before using it again.
