OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the bevel lock
before making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in the saw arm moving during the cut
and cause serious personal injury.
Bevel adjuster
The bevel adjuster (18) needs to be pulled out
before the bevel angle can be adjusted.
To return the saw arm to the vertical (0° bevel)
position move the saw arm to the left and
push in the 0° bevel adjuster.
Return the saw blade to the vertical position,
it will automatically stop at the 0° bevel
position. Tighten the bevel lock.
Clamp assembly
The clamp assembly (10) can be mounted to
the fence, either side of the saw blade, to suit
the task at hand.
Use the clamp assembly lock (11) at the back
of the fence to secure the clamp assembly in
position.
Spindle lock button
The spindle lock button (26) prevents the blade
in the saw from rotating. Depress and hold the
spindle lock button while installing, changing,
or removing the blade.
Rotating lower blade guard
The rotating lower blade guard (12) provides
protection from both sides of the blade.
It retracts over the upper blade guard (9) as
the saw is lowered into the workpiece.
Dust bag
The dust bag (15) fits over the dust extraction
port (27). For more efficient operation, empty
the dust bag when it is no more than half full.
This allows better air flow through the bag.
Attaching the side bars
GB
The side support bars (31) help to support the
material when working with long workpieces.
There are two location holes (32) for a support
bar on either side of the table. Loosen the lock
screws (33) with the 6mm hex key.
Ensure the side bars are fully inserted before
using them to support the workpiece.
26
The side support bar locking screws (33) must
be tightened to secure the support bars in
position.
Operation
Turning on and off
1. To turn the saw on depress and hold the
on/off trigger switch (24).
2. To turn the saw off release the on/off trigger
switch (24).
Turning on the REDEYE
laser
®
line generator
The REDEYE
®
laser line generator emits
2 intense narrow beams of pure red light to
guide you as you cut. It improves operator
cutting vision, enables faster set-up, increases
accuracy and improves safety. To turn on the
laser lines press the laser light on/off switch
(2). To turn off the laser press the laser light
on/off switch (2) one more time.
Setting the table square with
the blade
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is
removed from the power point.
2. 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.
3. Loosen the miter lock (25).
4. Rotate the table (21) until the pointer is
positioned at 0º.
5. Tighten the miter lock (25).
6. Loosen the bevel lock (16) and set the saw
arm (5) at 0º bevel (the blade at 90º to the
miter table). Tighten the bevel lock (16).
7. Place a set square against the table (21) and
the flat part of the blade.
NOTE. Make sure that the square contacts the
flat part of the saw blade, not the teeth.
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the
blade-to-table alignment
at several points.
9. The edge of the set square and the saw
blade should be parallel.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10. If the saw blade angles away from the set
square, adjust as follows.
11. Use a 13mm wrench or adjustable wrench
to loosen the lock nut securing the 0°
bevel adjustment screw (30). Also, loosen
the bevel lock (16).
12. Adjust the 0° bevel adjustment screw (30)
with the 6mm hex key to bring the saw
blade into alignment with the square.
13. Loosen the 2 Phillips head screws holding
the pointer of the bevel scale (17) and
adjust the position of the pointer so that
it accurately indicates zero on the scale.
Retighten the screw.
14. Retighten the bevel lock (16) and the lock
nut securing the 0° bevel adjustment
screw (30).
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 (28 & 29) are on opposite sides of the
saw arm. You will require a 13mm wrench or
adjustable wrench (not supplied) for the lock
nut and the 6mm hex key for the set screws.
Setting the fence square with
the table
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is
removed from the power point.
2. 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.
3. Loosen the miter lock (25).
4. Rotate the table (21) until the pointer is
positioned at 0º.
5. Tighten the miter lock (25).
6. Using the 6mm hex key loosen the hex
screw securing the top piece of the right
hand side fence and remove this
top section.
7. Using the 6mm hex key provided, loosen
the four screws securing the fence (19) to
the base.
8. Place a square against the fence (19) and
alongside the blade.
9. Adjust the fence (19) until it is square with
the blade.
10. Tighten the screws securing the fence (19).
11. Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the
pointer of the miter scale (22) and adjust
it so that it accurately indicates the zero
position on the miter scale.
12. Retighten the screw securing the miter
scale pointer.
13. Replace the top section of the fence and
secure the hex screw using the 6mm hex
key.
Changing a blade
DANGER! Never try to use a blade larger than
the stated capacity of the saw. It might come
into contact with the blade guards. Never use
a blade that is too thick to allow the outer
blade washer to engage with the flats on the
spindle. It will prevent the blade screw from
properly securing the blade on the spindle.
Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings that
may be required suit the spindle and
the blade fitted.
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is
removed from the power point.
2. Push down on the operating handle (7)
and pull the release knob (6) to disengage
the saw arm (5). The release knob (6) can
be turned so that it is held in the retracted
position.
3. Raise the saw arm (5) to its highest position.
4. Using a Phillips head screwdriver loosen
and remove the screw that secures the
guard retraction arm (13) to the rotating
blade guard.
5. Using a Phillips head screwdriver loosen
and remove the screw that secures the
blade bolt cover (14).
6. Pull the rotating blade guard (12) down then
swing it up together with the blade bolt cover
(14). When the rotating blade guard (12) is
positioned over the upper fixed blade guard
(9) it is possible to access the blade bolt.
