ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING: Before operating the ON/OFF switch make
sure that the blade guard is correctly installed and
operating properly.

RAISING/LOWERING THE BLADE

WARNING: Only make adjustments to the machine when the
machine is switched OFF and the blade is stationary.
Note: This machine is equipped with a dual function hand-
wheel. In its 'normal' (outer) position the hand-wheel is used
to raise or lower the blade. When the hand-wheel is pushed in
against its bias spring it engages with the curved toothed rack
incorporated in the machines main body. This allows the hand-
wheel to be used to adjust the tilt/bevel angle of the blade.
To raise or lower the blade:
• Ensure that the hand-wheel is in its 'normal' position.
• Turn counter clockwise to lower the blade (Fig. 27).
• Turn clockwise to raise the blade.

TILTING THE BLADE

The blade can be tilted up to 45˚ to the left.
• Loosen the tilt locking mechanism by operating (opening)
the tilt locking lever (Fig. 28).
• Push the hand-wheel in against its bias spring until it
engages with the tilt rack.
• Use the hand-wheel to set the required angle. An angle
gauge to aid setting can be found behind the hand-wheel.
• Operate (close) the tilt locking lever when the required
angle is achieved.
• Allow the hand-wheel to return to its 'normal' position.
