Blades
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury,
always use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but
brittle material. Foreign objects in the workpiece
such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or
break. Only operate saw when proper saw blade
guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper
rotation before using, and always use clean,
sharp blade.
If you need assistance regarding blades, please contact
your local STANLEY dealer.
Depth of cut adjustment (Fig E-G)
1. Raise the depth adjustment lever (p) to loosen.
2. To obtain the correct depth of cut, align the notch (q) on
the depth adjustment strap with the appropriate mark on
the upper blade guard (l).
3. Tighten the depth adjustment lever
4. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide
tipped saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that
about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of
the wood to be cut.
5. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is
shown in Figure G. Lay a piece of the material you plan
to cut along the side of the blade, and observe how
much tooth projects beyond the material.
Bevel angle adjustment (Fig H)
The bevel angle adjustment mechanism (g) can be adjusted
between 0° and 45°.
1. Turn the bevel adjustment knob (f) to loosen.
2. Tilt the foot plate to the desired angle mark on the pivot
bracket (u).
3. Turn the bevel adjustment knob to retighten.
Kerf indicator (Fig I)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator (t) for vertical
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the
saw along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut.
The indicator lines up with the left (inner) side of the saw
blade, which makes the slot or "kerf" cut by the moving
blade fall to the right of the indicator. The notches on the
base plate indicate 0˚ and 45˚.
Mounting and adjusting the parallel fence (Fig J)
The parallel fence (w) is used for cutting parallel to the edge
of the workpiece.
Mounting (Fig J-K)
1. Insert parallel fence adjustment knob (x) into the hole
(aa) as shown in Figure J, keeping the knob loose to
allow the parallel fence to pass.
2. Insert the parallel fence (w) into the base plate(h) as
shown in Figure J.
3. Tighten the parallel fence adjustment knob (x).
Adjusting
1. Slacken the fence adjustment knob (x) and set the
parallel fence (w) to the desired width. The adjustment
can be read on the parallel fence scale.
12
2. Tighten the fence adjustment knob (x).
Prior to operation
•
Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly.
The saw blade guard must be in closed position.
•
Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of the
arrow on the blade.
•
Do not use excessively worn saw blades.
USE
Instructions for use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
turn unit off and disconnect machine
from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or
changing set-ups or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Proper hand position (Fig K)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as
shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
(b), with the other hand on the auxiliary handle (e).
Switching on and off (FIG. A)
To run the tool, press the ON/OFF-switch (a).
To stop the tool, release the ON/OFF-switch. Always switch
OFF the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.
NOTICE: Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when the saw
blade touches the workpiece or other materials.
Workpiece support (Fig L-P)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, support the work properly
and hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control.
Figures M and O show proper sawing position. Figures N
and P show an unsafe condition. Hands should be kept
away from cutting area, and power cord is positioned clear
of the cutting area so that it will not get caught or hung up
on the work.
To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR
the cut, (Fig M and O). DON'T support board or panel away
from the cut (Fig N and P).
When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the
cutting area and prevent it from becoming hung up on the
work piece.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS! Place the work with its "good" side—the
one on which appearance is most important—down. The
saw cuts upward, so any splintering will be on the work face
that is up when you saw it.
