Cutting
WARNING: Never attempt to use this tool by
resting it upside down on a work surface and
bringing the material to the tool. Always securely
clamp the workpiece and bring the tool to the workpiece,
securely holding the tool with two hands as shown in Figure
P. Place the wider portion of the saw foot plate on that part
of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the
section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples,
Figure P illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a
board. Always clamp work. Don't try to hold short pieces by
hand! Remember to support cantilevered and overhanging
material. Use caution when sawing material from below.
Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts
material to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material
to be cut or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback.
Push the saw forward at a speed which allows the blade
to cut without laboring. Hardness and toughness can vary
even in the same piece of material, and knotty or damp
sections can put a heavy load on the saw. When this
happens, push the saw more slowly, but hard enough to
keep working without much decrease in speed. Forcing the
saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy, kickback, and over-
heating of the motor. Should your cut begin to go off the line,
don't try to force it back on. Release the switch and allow
blade to come to a complete stop. Then you can withdraw
the saw, sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside the
wrong one. In any event, withdraw the saw if you must shift
the cut. Forcing a correction inside the cut can stall the saw
and lead to kickback.
IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND BACK
THE SAW UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS
STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND CLEAR OF THE CUTTING
EDGE BEFORE RESTARTING.
As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to
stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw,
the spring-tensioned telescoping guard will automatically
close under the blade. Remember the blade is exposed
until this occurs.
Never reach under the work for any reason. When you have
to retract the telescoping guard manually (as is necessary
for starting pocket cuts) always use the retracting lever.
NOTE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that
small cutoff pieces don't hang up on inside of lower guard.
Ripping
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more
difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a STANLEY
parallel fence (w) is recommended.
Pocket cutting (Fig O)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when
pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise
up off the work surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other flat
surface.
1. Adjust the saw foot plate so the blade cuts at desired
depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the foot plate on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade guard to
an upward position. Lower rear of foot plate until blade
teeth almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will
keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary
handle (e), as shown in Figure P. Position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure the cutting surface before starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its foot
plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw
along the cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely
before withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
MAINTENANCE
Your STANLEY power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
•
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a
soft brush or dry cloth.
•
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.
Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.This
machine is not user-serviceable. If problems occur
contact an authorised repair agent.
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.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main
housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen
collecting in and around the air vents. Wear
approved eye protection and approved dust
mask when performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts
of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never
let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
To maintain products SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repair, carbon brush inspection and replacement, any
other maintenance or adjustment should be performed
by STANLEY Service Centers, always using Stanley
replacement parts.
