Always use (250mm) saw blades with a rated speed in excess of 4,500 r.p.m. The machine is supplied
with a 250mm GP (40 tooth) Saw blade, with a 30mm bore for cutting TIMBER. For precision trimming
e.g. fine cut finish of bead, frame, dado etc., an 80 tooth saw blade is recommended (similar to APTC
Part No.’s 300141 or 300118
) and for cutting non-ferrous metals, an 80 tooth negative rake saw
blade such as APTC
Part No. 300191
. It is also recommended that you use a lubricant when cutting
aluminium, similar to APTC.
Part No. 910105.
DO NOT CUT FERROUS METAL
Because of the geometry of the raising of the lower guard, the incidence of the saw at the intersection
of the fence and the table, the height of the saw washers above the table and the obstruction of the
saw motor body during a right mitre cut, please study the available capacities that are shown below,
and the accompanying notations. The table is drafted with the first measurement being the dimension
against the fence.
Although the saw is capable, with the correct saw blades fitted, of cutting plastic, aluminium, P.V.C.,
etc, the cutting table deals exclusively with timber.
Please note that the supplied clamp will only clamp timber up to 100mm wide. We do not recommend
that any sawing operations are carried out without stuff being securely clamped to the machine. May
we recommend that a clamp similar to Klemmsia cam clamp APTC
Part No. 510432
is used.

1. Locate the screw holding the front of the saw guard bracket, and loosen it enough to allow the saw
guard bracket to pivot on the rear screw. (See fig Q) Swing the saw guard bracket and the guard fully
out of the way, to enable access to the saw arbor bolt. (See fig R) Engage the saw arbor lock and fit a
13mm spanner onto the bolt, keeping the lock depressed, loosen the saw arbor bolt by turning
clockwise, (left hand thread), (See figs S & Sa) once the bolt is free, unscrew, and remove the bolt, the
washer and the outer flange. Keeping the guard out of the way, tilt the blade off the inner flange and
‘wriggle’ it out of the saw. Watch out for sharp edges/teeth etc. Note. It sometimes helps to ‘wheel’ the
blade out of the guarding.
