Unpacking
6
Your saw is packed in the box partially assembled.
This is to ensure that the components are inserted
in the correct positions. e.g. The blade is fitted, the
securing bolt for the tilt mechanism is inserted in the
tilt quadrant with the washer and the locking but-
terfly nut threaded on to the bolt, etc.
Please make careful note of the positions of the vari-
ous components if you have cause to disassemble,
whilst putting the machine together.
Take all the easily removable items out of the box,
tip the box up so that the base of the saw is to the
ground, remove all the polystyrene packaging from
around the saw (open both sides of the box?) then
“corner walk” the saw out of the box.
If this is still awkward, split the top of the box, fold the
box material flat on the floor, and “wriggle” the saw
off the cardboard. (The best method of moving the
saw is with a ‘hug’ lift through the neck of the saw,
holding the saw back against your body and lifting
by straightening your legs).
Stand Assembly
Locate and identify the 4 leg brackets (B), the short
struts (C) and the long struts (D) for the stand, and
M8 x 18mm coach bolts, washers and nuts(E & G).
Using the M8 coach bolts, nuts and washers bolt
together two legs (B) and one short strut (C) at the
top. ‘finger tighten’ at this time, see fig 1.
When the two frames have been assembled,
select one, turn it upside down on a flat surface and
loosely bolt one the long strut (D) in place, see fig
2. Attach the other frame and bolt to the remaining
strut (D) for the other side.
When all the components are assembled, turn the
stand upright. Using the flat surface as a reference,
tighten up all the nuts, turn the stand on its side and
insert one of the four thread rubber feet (A) into one
of the four pre-drilled holes to the ends of the leg
brackets (B). Tighten in place with a M8 washer and
nut (G). Repeat for the remaining feet. Upright the
frame and stand it on the floor,see fig 3.
