▶ Using the Head Assembly Lock
Pin
To avoid possible injury,
disconnect plug from
power
source
before
performing
any
assembly, adjustments or repairs.
▼ HEAD ASSEMBLY LOCK PIN
The head assembly lock pin (item 43 - page
12) is located on the right side of the pivot
post (item 34 -page 12). It is used to hold the
saw’s head assembly in the DOWN position.
This position prevents the head from
bouncing up and down during transportation.
This also makes the saw more compact for
lifting and storage. This position is also
required for some calibrating procedures.
▼ TO ENGAGE THE HEAD ASSEMBLY LOCK
PIN
1.
Check that the depth stop plate (item 33 -
page 12) is disengaged, or pressed in to the
left position.
2.
Grasp the saw’s main handle (item 3 - page
11) and press down on the head assembly.
3. While pressing the saw head down, push in
on the head assembly lock pin. Release the
head assembly. The head will be locked in
the DOWN position (see Figure 11).
▼ TO DISENGAGE THE HEAD ASSEMBLY
LOCK PIN
1.
Grasp the main handle and press down on
the head assembly.
2. While pressing the head down, pull out the
head assembly lock pin. Release the lock
pin, but maintain your grip on the main
handle. Slowly allow the spring-loaded saw
head to come up to the top of its travel and
then release the handle.

▶ Using the Glide Movement
Controller
▼ TO ADjUST THE GLIDE MOVEMENT
CONTROLLER
The glide movement controller is attached to
the upper joint of the glide mechanism; it is
designed to control the smoothness of the
saw’s glide action. When assembled at the
factory, the controller is not adjusted;
therefore, the movement is very smooth. To
adjust the glide mechanism’s smoothness,
slightly tighten or loosen the two screws at
the top by using the 6/4mm hex key or a 4mm
hex key (see Figure 12).
