The machine is fitted with an NVR (No Voltage Release) switch. This type of switch is
designed so that if the machine is disconnected from the mains whilst running and then
reconnected, the motor will not automatically restart.
Cutting Depth
Adjustments to the cutting depth should be made only when the saw is not running.
Turn the round hand wheel on the front, to set the blade to the required depth. Turn
anticlockwise to lower the blade, turn clockwise to raise the blade. The blade height should
always be set so that only the carbide tips of the blade (approx. 5mm) projects above the
wood.
Angle of Cut
Adjustments to the angle of cut should be made only when the saw is not running.
To tilt the blade for making bevel cuts, undo the locking lever, rotate the hand wheel to the
required angle using the scale provided for guidance. Lock the angle by tightening the lever.
Making a cut
Ensure there is enough space around the table for the work piece before starting the cut.
Position your feet in a stable and balanced stance.
When feeding the timber, place your hands on the section of timber being kept. Never hold
the waste part of the timber.
Never force timber through the saw, always let it cut at its own speed.
When cutting narrow pieces - use the push stick provided.
Ripping Cut
The rip fence is used to make longitudinal (with the grain) cuts. Set the fence to the required
dimension using the scale provided.
To avoid kickback, the far end of the fence extrusion should be set correctly.
The fence extrusion should be set so that the end is level with the centre of the saw blade.
This allows the timber space to expand into, after the cut has been made.
When cutting wider pieces the fence extrusion can be moved further towards the back of the
blade, in a line projecting at roughly at 45 degrees out from the centre of the blade.
Cross Cutting
This saw has 2 options for making cross cuts: Using the mitre fence or using the sliding
beam.
Mitre Fence
The mitre fence is most suitable for cutting small pieces. It fits into the T-shaped channel in
the sliding beam and is then locked into place. To set 90 degrees or any other angle, undo
the locking handle and rotate the quadrant to the desired angle. Lock the angle setting with
the plastic handle. The fence extrusion can then be adjusted so that the end is close to the
blade, giving better support to the work piece. When setting the fence, take care to ensure
the fence will not contact the blade.
Sliding Beam
The sliding beam is most suitable when working with
large flat panels.
When working with large panels, pull the sliding beam
all the way forward and engage the lock to hold it
there. Set the flip over stop to the desired width of cut.
Load the panel onto the saw table.
Press the start button, release the beam lock and
push the panel through the saw blade.
