ASSEMBLY
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs.
Be sure the trigger switch
is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Unpacking (fig. B)
• Remove the saw from the packaging material carefully.
• Release the rail lock knob (18), and push the saw head back to lock it in
the rear position.
• Lock the table (19) into highest position.
• Press down the operating handle (2) and pull out the lock down pin (17),
as shown.
• Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to its
full height.
Bench mounting (fig. C)
• Holes (36) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes
of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both. Bolts with a
diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length is suggested. Always mount
your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the portability, the tool
can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or thicker plywood which can
then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and
reclamped.
• When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the
mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood.
The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the
saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will
interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
• To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not
warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a
thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is firm on the
mounting surface.
Storing the fastener tools (fig. D)
The following tools are supplied with the machine:
1 T30 star wrench (37)
1 T40 star wrench (38)
• Take care to store the tools each time after they have been used in
assembly or adjustment.
Mounting the upper blade guard (fig. E)
The upper blade guard (21) is designed to be quickly and easily attached to
the riving knife (20) once the machine has been set up for saw bench mode.
• Loosen the bolt (39) and leave nut (40) in the hexagonal pocket.
• Holding the guard vertically, align the slot in the rear of the guard with the
riving knife.
• Lower the guard over the riving knife (20), making sure the shaft of the
bolt enters the recess.
• Turn the guard into horizontal position, which will lock the guard to the
riving knife.
• Insert bolt (39) into the hole and tighten with special torx wrench.
Mounting the saw blade (fig. D & F1 - F5)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs.

is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can
be dangerous.
WARNING: After mounting or replacing the blade, always
check that the blade is fully covered by the guard.
WARNING! Be aware the saw blade shall be replaced in the
described way only. Only use saw blades as specified under
Technical Data ; Cat.no.: DT4350 is suggested.
