CUTTING ADVICE
WARNING:
The operator should wear
all relevant PPE (Personal Protection
Equipment) necessary for the job at hand.
This could include safety glasses, dust masks,
safety shoes etc.
The operator should always be aware of the
position and routing of the power cable.
• Do not force the machine.
• Allow the speed of the saw blade do the
work. cutting performance will not be
improved by applying excessive pressure to
the machine, and blade life will be reduced.
• When using the parallel edge guide, ensure
that it is parallel with the blade. The blade
and/or motor could become damaged if the
machine is used with an incorrectly adjusted
parallel edge guide.
• To set the guide, loosen the two retaining
screws, and adjust the guide to the required
position. Tighten the locking screws.
• Place front edge of sole plate squarely on the
workpiece before starting the motor.
• When starting a cut, sight the cutting line
with the line of cut guide, taking care to
introduce the blade to the material slowly,
so as not to damage its teeth.
• Use both hands to move the saw forwards
through the workpiece.
• Apply smooth, constant pressure to move
the saw forwards through the workpiece.
When a cut has been completed release the
On/OFF trigger switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete halt. Do not apply lateral
pressure to the blade disc in an attempt to slow
it down more quickly.
WARNING:
If the motor should stop
or stall whilst a cut is being attempted
release the trigger switch immediately and
disconnect the machine from the power supply.
remove the machine from the workpiece before
investigating the cause and attempting to restart
the motor.
Note:
This saw is fitted with an overload
protection device. This is designed to prevent
overloading and consequent damage to the
motor. If this feature ‘trips’, the motor stops and
will not operate.
Allow the machine to cool down and then press
the ‘reset switch’ at the base of the main handle.
