Parallel Edge Guide
A parallel guide (for help when rip cutting) can be fitted to the
sole plate of the machine. The guide arm should be inserted
into the rectangular slots found at the front of the sole plate,
and slid under the locking thumb screw.
(Fig. 4)
Note:
The parallel edge guide can be fitted to either side of
the sole plate and should only be fitted and adjusted with the
machine disconnected from the power supply.
• Adjust the parallel edge guide so that it is at the required
distance from the blade and tighten the thumb screw. Check
that the parallel edge guide is parallel to the saw blade.
Adjustment of the Cutting Depth
• Loosen the Depth Adjustment Locking Screw
(Fig. 5)
to adjust to the required cutting depth.
• A scale can be found on the depth bracket and an index mark
is incorporated into the machines upper guard to aid setting.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workpiece.
Note:
Always check to see if there are any obstructions
below the work surface that could influence the setting
of the cutting depth.
• Tighten the Depth Adjustment Screw securely to lock in the
required position.
Adjustment of the Cutting Angle
• Loosen the Bevel Locking Screw found at the front
of the saw
(Fig. 6).
• Tilt the blade to the required angle
(Fig. 7).
• Tighten the Bevel Locking Screw securely.
Note:
An angle scale (0
0
– 45
0
) is incorporated
into the Bevel Locking Quadrant to aid setting.
(<10.2) OPERATING ADVICE
Carry out routine safety checks each time you use the machine.
Check that all safety guards are operating correctly, and that all
adjustment handles/screws are tightened securely.
Check that the blade is secure and installed correctly. Also check
that it is the correct blade for the material being cut.
Check the integrity of the power cord.
