CALIBRATION OF CUT
Each degree of error in your miter or bevel cut setting is magnified when
translated across the width of the cut you are making. Precision cuts, as
any veteran woodworker will tell you, will be more successful if a piece of
scrap wood is used to make a test cut first. This saw is equipped with quick
stops for easy angle adjustment, but they are designed to aid in rough
carpentry.
To increase the accuracy of the saw’s miter settings, you can make some
fine adjustments.
NOTE:
When making cuts, ensure that all hold-down clamps are tight
and angle adjustment settings are locked in. This will reduce errors
produced by slippage, both in the material and in the saw settings.
ADJUSTMENT OF MITER ANGLE
1. The fence is secured with four 6 mm hex socket head bolts.
2. Loosen these bolts, and the fence will slide. It can be rotated a small
distance in either direction.
3.
With a square, calibrate the fence at 90 degrees to the line of cut at the
0 degree quick stop and re-tighten the bolts.
Once the fence is square to the blade, the red miter degree indicator can
be adjusted to indicate the exact angle in the following way:
1. Loosen the philips head screw and re-set the indicator
to read exactly 0 degrees.
2. Re-tighten the screw.
ADJUSTMENT OF BEVEL ANGLE
1. At the rear of the saw, on the right side of where the arm pivots is a hex
socket head depth setting screw that limits the 45° bevel.
2. Loosen the locking nut and adjust the screw with a 5 mm hex key to
adjust the stop point to be correct at 45 degrees of bevel.
3.
Check the settings with a square against the blade.
4. Re-tighten the locking nut once the angles are correct.
Once the bevel is correct, the bevel degree indicator at the back can be
adjusted to indicate the exact angle in the following way:
1. Loosen the cross head screw and re-set the indicator to read exactly 0
degrees when the vertical stop is contacted.
2. Re-tighten the screw.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Keep your tool in good condition by adopting a regular maintenance
program.
WARNING:
Prior to inspection or saw maintenance, turn off power
switch and disconnect plug from power source.
●
Before each use, examine the general condition of your tool.
●
Inspect blades, switches, tool cord and extension cord for damage.
●
Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts,
improper mounting, broken parts, and any other condition that may
affect its’ safe operation.
●
If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and
have the problem corrected before further use.
●
Do not use a damaged tool.
●
Never disassemble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool’s
electrical system.
●
Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. This will help prevent possible
electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
