Operating Instructions
1. RELEASING THE SAW HEAD (SEE FIG E1, E2)
When boxed or during storage, transportation, the saw head is locked in the down position.
To release the head ready for operation, apply downward pressure and pull out the lock
pin (a), then turn 90°left or right to lock it in place. The head will be raised gently to upper
position.
2. STARTING THE SAW (SEE FIG F)
Depress the trigger switch (23). Allow the motor to reach full speed. When the blade has reached
maximum speed, unlock the blade guard by operating the safety release lever (2) using your thumb.
3. CHOP CUT (SEE FIG G1, G2)
Chop cut is used mainly for narrow pieces, i.e. the lock screw of slide rod is tightened and
the head assembly is lowered to cut through the workpiece.
1) Connect the machine to power outlet, ensure that the mains cable is clear of the blade
and base plate.
2) Position the material to be cut on the rotary table, ensure it is firmly clamped so that it
will not move during cutting.
3) Slide the cutting head to rear position as far as it will go and lock the slide rod by rotating
the slide rod securing knob clockwise.
Ensure that the rotary table handle and bevel lock lever (16) are tightened before cutting.
4) Press the trigger switch and allow the saw blade to run up the speed.
5) Still holding in the trigger, using your thumb simply press the safety release lever. It will
then be possible to push the saw head down by the handle.
6) Continue to move the saw head down smoothly and make the cut exerting only gentle
pressure on the downward stroke, letting the saw do the work.
