OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
13) Replace the top sections (19A + 19B) of the
fence and secure the hex screw using the
5mm hex key.
Changing a blade
DANGER!
Never try to use a blade larger than
the stated capacity of the saw. It might come
into contact with the blade guards. Never use a
blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade
washer to engage with the flats on the spindle.
It will prevent the blade screw from properly
securing the blade on the spindle. Do not use
the saw to cut metal or masonry.
The top sections (19A and 19B) can be moved
outwards after removing the hex screw on the
and after the hex screw has
been tightened, can be used as a fence extension.
Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings that
may be required suit the spindle and the blade
fitted.
1) Make sure that the electrical plug is removed
from the power point.
2) Push down on the operating handle (7) and
pull the release knob (6) to disengage the saw
arm (5).The release knob (6) can be turned so
that it is held in the retracted position.
3) Raise the saw arm (5) to its highest position.
4) Using a Phillips head screwdriver loosen and
remove the screw and the spacer washer
that secure the guard retraction arm (13) to
the rotating blade guard (12). (B4) Swing the
guard upwards.
5) Using a Phillips head screwdriver loosen and
remove the screw that secures the blade bolt
cover (14). (B5)
6) Pull the rotating blade guard (12) down then
swing it up together with the blade bolt cover
(14).When the rotating blade guard (12) is
positioned over the upper fixed blade guard
(9) it is possible to access the blade bolt.
7) Hold the rotating guard (12) up and press the
spindle lock button (26). Rotate the blade until
the spindle locks. (B6)
8) Use the flange wrench (40) provided to loosen
and remove the blade bolt. (Loosen in a
clockwise direction as the blade screw has a
left hand thread). (B7)
9) Remove the flat washer and outer blade
washer and the blade. (B8)
10) Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner blade
washer and the outer blade washer where
they contact the blade.
11) Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking
care that the inner blade washer sits behind
the blade.
CAUTION.
To ensure correct blade rotation,
always install the blade with the blade teeth
and the arrow printed on the side of the blade
pointing down.The direction of blade rotation is
also stamped with an arrow on the upper blade
guard.
12) Replace the outer blade washer.
13) Depress the spindle lock button (26) and
replace the flat washer and blade bolt.
14) Use the wrench (40) to tighten the blade
bolt securely (tighten in an anti-clockwise
direction).
15) Lower the blade guard, hold the rotating
lower blade guard (12) and blade bolt cover
(14) in position and tighten the fixing screw.
16) Replace the guard retraction arm and secure
onto the rotating blade guard.
17) Check that the blade guard operates cor-
rectly and covers the blade as the saw arm
is lowered.
18) Connect the saw to the power supply and
run the blade to make certain that it is ope-
rating correctly.
Cross-cutting (without slide action)
When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not
necessary to use the slide mechanism. In these
cases ensure that the slide lock (29) is screwed
down to prevent the saw arm from sliding.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of
the workpiece. A 90º crosscut is made with the
mitre table set at 0º. Mitre crosscuts are made
with the table set at some angle other than zero.
1) Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw
arm (5) to its full height.
