WARNING:
Prior to inspection or saw maintenance, turn off power switch and
disconnect plug from power source.
REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES
1. Check and remove the carbon brushes regularly.
2. Replace when they wear down to the limit (1/4) mark
(fig.3)
.
. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
4. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
5. Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
6. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush
holder caps.
CALIBRATION OF CUT
Each degree error in your mitre 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 mitre 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 MITRE ANGLE:
1. The fence is secured with four allen 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 mitre 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 each side of where the arm pivots, are two allen
socket head depth setting screws.
2. Loosen their locking nuts and these can be turned up or down, which will zero
the stop points to be correct at 45 degrees and 0 degrees of bevel (vertical or
90 degrees to the cutting surface).
3. Check the settings with a square against the blade.
4. Re-tighten the locking nuts once the angles are correct.
Once the bevel is correct, the red bevel degree indicator at the back 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 when the vertical stop is contacted.
2. Re-tighten the screw.
