When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a workpiece, center the saw blade in the
saw gap and check that the saw teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade
jams, it can move out from the workpiece or a kickback can happen if the saw is restarted.
Prop up large panels in order to minimise the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw blade.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides,
both in the vicinity of the saw gap as well as on the edge.
Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback by an excessively narrow saw
gap.
Tighten the cutting depth position prior to cutting. If the settings change while cutting, the
saw blade can jam and a kickback can occur.
Be especially careful if you perform a "circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an existing
wall. The protruding saw blade can get blocked in hidden objects while cutting and cause
a kickback.
Do not place the saw on the workbench or the floor unless the saw blade is at a standstill.
An unprotected, running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting direction and cuts
whatever is in its way. Thus note the delay time of the saw.
For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in reverse position as fixed equipment.
Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or has been damaged. In case of
technical problems, do not attempt to repair it on your own. Contact the service or have
the saw repaired by a professional.
8 ASSEMBLY
Check for damage to the tool, parts and accessories which may have occurred during
transportation. Take some time to read this manual carefully and understand all the content
prior to assembly and operation.
CAUTION! Always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from
the mains supply before assembly.
8.1
Changing the blade (Fig. 1, 2, 3)
Place the saw on its side of a flat surface.
Put the hex key in the hex bolts head. While keeping the Spindle Lock Button(11)
depressed, turn the hex key (F) slowly clock-wise until the blade locks ( spindle lock
latches into place) and continue turning it to loosen the blade clamp screw(8).
Remove the blade clamp screw(8), the washer and the outer flange.
Press the unlock button (5) , hold, lift the base plate (pushing the front side upward) to free
the blade and remove it.
Clean the saw blade flanges and then mount the new saw blade onto the spindle.
Make sure the saw teeth and arrow on the blade point in the same direction as the arrow
shown on the guard.
Reinstall the outer flange, washer and tighten the blade clamp screw(8) anti-clockwise.
Make sure the saw blade can turn freely by turning the blade using the hex key. (check the
spindle-lock button is unlocked).
8.2
Parallel cut adjustment.( See Fig 4)
Loosen the edge guide locking screw(1).
Slide the edge guide through the slots (13) in the slot to the desired width.
Tighten the edge guide locking screw(1) to secure it in the position.
Ensure that the fence guide(E) rests against the wood along its entire length to give a
consistent parallel cuts.)
