Warning: blade teeth are very sharp.
For best
cutting results ensure you use a blade suited to
the material and cut quality you need.
7. ROLLER GUIDE(See Fig F)
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in
the groove (See Fig. F) otherwise the pendulum
function will not work correctly and the blade will
not be supported during cutting.

8. MOUNTING PARALLEL GUIDE (See G1, G2.)
Slide the parallel guide arm through both parallel
guide fixtures and tighten the locking knob (a) to
achieve the required cutting distance. The parallel
guide can be mounted in two positions as shown
in G1and G2.

9. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL (See Fig. H)
The pendulum action varies the forward cutting
angle of the blade for increased cutting efficiency.
This can also be adjusted during no load running.
Refer to the chart 2 for more details. Do not use
excessive blade force when cutting with the
pendulum action. The blade cuts on the upward
stroke only.

10. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (7) enables
bevel cutting. The base plate must always be held
firmly against the materials being cut to reduce
saw vibration, blade jumping or blade breakage.
11. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Use an Allen key (5). Loosen the bolts securing
the base plate (See Fig I). For preset angles
rotate so the lines of the angle on the base plate
and angle plate (8) superposition at the desired
angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°) (See Fig J). For other
mitre angles, rotate to your desired angle (use
