opeRatioN
NOTE:
1) Your saw does not cut wood automatically. You have
to guide the wood against the blade for operation.
2) The teeth cut only on the down stroke of the blade.
3) You have to guide the wood slowly against the blade
because the teeth are very small.
4) When cutting thick timber, be particularly careful
not to bend or twist the blade. This will help to prolong
blade life.
1. oN/oFF Sw ITCH (SEE FIG E1)
To turn the machine on, move the switch up to the “ON”
position. To turn it off, move the switch down to the
“OFF” position.
To “Lock-off” the machine:
When the machine is not in use and to prevent
unauthorized use, the switch should be locked in the
“OFF” position. To do this, pull the locking key out of
the ON/OFF switch and store the key in a secure place.
With the key removed, the switch will not operate.
2. BLADE SPEED REGULATOR (1)
The blade speed regulator allows you to set the blade
speed appropriate to the material to be cut.
3. caRRYiNG out iNteRNal cutS
1) To carry out internal cuts in a panel, firstly remove
the blade.
2) Drill a 1/4” (6.3 mm) hole in the panel.
3) Place the panel on the saw table with the drilled hole
above the access hole.
4) Install the blade through the hole in the panel and
adjust the blade tension.
5) When you have completed the internal cuts, remove
the blade from the blade holders and take the panel off
the table.
4. adapteR FoR Saw blade S (SEE FIG F1—FIG F4)
—Attaching the blade adaptors to plain end blades
Adjust one set screw on each adaptor until it covers
approximately half the hole. (Fig F1)
loosen the other set screw just enough to slide one
adaptor onto each end of the blade (10) as shown.
(Fig F2)
Place the blade and adaptors into the gauge to set the
blade to the proper length as shown in Fig F3.
—Attaching the blade adaptors to plain end blades
for side cuTTING (SEE FIG F4)
a. Remove both set screws from each blade adap¬tor,
thread them into the opposite holes in the blade
adaptor perpendicular to the adjustment pin, and
repeat steps above with the blade in the side cutting
position.
b. Cutting from the side of the saw will be necessary
when your workpiece exceeds 16” in length. With
the blade positioned for side cutting, the table must
always remain in the 0° bevel position.
waRNiNG : Do not attempt to cut a bevel with the
blade positioned for side cutting.
5. uSiNG the duSt bloweR t UBE (SEE FIG.G)
