OPERATION
1. REMOVAL AND REFITTING THE SAW BLADE (Fig 1.)
Unplug the saw.
Press in the blade lock button and rotate blade until the blade
locking pin activates and the blade will no longer rotate.While
still pressing the blade lock button, remove the blade bolt using
the allen key, rotating anti-clockwise. Remove the blade bolt
and outer washer. The blade can now be removed.
2. LOCK-OFF BUTTON
The lock-off button provides a safety measure to prevent the
saw from being accidentally switched on.The trigger switch
can only be depressed. When the switch is released, the lock-
off button is automatically re-engaged, preventing inadvertent
operation of the saw.
3. MOTOR HOUSING
Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has
entered the grills at the rear of the motor housing. Use a soft
brush to remove any accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses
to protect your eyes whilst cleaning.
4. BEVEL ANGLE LOCKING LEVER (Fig 2.)
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and
unplugged from the power supply before making any
adjustments.
To adjust the cutting angle loosen the angle locking lever
located at the front of the base plate. Tilt the body of the saw
until the required angle is reached using the quadrant scale
as a guide.
For accurate work, it is necessary to make a trial cut, measure
the work and reset the angle until the correct setting is
achieved. Tighten the locking lever to secure the base plate.
5. LOWER BLADE GUARD
As the saw advances through the work piece, the pivoting
lower blade guard is pushed back by the edge of the work to
expose only that part of the blade which is needed. When
the blade clears the work, the spring-loaded lower blade
guard snaps back to completely enclose the blade.
6. DEPTH LOCKING LEVER (Fig 3.)
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and
unplugged from the power supply before making any
adjustments.
To adjust the cutting depth of the saw, first turn the saw so
that it is facing away from you. Next loosen the depth locking
lever. Now, hold the base plate flat against the edge of the
work piece and lift the body of the saw until the blade is at
the right depth. Finally, tighten the depth locking lever.
WARNING: Your saw should never be connected
to the power supply when you are assembling
parts, making adjustments, assembling or
removing blades, cleaning, or when not in use.
Disconnecting your saw will prevent accidental
starting that could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: 190mm blade is the maximum blade
capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is
too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage
with the flat on the spindle. Larger blades will
come in contact with the blades guards, while
thicker blades will prevent blade bolt from
securing blade on spindle correctly. Either of
these situations could result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury
