RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
OPERATION
Ensure that the diameter, thickness and other
characteristics of the saw blade are suitable for the tool.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and workbenches
invite accidents.
Consider work area environment.
Do not expose power tools to rain.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit.
Do not use power tools in places where there is a risk
of fire or electric shock.
Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators,
cookers, refrigerators).
Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch the tool or
extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from
the work area.
Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored
in a dry, high or locked-up place, out of children's reach.
Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer
when used at the rate for which it was intened.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery,
they can get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves
and non-skid footwear are recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
STANDARD ACCESSORIES
Saw blade, Dust port, spanner.
APPLICATION
Sawing wood
NOISE BUILD-UP
Noise (sound pressure level) in the workplace can exceed
85 dB, in this case, sound insulation and hearing protection
measures must be taken by the operator.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE
POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTACHING OR REMOVING
THE SAW BLADE. BE SURE THAT THE TEETH OF
THE SAW BLADE ARE POINTING UPWARD AT THE
FRONT OF THE TOOL.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE BLADE (Fig. 1~5)
ATTACHING THE BLADE
Pressing the spindle lock button(1), turn the hex-head
bolt (2) with the spanner (3) until the spindle locks.
(See fig. 2)
Loosen the hex-head bolt by turning the spanner
anticlockwise while pressing the spindle lock button.
(See fig. 2)
Remove the hex-head bolt and the outer blade washer
(4).
(See fig. 2)
Retract the lower guard(5) back with the lower guard
lever(6) as far as possible under the upper guard(7).
(See Fig. 3)
Then, attach the saw blade (8) against the inner blade
washer(9) on the spindle. Then fit the outer blade washer
and the hex-head bolt.
(See Fig. 3&4)
Press the spindle lock button again, tighten the hex-
head bolt by turning the spanner clockwise while pressing
the spindle lock button.
(See fig. 5)
After tightening the hex-head bolt, release the spindle
lock button.
REMOVING THE BLADE
Pressing the spindle lock button, turn the hex-head bolt
with the spanner until the spindle locks.
Loosen the hex-head bolt by turning the spanner
anticlockwise while pressing the spindle lock button.
Remove the hex-head bolt and the outer blade washer.
Retract the lower guard back as far as possible under
the upper guard, then remove the saw blade.
ADJUSTING THE RIVING KNIFE (Fig. 6)
Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted so that:
(See
Fig. 6)
A. The distance between the riving knife(11) and the
toothed rim of the saw blade is under 5mm
B. The toothed rim does not extend more than 5mm
beyond the lower edge of the riving knife.
The riving knife should always be used except when
making a plunging cut in the middle of a workpiece.

WARNING
For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than
the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of
the blade.
Use safety glasses. Always use a face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty.
Connect dust extraction equipment. If your saw comes
with a dust extractor/collector, ensure it is properly
connected and used.
Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by the cord
or yank it to disconnect the saw from the power socket-
keep the cord away from sources of heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the
workpiece. It is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Remove adjusting keys and spanners. Get into the
habit of checking to see that all keys and adjusting
spanners have been removed from the tool before turning
it on.
Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry a cordless
tool with a finger on the trigger switch. Ensure the switch
is off when plugging in your saw.
Use outdoor extension leads. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intened for outdoor
use.
