ATTACHING BLADE ADAPTORS TO PLAIN END
BLADES (Straight Cutting)
1. Adjust one setscrew on each adaptor until it covers
approximately half the hole.
2. Loosen the other setscrew just enough to slide one adap-
tor onto each end of the blade as shown.
3. Place the blade and adaptors into the gauge to set the
blade to the proper length as shown, and securely tighten
the other setscrew with the wrench provided.
ATTACHING BLADE ADAPTORS TO PLAIN END
BLADES (Side Cutting)
1. Remove both setscrews from each blade adap-tor, thread
them into the opposite holes in the blade adaptor perpen-
dicular to the adjustment pin, and repeat steps 1,2 & 3 of
above with the blade in the side cutting position.
Cutting from the side of the saw will be necessary when
your workpiece exceeds 405mm 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.
