6.2.1. 

  

ensure that the saw is disconnected from the power supply.

Adjust the blade speed to suit the workpiece material (see sections 5.3. and 5.4).

6.2.3.   

Raise the saw arm to the vertical position and rotate the support plate (18) so that it engages into the notch in the edge of the main    

 

body frame, see fig.20. Adjust vertical travel by winding vertical stop bolt out or in, see fig.18.

6.2.4.   

Remove the two screws (68) from the end face of the lower blade guide, see white arrows in fig.12, remove blade guard (69) and    

 

replace with table (55) and its support (56). Loosen the lower blade guide nut and washer sufficiently to allow the slotted end of the    

 

support to pass between the washer and body frame and then retighten the nut. Retain table by replacing screws (68), see fig.19.

6.2.5. 

  

Adjust the upper blade guide so that no more blade is exposed than is required to cut the workpiece.

6.2.6. 

  

when cutting keep hands well clear of the blade and always use a push stick for small workpieces.
