OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When operating the power tool, certain procedures must be
taken into consideration in order to avoid loss of control of the
tool and workpieces, damage to the work area and injury to the
user.
▪
The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed
that of the saw blade. If this does not happen, the saw blade
may become damaged;
▪
Never switch on the saw when the blade is touching the
workpiece. The saw blade must not touch the workpiece
until the maximum rotation speed has been reached;
▪
Never cut without the kerf plate placed on the table;
▪
Make sure that the blade does not contact the table, in the
lowest position;
▪
Always use the clamp to secure the workpiece when cutting.
Unsecured workpieces can fly off at high speed, causing
serious injury;
▪
Do not use this sliding meter saw to cut pieces that are too
small and need to be held by hand;
▪
Cut only one workpiece at a time;
▪
Before you start cutting, ensure that the cutting area is
completely clean. Wood chips can be ejected at high speed,
causing serious injuries;
▪
Avoid cutting deformed or bowed workpieces. These
workpieces can shift and cause the saw blade to warp.
▪
Never cut pieces that contain nails or metal objects;
▪
Whenever you change the bevel or miter angle before
cutting, make sure that the blade does not contact any metal
part. Before turning on the power tool and without any
workpiece placed over the table, perform a complete
simulated cut to ensure there will be no interference;
▪
After finishing the cut, release the trigger switch and hold the
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop completely
before removing the cut-off piece.
Keep your hands away from the blade and the cutting
area while the blade is rotating and cause serious injury.
Adjusting the cutting depth
When adjusting the cutting depth, ensure that the edge
of the blade is less than 5mm below the upper level of the
kerf plate (11);
To set the cutting depth, use the adjustment screw, which is
located near the laser switch.
1.
Use the screw to set to the maximum depth allowed. Keep
this screw always in the same position, thus ensuring that the
blade never touches the turntable;
2.
Use the screw to adjust the cutting depth.
- Loosen the screw and adjust the locknut to increase the
cutting depth;
- Tighten the screw and adjust the locknut to decrease the
cutting depth.
Adjustment of 0° and 45° positions on the angle scale
To adjust the blade limit positions (0°/45°), use the adjustment
screws.
1.
Use the right screw to adjust to the exact angle of 0°;
2.
Use the left screw to the exact angle of 45°.
Adjusting the miter angle
1.
Loosen the miter locking handle (12) from the turntable (15);
2.
Rotate the turntable to the desired miter angle (right or left)
(45°- 0°- 45°);
The turntable can rotate up to 50° to both sides as shown
in the scale.
3.
The miter angle indicator (13) marks the selected angle on
the scale (14) placed on the base.
