Operating Instructions...

1.

Make sure you have read and fully understood the general instructions and safety precautions 

that  are printed in the preceding pages of this manual.

2.

Before connecting the machine to the supply; check the tool for obvious signs of damage, paying

particular attention to the plug and the power cable.  Rectify or have rectified any damage you
discover. Check that the blade you are using is the correct one for the job in hand. Change the blade
if necessary. Check the blade is not damaged; is clean, sharp, tracks properly and is correctly
tensioned. 

3.

Set the upper blade guide to approximately 12mm (1/2") above the height of the workpiece.

4.

Check  (especially on site), that there are no foreign objects  e.g. old nails, screws, small stones

etc. embedded in the material you are about to cut.

5.

Check that all accessories, tools etc., that have been used to set the machine up, are removed and

set carefully aside or stowed away correctly.

6.

Ensure the machine is switched off. Plug the power cable into a correctly rated switched socket

outlet. If extension leads are being used, check these for damage, do not use if damaged; if you are
working outside, check that any extension cables in use are rated for outside work. Switch on. Allow
the saw to run up to speed.

7.

Make sure that the material you are about to cut is within the machine capacity, and the cut you are

about to make is within the blades’ capabilities. e.g. Don’t try and cut a 1" radius curve using a 5/8"
blade. 

8.

Make sure the blade is not in contact with the material when you start the saw. Start the cutting

operation. Do not try to cut too quickly; the correct cutting speed, if one could be so precise, would
never see the blade pushed back against the thrust bearing, the saw would cut and clear the saw line
at the rate the workpiece was fed into it. If you notice that you require more and more pressure to
effect the cut, and the blade is in continual contact with the thrust bearing, the chances are the blade
is becoming blunt. Check and change if necessary. Do not let go of the workpiece, if you have to
change your grip, make sure one hand is holding the material at all times.

9.

If you are cutting long pieces of material think about sawing cutouts (i.e. a saw cut from the edge of

the material to the saw line) along the saw line so that you can discard the offcuts as you progress
down the saw line. 

10.

Observe the old woodworkers’ adage of never allowing your hand/fingers within one handbreadth

of the blade.

11.

If you have to cut very small pieces of material, arrange or manufacture some form of ‘shoe’ to

carry the timber. If the workpiece is exceptionally small, find something to use as a sacrificial carrier
and mount the workpiece on it with double sided tape, or similar.

12.

Remember to check the blade tension after a new blade has been ‘working’ for 30-60 mins. The

blade will ‘stretch’ slightly when new.  

13.

Do not release the tension on the saw blade when work is complete. The blades and the main saw

frame do not respond kindly to frequent large changes in stress and tension. Only release the tension
to change the blade or if  the blade is to be removed because the machine is to be ‘mothballed’ for a
lengthy time   period. (The blade in tension over a long period of non-use will cause the tyres to
develop ‘flat’ spots).
