Adjustments
Ensure the machine is disconnected from the mains supply before attempting to make
any adjustment.
Depth Of Cut
Always keep correct depth setting. The correct depth setting for all cuts should not exceed
6mm below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chances of kick-
back and result in a rough cut.
1. Loosen depth adjustment knob, (see Fig. 1).
2. Hold base flat against workpiece and raise or lower saw until the required depth is
obtained.
3. Tighten depth adjustment knob securely, (hand tight only).
Rip Fence
The rip fence is used when making parallel cuts up to 100mm wide, it helps prevent the
blade from twisting in the cut and causing kickback.
1. Install the side fence into the slots on the front sole plate.
2. Adjust the fence to the required position by measuring from the edge of the blade
tooth, to the edge of the fence where it rests against the workpiece.
3. Tighten clamp screw, (see Fig. 1), securely, (hand tight only).
Bevel Setting (angle)
1. Loosen angle adjusting levers 1 & 2, (see Fig. 1).
2. Adjust to required angle setting on the bevel scale, (ref angle lever 1).
3. Tighten levers 1 & 2 securely, (hand tight only).
WARNING
BE AWARE that incorrect or improper use of this machine could cause KICKBACK.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw is driven back towards you.
Blade stalling is caused by any action which pinches the blade into the wood being cut.
Release the ON/OFF switch immediately if blade binds or stalls.
Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw and could result in personal injury
Common Causes Of Kickback
1. Incorrect blade depth setting, (Blade protruding more than 6mm below workpiece).
2. Sawing into knots or nails etc.
3. Twisting blade while making cut.
4. Sawing with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set blade.
5. Not supporting workpiece securely.
6. Cutting warped or wet timber.
7. Forcing saw through the cut.
