distance between the riving knife and the toothed
rim of the Saw Blade(11) is not more than 5mm.
Ensure that the toothed rim does not extend the
lower of the riving knife more than 5mm.

5. CUTTING OPERATION
Set the required Base Plate angle and cutting
depth. Place front of the Base Plate on the
workpiece (do not allow the blade to touch the
workpiece at this time).
Start the saw. When the saw reaches the
maximum speed, push it forward slowly. Always
hold your saw firmly with both hands when
operating.
6. FITTING / REPLACING A SAW BLADE (SEE
FIG. H & I)
Hold the outer flange (C) with the wrench
and rotate the blade bolt (A) in anti-clockwise
direction with the hex key. Remove the blade
bolt (A), the washer (B) and the outer flange
(C). Rotate the lower blade guard clockwise by
pushing the guard lever to take out the old blade
(11). Fit a replaced blade. Ensure that the blade
bore is located on the inner flange (D) and the
blade direction arrow points in the same direction
as the Upper Blade(15) guard arrow. Place the
outer flange (C), the washer (B) and the blade
bolt (A) onto the blade bore. Tighten the bolt with
1/4 turn more than finger tight. Check if the blade
is securely clamped.

7. DUST EXTRACTION OUTLET (SEE FIG. J)
To remove sawdust, connect a suitable external
dust extraction machine (e.g. vacuum cleaner)
to the dust extraction outlet with the Vacuum
Adapter(14) and a flexible hose connection. Use
two bolts to fix the dust adapter onto the dust
extraction outlet. Ensure the hose connection is
secure.

If your power tool becomes too hot, run it no
load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds.
Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. The quality of
cut will improve as the number of blade teeth
increase. Always ensure the work-piece is
firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Support large panels close to the cut line. Any
movement of the material may affect the quality
of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke
and may chip the uppermost surface or edges
of your work piece. When cutting, ensure your
uppermost surface is a non-visible surface
when your work is finished. Feeding too fast
significantly reduces the performance of the
machine and shortens the life of the saw blade.
Always face the good side of the work piece
down to ensure minimum splintering. Only use
sharp saw blades of the correct type.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication
or maintenance. There are no user serviceable
parts in your power tool. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of
