5. CUTTING GUIDE
There is a cutting guide notch (10) on the front of the
base plate (11) for use with a parallel guide. For straight
cuts, use the 0º guide mark to align with your parallel
guide scale. For a 45º bevel cut, use the 45º guide mark
to align with your parallel guide scale (See Fig. G,H).
Securely clamp the parallel guide Always make a trial
cut to check the setting.
6. FRONT HANDLE (See Fig.I, J)
Adjust the base plate angle and cutting depth to the
required level and then 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 is at maximum speed
slowly pushing forward. Hold the saw securely with
both hands.
7. FITTING AND CHANGING A SAW BLADE
(See Fig.K)
REMOVING THE BLADE
Press the spindle lock button(19) and keep it depressed.
Manually rotate the blade until the spindle lock “clicks”
into place and keeps the blade from spinning freely.
Loosen the blade bolt (13) with the wrench (18) by
turning it anti-clockwise. Remove the outer flange(15).
Manually retract back the lower blade guard and hold it
firmly with the lower guard lever (12). Remove the saw
blade (16).
MOUNTING THE BLADE
Check to make sure the blade surface and flanges are
clean before reinstalling.
Place the blade onto the spindle making sure the arrow
on the blade matches the arrow direction on the fixed
upper guard.
Depress the spindle lock button(19).
Insert the outer flange (15) over the spindle and tighten
the bolt (turning it clockwise) with 1/4 turn more than
finger tight using the wrench.
Check that the blade is securely fastened by continuing
to hold down the spindle lock button and attempting
to
manually rotate the blade. If installed correctly, the
blade should not spin.
For best cutting results, use a saw blade suited to the
material and cut quality desired.
