OPERATION

CAUTION: To ensure the correct blade rotation, always install the blade with the blade teeth and the arrow

printed on the side of the blade pointing downwards. The direction of the blade’s rotation is also stamped with an

arrow on the upper blade guard.

12. Replace the outer flange.

13. Depress the spindle lock button (Figure 7) and replace the arbor bolt.

14. Use the hex key to tighten the arbor bolt securely (tighten in a counterclockwise direction).

15. After lowering the blade guard, hold the rotating lower blade guard and arbor bolt cover in position and

tighten the fixing screw .

16. Replace the guard retraction arm and secure onto the rotating blade guard.

17. Check that the blade guard operates correctly and covers the blade as the saw arm is lowered.

18. Connect the saw to the power source and run the blade to make certain that it is operating correctly.

CROSS-CUTTING WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION

When cutting a narrow piece of wood, it is not necessary to use the slide mechanism. In these cases, ensure that

the slide lock knob is screwed down to prevent the saw arm from sliding. A cross cut is made by cutting across the

grain of the work piece. A 90° crosscut is made with the miter table set at 0°. Miter cross cuts are made with the

table set at some angle other than zero.

1. Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2) and lift the saw arm to its full height.

2. Loosen the miter lock (FIGURE 4).

3. Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.

4. Retighten the miter lock by turning miter table lock (FIGURE 4).

WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the

table moving during the cut and may cause serious personal injury.

5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the

convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the

blade.

6. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber

with either the side support arms, a roller stand, a work surface level with the saw’s

table, or a combination of the three.

7. Use the clamp assembly to secure the workpiece wherever possible.

8. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly by loosening the clamp assembly

lock and moving it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly

lock is tight before using the clamp (FIGURE 21).

9. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check

that there are no problems.

10. Hold the operating handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed

and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

11. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the work-

piece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.
