ON/OFF Trigger Switch (Fig. 10)
This machine is equipped with a safety start trigger switch.
To start the machine:
• Push in the safety lock button on the side of the handle with
your thumb.
• Depress the main trigger switch to start the motor.
WARNING: Never start the saw with the cutting edge of the
saw blade in contact with the workpiece surface.
Chip Collector
This machine is fitted with a chip collector to capture metal
chips. The chip collector cover plate is provided with a
transparent 'window' so that the operator can see the contents
and empty when necessary.
WARNING: The chip collector is very efficient and must be
checked and emptied at regular intervals.
When cutting steel the chip collector can become hot.
Care must be taken when handling the chip collector.
To remove and empty the chip collector:
• Loosen the chip collector thumb screw.
• Ease the chip collector from the machine.
• Empty the contents of the chip collector by tipping the
collector and machine upside down over a suitable waste
container, allowing the contents to fall out.
Note: To maintain operational efficiency we recommend that
the collector is emptied when approximately 60% full. Dispose
of the contents of the chip collector in an environmentally
responsible manner.
• Replace the Chip Collector and securely tighten the thumb screw.
Line of Cut Guide Slots
Guide slots are provided at the front of the saw base plate. The
right slot is used to follow a line when making a 90-degree cut.
The left slot is used to follow a line when making a 45-degree cut.
