specified in these instructions.
Do not stop the blade by lateral pressure on the disc.
•
When cutting wood, suitable dust extraction and breathing apparatus
•
must be used, and the chip collection compartment MUST be
emptied before cutting other materials.
Ensure that moveable guards operate freely without jamming.
•
Never use the tool without the original protection guard system.
•
Do not lock the moving guard in the open position.
Always keep the power cord away from moving parts of the tool.
•
When you put the tool away, switch off the motor and ensure that all
•
moving parts have come to a complete standstill.
In case of jamming, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect
•
the plug.
Before using accessories, always compare the maximum allowed
•
RPM of the accessory with the RPM of the tool.
Ensure that the cutting depth adjustment handle, and angle
•
adjustment handle, are firmly fixed while using the tool.
Only use the flanges and washers that are supplied with the tool,
•
and replace them if they become damaged or scored.
Machine Set Up
Mounting / Removing TCT Saw Blades
Remove the chip collection cover from the machine by undoing the two
knurled knobs on the back. Using the supplied Allen Wrench, undo the
M8 bolt that secures the blade and remove the blade flange. Note: Use
spindle lock. Replace blade, making sure that the arrow for the direction
of rotation of the blade matches that of the machine then tighten the M8
bolt with the flange in the correct position. Note: Check that the spindle
lock is fully released by manually rotating the blade before use.
Adjustment Of The Cutting Depth
Release the handle to adjust to the required cutting depth. Ensure that
the blade protrudes a maximum of 5/8" (4mm) through the material being
cut. Tighten the handle fully to lock in position.
Adjustment Of The Cutting Angle
Release locking handle and adjust to the required cutting angle by
lining up the mark with the imprinted scale. Tighten handle fully to lock
in position. Note: There are certain compound cuts on which it may be
necessary to manually retract the guard to allow the blade to enter into
and / or through the cut.
Line Of Cut Guide Slots
Guide slots are provided at the front of the saw base. One slot is used
to follow a line when making a 90-degree cut. The other slot is used to
follow a line when making a 45-degree cut.
Operating Advice
Always clamp the work piece on a rigid support such as a bench or saw
horses where possible. This tool is equipped with a safety start feature
– to start the tool, you must first push in the switch on the side of the
handle with your thumb – you can then depress the main trigger switch
to power the motor. Do not force the tool – let the speed of the saw
blade do the work. Cutting performance will not improve by applying
more pressure on the tool and blade life will be reduced. When using the
parallel guide, ensure that it is parallel with the blade and not the base of
the tool, as otherwise the blade and motor could become damaged. To
set the guide, loosen the retaining screw, and slide it up snugly against
the side of the work piece. Retighten the screw to secure it in the desired
position. Place front edge of saw squarely on work before starting motor.
When starting a cut, sight the cutting line with the line of cut guide taking
care to introduce the blade to the material slowly, so as not to damage its
teeth. Use both hands to move the saw forward through the work piece.
If the tool overload protection device activates – allow the motor to cool
and then press the reset button to continue operation.
