ASSEMBLY
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-
up can cause injury.
Unpacking
The motor and guards are already assembled onto the base.
Bench Mounting (fi g. 2)
1. Holes (v) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different
sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both.
Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance
the portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support
or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
2. When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that
the mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood.
The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping
the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any
other point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
3. To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is
not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface,
place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is
firm on the mounting surface.
Mounting the Saw Blade (fi g. 2, 6–8)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and
can be dangerous.
WARNING: Be aware the saw blade shall be replaced in
the described way only. Only use saw blades as specified
under Technical Data; Cat.no.: DT4282 is suggested.
