slot
45
. Place the new blade
46
into the slot
(locked) position assuring that the teeth of the blade does not come into contact with the
spindle (Fig. CC–EE).

spindle (Fig. FF). Place one 6 mm hex key into the motor spindle and the other 6 mm hex
key on the blade screw, tighten the blade screw and external flange (Fig. Y).
nOTE: Lift the lower guard and slowly turn the blade to make sure the blade moves freely
without any side to side movement.
6. The head is ready for cutting (Fig. GG).
WARNING: The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be dangerous.
WARNING: The direction of rotation is indicated by the arrow on the motor.
WARNING: Make sure that the washer of the arbour nut is against the outer flange.
Checking that the Arm is Parallel to the Table Top (Fig. A, HH)
1. Lower the blade
until it only just touches the fixed table top
46
2. Release the mitre latch lever
11
and the mitre clamp lever
3. Extend the blade forward past the fence then swing arm so that the blade skims the table
top across its width.
4. Repeat this procedure with the blade in rear position and adjust the rear bolt if required.
Checking that the Blade is Perpendicular to the Table Top (Fig. A, II–KK)
1. Bring the arm
14
back to central position.
2. Place a steel square
48
against the blade body (Fig. II).
3. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the bevel pointer disk
50
b. Loosen all three hex screws that will be exposed in this way (Fig. KK).
c. Place a hex key in the motor arbour and tap until the blade is flat against the square.
4. Firmly tighten all fasteners.
WARNING: It is particularly important to tighten the central hex screw.
5. Replace the bevel pointer disk

3. Pull the blade towards you to check that the blade traverses parallel to the square.
4. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. With the mitre latch lever
as shown in Figure MM.
b. Loosen the locknuts

5. To adjust the arm
14
to the left, loosen the stud
and tighten the opposite stud (Fig. OO).

OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
•
Ensure the material to be sawn is firmly secured in place.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side pressure on the
saw blade.
•
Avoid overloading.
WARNING:
•
Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades. The maximum
rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the saw blade.
•
Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
•
Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
•
Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
•
Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
•
Never run the machine without the guards in place.
•
Never lift the machine by the table top.
•
Always check that there is a suitable slot in the table top.
•
Always refer to Figure UU to check the fence position and type.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines regulations 1974" and any
subsequent amendments.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A)
The on/off switch of your radial arm saw offers multiple advantages:
no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for some reason, the switch
-
has to be deliberately reactivated.
-
Motor overload protection device: in case of motor overload, the power supply to
the motor will be cut off. If this happens, let the motor cool for 10 minutes and then
press the reset button.
Braking system: after switching off, the braking system will stop the saw blade within
-
10 seconds.
-
The switch has hold-to-run functions only.
To switch the machine on, press the green actuator
released the machine stops automatically.
Making a Trial Cut (Fig. A)
1. With the mitre latch lever
positioned for a straight 0° cross-cut.
2. Lower the arm until the blade almost touches the table top.
3. Place the workpiece against the front of the fence.
4. Switch on and lower the arm to allow the blade to cut a shallow groove in the
table surface.
5. Pull the blade towards you so that it cuts a vertical slot in the wooden fence and through
the workpiece.
6. Return the blade back to rest position and switch off.
7. Check that the cut is a true 90° in all planes and adjust if required.
