Fit the outer washer (15) on the spindle, with the raised
N
part pointing away from the saw blade.
Insert the blade retaining screw (14) into the hole.
N
Keep the spindle lock button (5) depressed.
N
Securely tighten the blade retaining screw by turning it
N
clockwise using the spanner (12) supplied.
Adjust the riving knife as described below.
N
Adjusting the riving knife (fig. B)
The riving knife prevents the saw blade from jamming during
rip sawing operations. The riving knife must be adjusted after
replacing the saw blade.
Loosen the screws (17), using the spanner (12), while
N
holding the riving knife in position. You will need to
reduce the depth of cut to obtain access to the screws.
Position the riving knife (9) as shown.
N
The distance between the toothed rim and the riving knife
N
should be 2 - 3 mm.
The height difference between the toothed rim and the
N
lower end of the riving knife should be 2 - 3 mm.
Tighten the screws.
N
Fitting and removing the parallel fence (fig. C)
The parallel fence is used to saw in a straight line parellel
N
to the edge of the workpiece.
Fitting
Loosen the locking knob (18).
N
Insert the parallel fence (10) through the openings (19).
N
Slide the parallel fence into the desired position.
N
Tighten the locking knob.
N
Removing
Loosen the locking knob.
N
Pull the parallel fence out of the tool.
N
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
This tool can be used in the right hand or the left hand.
Adjusting the blade angle (fig. D)
The default angle between the saw blade and the shoe
is 90°.
Use a square to check that the angle between the saw
N
blade and the shoe is 90°. If the angle does not measure
90° adjust as follows:
Loosen the locking knob (20) to unlock the saw shoe.
N
Screw the adjusting screw (21) in or out to achieve a 90°
N
angle.
Tighten the locking knob to lock the saw shoe in place.
N
Adjusting the depth of cut (fig. E)
The depth of cut should be set according to the thickness of
the workpiece. It should exceed the thickness by approx. 2 mm.
Loosen the lever (22) to unlock the saw shoe.
N
Move the saw shoe (6) into the desired position. The
N
corresponding depth of cut can be read from the scale (23).
Tighten the lever to lock the saw shoe in place.
N
Adjusting the bevel angle (fig. F)
This tool can be set to bevel angles between 0° and 45°.
Loosen the locking knob (20) to unlock the saw shoe.
N
Move the saw shoe (6) into the desired position. The
N
corresponding bevel angle can be read from the scale (24).
Tighten the locking knob to lock the saw shoe in place.
N
Switching on and off
To switch the tool on, move the lock-off button (2) into the
N
unlock position and squeeze the on/off switch (1).
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch.
N
Sawing
Always hold the tool with both hands.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
N
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
N
the cut.
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
N
Hints for optimum use
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side
N
of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side
where splintering is acceptable.
Where splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
N
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.
Using the sight guide (fig. G)
The tool is equipped with a sight guide for straight cutting (25)
and for 45° mitre cutting (26).
Adjust the sight guide as described below.
N
Align the left edge of the guides (25) or (26) with the
N
cutting line (27).
Keep the sight guide aligned with the cutting line while
N
sawing.
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
N
Adjusting the sight guide
Make a test cut halfway through a piece of scrap wood.
N
Withdraw the saw so the cutting line (27) becomes
N
visible.
While keeping the saw in this position, loosen the sight
N
guide on the saw shoe as shown.
