Your saw is equipped with a battery fault feature. The work
light begins to flash when the battery is near the end of its
useful charge, or when the battery is too hot. Charge the bat-
tery prior to continuing cutting applications. Refer to charging
procedure under Important safety instructions for battery
packs for battery charging instructions.
Mitre control (Fig. J)
The mitre lock knob (5) and mitre latch button (6) allow you
to mitre your saw to 47° right and 47° left. The mitre latch will
automatically locate at 0˚, 15˚, 22.5˚, 31.6˚ and 45˚ both left
and right. To mitre the saw, unlock the mitre lock mechanism
by turning the mitre lock knob (5) anti clockwise to unlock and
clockwise to lock. Pull the mitre latch button (6) up, and set
the mitre angle desired on the mitre scale (8). Lock the mitre
lock knob (5) by turning clockwise.
Bevel Lock Knob (Fig. K)
The bevel lock allows you to bevel the saw 48° to the left.
To adjust the bevel setting, turn the bevel lock knob (12)
counterclockwise to loosen. To tighten, turn the bevel lock
knob clockwise.
Caution! Pinch hazard. Be sure to tighten bevel lock knob
before adjusting overrides.
Trigger Switch (Fig. L)
To turn the saw on, push the lock-off lever (17) to the left,
then depress the trigger switch (1). The saw will run while
the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full
operating speed before making the cut. To turn the saw off,
release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before raising the
saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A
hole (1a) is provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to
lock the switch off.
Your saw is not equipped with an automatic electric blade
brake, but the saw blade should stop within 5 seconds of trig-
ger release. This is not adjustable. If the stop time repeatedly
exceeds 5 seconds, have the tool serviced by an authorised
Stanley FatMax service centre.
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from
the kerf.
Dust Extraction (Fig. M)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and remove the battery pack before transporting,
making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Your saw has a built-in dust port (14) that allows either the
supplied dust bag (35) or a shop vacuum system to be
connected.
To attach the dust bag
Fit the dust bag (35) to the dust port (14) as shown in
u
Figure M.
(Original instructions)
A vacuum tube (38 - not provided) can be fitted to the dust
u
port (14) rather than the dust bag (35). This can be done
by fitting your vacuum tube (38) in place of the dust bag
(35), see figure M.
Use the velcro strap (13a) to hold your vacuum tube (38)
u
clear from the sliding rails (13) whilst operating the saw.
Note: The velcro strap (13a) is not a carrying handle and
should not be used to move or transport the saw.
To empty the dust bag
Remove dust bag (35) from the saw and gently shake or
u
tap the dust bag to empty.
Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port (14).
u
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the
bag. This will not affect cutting performance but will reduce
the saw's dust collection efficiency. To restore your saw's dust
collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag
when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the trash
can or dust receptacle.
Warning! Never operate this saw unless the dust bag is in
place. Wood dust may create a breathing hazard.
Cutting with your saw
If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is
pushed back as far as possible and the rail lock screw (18) is
tightened. This will prevent the saw from sliding along its rails
as the workpiece is engaged.
Note: DO NOT CUT FERROUS METALS OR MASONRY
WITH THIS SAW (NON FERROUS METALS CAN BE CUT
BY THIS SAW. Do not use any abrasive blades.
Note: Refer to guard actuation and visibility in the adjustments
section for important information about the lower guard before
cutting.
Crosscuts (fig. N)
A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any
angle. A straight crosscut is made with the mitre arm at the
zero degree position. Set and lock the mitre arm at zero, hold
the wood firmly on the table and against the fence. With the
rail lock screw (18) tightened, turn on the saw by squeezing
the trigger switch (1).
When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower
the arm smoothly and slowly to cut through the wood. Let the
blade come to a full stop before raising arm.
When cutting anything larger than a 2 x 4 (51 x 102), use an
out-down-back motion with the rail lock screw (18) loosened.
Pull the saw out, toward you, lower the saw head down toward
the work piece, and slowly push the saw back to complete the
cut. Do not allow the saw blade to contact the top of the work
piece while pulling out. The saw may run toward you, possibly
causing personal injury or damage to the work piece.
