Automatic Electric Brake - Stanley FATMAX SFMCS550 Manual De Instrucciones

Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will

be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the Battery in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger Diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the charg ing
indicator (25) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as follows:
Re-insert the battery (15).

If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast

rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original

battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original

battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
NOTE: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
fl ash at each speed and repeat.
Attaching and Removing the Blade (Fig. C)
1. Retract lower guard and assemble saw blade (6) and
outer blade clamp washer (11) as shown in Figure C.
2. Depress the spindle lock button (14) while turning the
blade retaining bolt (12) with the hex wrench (17) until the
blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating.
NOTE: Hex wrench is stored on the saw as shown in Figure A.
Tighten the blade retaining bolt securely with the hex wrench.
NOTE: Bolt has a right-handed thread. To loosen, turn
counterclockwise. To tighten, turn clockwise.
NOTE: Never engage the blade lock while the saw is running,
or engage in an effort to stop the tool. Never turn the tool on
while the blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to your saw
will result.
Supporting Large Panels/Securing Workpiece
(Fig. D-G)
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching
and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight as shown in Figure D.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near
@
the line of cut and near the edge of the panel (Figure E).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury Never hold
the piece being cut with your hands or lay it across
your leg (Figure F).
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform as shown in
Figure G. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
(Original instructions)
Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig. G-I)
The depth of cut should be set according to the thickness of
the workpiece.
1. Loosen the depth adjustment lever (13) to unlock the saw
shoe (5).
2. Align the saw shoe with the desired depth of cut indicated
on the scale markings on the depth strap.
3. Set depth adjustment of saw such that one tooth (19) of
the blade projects below the workpiece (20) as shown in
Figure I.
4. Tighten the depth adjustment lever to lock the saw shoe
in place.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. J)
This tool can be set to bevel angles between 0° and 56°.
1. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (9) to unlock the saw
shoe (5).
2. Move the saw shoe into the desired position
corresponding with the bevel angle markings on the bevel
angle scale (10).
3. Tighten the bevel adjustment lever to lock the saw shoe
in place.
4. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the bevel
angle of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Shoe Adjustment for 90° Cuts (Fig. K)
The shoe (5) has been set by the factory to assure that the
blade is perpendicular to the shoe at 0° bevel setting.
If realignment is needed:
1. Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
2. Retract lower blade guard (7).
3. Loosen bevel adjustment lever (9). Place a square against
the blade (6) and shoe (5) to adjust the 90° setting.
4. Turn the calibration screw (22) so that the shoe will stop at
the proper angle.
5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the
squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
On/Off Switch (Fig. A)
Saw is equipped with a switch lock-off feature to prevent
unintentional operation.
1. To operate the tool, press in on the lock-off button (2) from
either side of the saw and hold it in as you depress the
trigger switch (1).
2. After you have depressed the trigger and the tool is
running, release the lock-off button. The tool will continue
to run as long as the trigger is depressed.
3. To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch.
NOTE: This tool has no provision for locking the tool on, and
the switch should never be locked on by any other means.

Automatic Electric Brake

Your saw is equipped with an electric blade brake which stops
the saw blade within 1–2 seconds of trigger release. This is
automatic and requires no adjustment.
