4. Press the Spindle Lock Button (31) and rotate the Blade (20) until the spindle locks
5. Use the supplied Hex Key (33) to remove the Blade Securing Bolt (21) and blade flange
Note: The mounting has a left hand thread, which requires the bolt to be rotated clockwise to
unscrew
6. Move the Blade to the left slightly to clear the mounting and remove from the Fixed Blade
Guard
7. Check the Blade that will be fitted to ensure it is not heavily worn, bent or damaged and no
teeth are missing
8. Check the rotational arrow marking of the Blade matches the Rotation Indicator (23) on the
Fixed Guard (24).
9. Check the blade mounting is clean and clear of swarf and dust and fit the Blade on to the
spindle
10. Press the Spindle Lock and re-fit the blade flange and Blade Securing Bolt. Tighten securely,
turning the Bolt anti-clockwise without over-tightening. Do not leave the Hex Key in the Bolt
after tightening
11. Rotate the Lower Blade Guard back over the Blade and re-fit the blade guard screw to the lower
guard operating arm (Image A & B)
12. Check the normal operation of the Lower Blade Guard by pressing the Release Lever and
moving the cutting head up and down with the Main Handle (1)
13. Re-connect to mains power and run the saw for a short time to make sure the Blade is rotating
and operating correctly
Bevel Angle Calibration
Checking the 0° angle
1. Loosen the Bevel Angle Locking Knob (27)
2. Position the cutting head with the Bevel Angle Indicator at 0° on the Bevel Angle Gauge (26)
3. Tighten the Bevel Angle Locking Knob
4. Lower the cutting head so the exposed blade is in the Blade Channel (13) and lock in this
position with the Latching Pin (30)
5. Place a 90° set square on the table with one short edge against the Mitre Table (16) and the other
short edge against the Blade (avoiding the TCT tips) (Image D)
6. If the Blade is not square with the Mitre Table, adjustment is required
Calibrating the 0° angle
The 0° bevel angle calibration bolt is located at the base of the cutter head (Image E). This allows for
calibration of the cutter head 0° bevel angle.
1. Turn the locking nut at the base of the calibration bolt anticlockwise to allow the calibration bolt
to be adjusted.
2. Turn the calibration bolt clockwise or anti clockwise using the Hex Key (33), until the Blade (20)
is square to the Mitre Table (16) when the cutter head is in the upright position resting on the
calibration bolt
3. Tighten the locking nut at the base of the calibration bolt to lock the bolt in position
Note: If when the Blade is square to the Mitre Table when also resting on the calibration bolt, the
Indicator (28) on the Bevel Gauge (26) does not read zero, loosen the screw on the Indicator, adjust
the indicator to zero and retighten the screw.
Checking the 45° bevel angle
1. Loosen the Bevel Angle Locking Knob (27)
2. Position the cutting head with the Bevel Angle Indicator at 45° on the Bevel Angle Gauge (26)
3. Tighten the Bevel Angle Locking Knob
4. Lower the cutting head so the exposed blade is in the Blade Channel (13) and lock in this
position with the Latching Pin (30)
5. Place a 45° engineers square on the table with one short edge against the Mitre Table (16) and
the long edge against the Blade (avoiding the TCT tips) (Image G)
6. If the Blade is not 45° with the Mitre Table, adjustment is required
Calibrating the 45° angle
The 45° bevel angle calibration bolt is located at the base of the cutter head (Image F). This allows
for calibration of the cutter head 45° bevel angle.
1. Turn the locking nut at the base of the calibration bolt anticlockwise to allow the calibration bolt
to be adjusted.
2. Turn the calibration bolt clockwise or anti clockwise using the Hex Key (33), until the Blade (20)
is 45 degrees to the Mitre Table (16) when the cutter head is in the 45° bevel position resting
on the calibration bolt
3. Tighten the locking nut at the base of the calibration bolt to lock the bolt in position
Note: If when the Blade is 45° to the Mitre Table when also resting on the calibration bolt, the
Indicator (28) on the Bevel Gauge (26) does not read 45°, recheck the calibration of the 0° bevel
angle
Mitre Angle 0°Adjustment
1. Loosen the Mitre Angle Locking Knob (18)
2. Rotate cutter head using the Main Handle (1) to the 0° position indicated by the Mitre Angle
8
Indicator (9) and Mitre Angle Gauge (11)
3. Retighten the Mitre Angle Locking Knob to lock the angle setting
4. Lower the cutting head so the exposed blade is in the Blade Channel (13) and lock in this
position with the Latching Pin (30)
5. Use a set square to check the 90° angle between the Fence (8) and the Blade (20) (Image H)
6. Loosen the two Fence Bolts (17) and adjust the Fence so it is exactly 90° using the set square
7. Re-tighten the two Fence Bolts
8. Re-check that the Mitre Angle Indicator is still at 0°. A very minor adjustment can be made of the
Mitre Angle Indicator by loosening the screw and making a small adjustment to the indicator
direction
9. Release the Latching Pin and allow the cutting head to return to its top position
Replacing the Table Insert
IMPORTANT: If the table insert is damaged or heavily worn, it must be replaced to ensure safe
operation of the tool.
To replace the Table Insert (14);
1. Remove the Fence Bolts (17) and angle the Fence (8) away from the Table Insert
2. Unscrew the Table Insert Screw (12) and remove the Table Insert
3. Clean the Blade Channel (13) and fit the new Table Insert.
4. Refit and tighten the Table Insert Screw
5. Refit and calibrate the Fence (see 'Mitre angle 0° adjustment')
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be
carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords
used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the tools service life. Clean the body of your tool with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If
available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol, petrol
or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the brush access plugs from both sides of the tool. Remove the
worn brushes and replaced with new. Replace brush access plugs. Alternatively, have the tool
serviced at an authorised service centre
