make the cut exerting only gentle pressure on the
downward stroke, letting the saw do the work.
6) Release the on/off switch. Allow the saw blade to stop
rotating BEFORE raising the blade out of the work-
piece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the
workpiece.
4. BEVEL CUT (SEE FIG. L)
A bevel cut is made at 0° mitre and any bevel angle in
the range of 0° to 45° left (the saw blade is facing to the
operator).
The saw can be moved from the normal 0° perpendicular
position to an angled position down to 45° from the
horizontal, on the left only.
The bevel lock is used to set the blade at the desired bevel
angle. To adjust the bevel angle, refer to BEVEL LOCK
section in the BEFORE OPERATION section.
After setting the required bevel angle, follow the procedures
of cross cut.
5. MITRE CUT (SEE FIG. M)
A mitre cut is made at 0° bevel and any mitre angle in the
range from 0° to 45° left or right (the saw blade is facing to
the operator).
To adjust the mitre angle, refer to MITRE TABLE LOCKS
section in the BEFORE OPERATION section.
After setting the required mitre angle, follow the procedures
of cross cut.
6. COMPOUND CUT (SEE FIG. N)
A compound mitre cut is a cut made using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used
for moldings, picture frames, and boxes with sloping sides.
Always make a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before
cutting into the good material.
Set the mitre and bevel angle following the steps in MITRE
TABLE LOCKS and BEVEL LOCK section,
After setting the required mitre and bevel angle, follow the
procedures of cross cut.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Remove the plug from
the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
When all the adjustments, settings or
maintenance have been done, make sure that
all keys and wrenches have been removed
and that all screws, bolts and other fittings
are securely tightened.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool.
Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power
EN
tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may
see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and
will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
1. PRECISION SETTING OF ANGLES (SEE
FIG. O1-O4)
While the machine has been factory set, it is advisable that
the 0° setting of the rotary table and the 90° perpendicular
setting of the tilt be checked, as these positions may have
moved in transit. (Ensure power is disconnected while
making these adjustments).
To confirm the 0° rotary table setting, set the rotary table
at 0° and tighten the mitre table locking lever. Check that
the angle between the straight guide and the blade is 90°
using a try square (d, not supplied) as shown in Fig. O1. If
the angle requires adjustment, loosen the locking screws (e)
on both sides for straight guide, and align the fence against
the try square.
Re-tighten the locking screws (e) for straight guide. (See fig.
O1, O2)
Similarly, check that the angle of the blade to the face of the
rotary table is 90
. If necessary, adjust the tilt angle of the
o
saw head at the 90º position: adjust the adjustment screw
(f) and set the saw head at 90
adjustment screw (g) which holds the pointer of the bevel
scale. Adjust the position of the pointer so that it accurately
indicates zero on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw (g).
(See fig. O3, O4)
2. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE (SEE FIG.
P1-P4)
1) Unplug the saw.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
always disconnect the plug from power
source before assembling parts, making
adjustments or changing blades.
2) Push down on saw arm and pull out the release knob to
release saw arm.
3) Raise saw arm to its full raised position. Be cautious
because saw arm is spring loaded to rise.
4) Push the lower blade lock lever outwards a little and
hold it, then rotate the lower blade guard counter-
clockwise to expose the upper locking screw (h) on the
guard mounting plate. Loosen the locking screw (h) but
do not unscrew it completely. The blade bolt will expose.
5) Press the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt
until the spindle locks.
. Then loosen the bevel scale
