that the inner blade washer sits behind the blade
(fig. W).
CAUTION. To ensure correct blade rotation, always install
the blade with the blade teeth and the arrow printed on
the side of the blade pointing down. The direction of
blade rotation is also stamped with an arrow on the
upper blade guard.
12. Replace the outer blade washer.
13. Depress the spindle lock button (26) and replace the
flat washer and blade bolt.
14. Use the 6mm hex key to tighten the blade bolt
securely (tighten in an anti-clockwise direction).
15. Lower the blade guard, hold the rotating lower blade
guard (12) and blade bolt cover (14) in position and
tighten the fixing screw to secure the blade bolt cover
in position.
16. Replace the guard retraction arm (6) and secure onto
the rotating blade guard (5).
17. Check that the blade guard operates correctly and
covers the blade as the saw arm is lowered.
18. Connect the saw to the power supply and run the
blade to make certain that it is operating correctly.
Operation
Cross cut
A crosscut is made by cutting
across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90º crosscut is
made with the mitre table set
at 0º. Mitre crosscuts are made
with the table set at some
angle other than zero (fig. X).
1. Pull on the release knob
(2) and lift the saw arm (1) to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre locks (15).
3. Rotate the mitre table (12) until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle.
4. Retighten the mitre locks
(15) (fig. Y).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten
the mitre locks before making
a cut. Failure to do so could
result in the table moving
during the cut and cause
serious personal injury.
5. Place the workpiece flat
on the table with one
edge securely against the fence (11). If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence (11).
If the concave side is placed against the fence, the
board could break and jam the blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite
end of the timber with side support bars, a roller stand
or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
7. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
8. Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and squeeze
the switch trigger (16). Allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
9. Press the release latch (17) and slowly lower the blade
into and through the workpiece.
10. Release the switch trigger (16) and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out
of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before
removing the workpiece.
Bevel cut
A bevel cut is made by
cutting across the grain of
the workpiece with the blade
angled to the fence and
mitre table. The mitre table
is set at the zero degree
position and the blade set at
an angle between
0º and 45º (fig. Z).
