3. Adjust the parallel fence to the
required width and secure it in
position with the parallel fence
locking knob (8).
4. Ensure that the parallel fence
rests against the workpiece
along its entire length to give a
consistent parallel cut (Fig. S).
Changing the blade
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before making any
adjustments.
1. Place saw on its side on a flat surface.
2. Rotate the saw blade by hand whilst depressing the
spindle lock lever (21) until the blade locks (Fig. T).
3. Whilst depressing the spindle lock lever, turn the blade
bolt anti-clockwise using the wrench provided (Fig. U).
4. Remove the outer blade flange and the blade bolt.
5. Raise the lower blade guard (15).
6. Remove the saw blade from
the inner flange and pull it
out (Fig. V).
7. Clean the saw blade flanges
thoroughly before mounting
the new saw blade. Wipe a
drop of oil onto the inner and
outer flange where they will
touch the blade.
8. Mount the new saw blade onto
the spindle and against the
inner flange.
9. Replace the outer flange and
tighten the blade bolt (Fig. W).
WARNING. The direction in
which the blade rotates has
to be the same as the direction
of the arrow marked on the
housing (26).
10. Ensure that the spindle lock lever (21) is released.
11. Before using the saw again, check that the safety
devices are in good working order.
IMPORTANT. After replacing the saw blade, make sure that
the saw blade runs freely by turning the blade by hand.
12. Plug the machine into a power socket and run the saw
under no load to check that it runs smoothly before
using it to cut any material.
Maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making any
adjustments or maintenance procedures.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
