Changing the blade (Fig.7)
Always wear sturdy gloves when handling or changing blades as
they can be very sharp.
Only use sharp and undamaged saw blades. Cracked or distorted
saw blades must be replaced immediately.
1.
Place the saw on its side on a
flat surface.
2.
Rotate the saw blade by hand
whilst depressing the spindle
lock button until the blade locks.
Whilst depressing the spindle
lock button, turn the blade bolt
anti-clockwise using the wrench
provided.
3.
Remove the outer blade flange
and the blade bolt. Raise the
lower blade guard using the
blade guard lever. Remove the
saw blade from the inner flange
and pull it out.
4.
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.
5.
Mount the new saw blade onto
the spindle and against the
inner flange.
6.
Replace the outer flange and tighten the blade bolt.
The direction in which the blade rotates has to be the same as the
direction of the arrow marked on the upper blade guard.
Ensure that the spindle lock button is released.
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.
Plug the machine into a power supply and run the saw under no
load to check that it runs smoothly before using it to cut any
material.

Operation for working
a. Making a Cut
Mark the line of cut on the work piece.
Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.
When making 90° cuts, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on
the base of the saw.
When making 45° bevel cuts, align your line of cut with the inner blade guide
notch on the base of the saw.
Rest the front edge of the base on the work-piece. Make sure the power cord is
out of the way of saw and not in the line of cut.
Start the motor by depressing the lock-off button and squeezing the trigger
switch.
NOTE: Always let the blade reach full speed before you begin to cut into the
work-piece.
Slowly push the saw forward using both hands. Apply downward pressure to keep
the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.
When making a cut always use steady, even pressure. Forcing the saw causes
