MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-
ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.

1.
To unlock the swivel base push the lever
D
to the left
as shown.
2.
Refer to the graduated scale

at the base of the
saw head to set the blade to the required angle.

ADJUSTING THE SWIVEL BASE
To reset the overload protection switch after it has been tripped proceed as follows:
A
1.
Remove the four screws
A
located on the back of
the electrical box using a 3 mm Allen key, then re-
move the cover.
2.
Press on the button
B
to reset the overload protec-
tion switch. Re-install the box cover before to restart
the machine.
Note: If after resetting the overload protector the
machine still does not work, check all three fuses C
located inside the electrical box and replace them
if needed with the same amperage.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The magnetic safety switch on this machine is equipped with an overload protection feature. To prevent an elec-
trical overload from damaging the motor, in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal
overload protector will automatically be tripped, thereby cutting off power to the motor.
Common causes of such overloads:
• Overworking the motor by forcing the saw, particularly with thicker denser material, thereby causing an in-
crease in power consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
• An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire, which can also cause an in-
crease in amperage draw. If an electric extension cord must be used, follow the instructions and refer to the
chart in the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
• Overworked circuit caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure
thecircuit being used is capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine as well as any other elec-
trical devices operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
