the blade, release the trigger.
8. When the cut is completed, raise the
blade assembly, release the trigger, wait
for the Blade to stop turning, release the
Clamp and remove the work material from
the saw.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use.
Clean, then store the tool indoors out of
children’s reach.
MAINTENANCE ET ENTRETIEN
Procedures not
specifically explained in
this manual must be
performed only by a
qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION:
Turn the Power Switch of the
tool off and unplug the tool
from its electrical outlet
before performing any
procedure in this section.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM
TOOL
FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment.
If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have
the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• cracked or broken parts,
• damaged electrical wiring, and
• any other condition that may affect its
safe operation.
2. AFTER USE, wipe external surfaces
of the tool with clean cloth.
Checking and Calibrating the Fence
The Fence holds the workpiece in a fixed
position while the Table and or the blade
assembly are adjusted in a miter or bevel angle.
To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be
perpendicular (at a 90ºangle) to the Saw Blade.
1. Before beginning work, make a test cut on
scrap material with the Table set at 90º
2. Check the cut with an accurate square.
You can also reverse the two pieces, hold
the cut ends together, and hold a good
straight edge along the side of the pieces.
3. If either test reveals that the cut is not a
true 90ºangle, adjust the Fence before
beginning work.
If Fence needs adjustment:
1. First unplug the tool.
2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it in
place using the Locking Pin.
3. Lay a carpenter’s square on the table with
one edge along the blade and the other
along the Fence. Any inaccuracy should be
visible. NOTE: The square must contact
the surface of the blade, not the teeth, for
an accurate reading.
4. The Fence is held in place with bolts at
each end. Loosen the bolts slightly, and
gently tap the Fence into position using a
soft mallet. Retighten the bolts and make
another test cut. Repeat the process until
the Fence is adjusted accurately.
5. Once the Fence is accurately adjusted,
tighten the bolts firmly in place. Recheck
one last time, then proceed to work.
