Assembly
Warning!
Before assembly, make sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged.
Note:
This tool is accurately adjusted before shipping from
the factory. Check the following accuracy and readjust them if
necessary in order to obtain the best results in operation
Bench mounting (Fig.1, Fig.2)
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the lowered
position by the stopper pin (7). Pull the stopper pin (7) and
rotate it 90º, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Alternatively, the tool can be bolted with four bolts (26) (not
provided) to a level and stable surface using the bolt holes
(27) provided in the tools base. This will help prevent tipping
and possible injury.
Warning!
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking the tools function.
Retractable
blade guard (Fig.3, Fig.4)
When lowering the handle, the Retractable blade guard (15)
rises automatically. the blade guard (15) returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
Warning!
Never alter or remove the blade guard or the spring
attached to the guard.
Warning!
For your personal safety, always maintain the blade
guard in good condition. Any irregularities in the blade guard
should be corrected immediately. Check the spring loaded re-
turn action of the guard. Never use the tool if the blade guard
or spring is damaged, faulty or removed. Doing so is highly
dangerous and can cause serious personal injury.
If the transparent blade guard (15) becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or work piece
are no longer visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard
carefully with a damp cloth.
Warning!
Do not use solvents or any petroleum based clean-
ers on the plastic guard.
If the blade guard (15) is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use a star-head screwdriver to loosen
the screw (28) holding the centre cover. Loosen the screw (29)
by turning it counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and
Centre cover.
With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning is
complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not
remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes discol-
oured through age or UV light exposure, contact a service
centre for a new guard. Do not alter or remove guard.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity (Fig.5, Fig.6)
Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted. This tool
is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for
a 216mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
u
Unplug the tool.
u
Push the carriage toward the guide fence (9) fully and
lower the handle completely.
u
Adjust the cutting depth limiter (23) until the periphery of
blade (30) extends slightly below the top surface of the
turn table (18).
u
With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base.
u
Re-adjust slightly if necessary.
Caution! After
installing a new blade, always be sure that
the blade does not contact any part of the lower base when
the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with the tool
unplugged.
Adjusting the stopper arm (Fig.7)
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily adjusted
with the stopper arm (31).
u
Move the stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as
shown (Fig.7) .
u
Adjust it to position A for full cutting.
u
Adjust the cutting depth limter (23) so that the blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.
u
Adjust it to position B for dado cutting .
u
Adjust the cutting depth limter (23) so that the blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle.
Adjusting the mitre angle (Fig.8)
u
Loosen the grip (21) by turning counterclockwise.
u
When you have moved the grip (21) to the position where
the pointer (32) points to the desired angle on the mitre
scale (33), tighten the grip clockwise.
u
The height adjustable foot (22) is to help keep the tool in
balance. After each mitre angle adjustment, you should
turn knob on the foot clockwise or counterclockwise until
its bottom touches the ground.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig.9, Fig10)
When tilting the carriage to the left, loosen the lever (10) at the
rear of the tool counterclockwise. Unlock the arm by pushing
the handle somewhat strongly in the direction that you intend
to tilt the saw blade.
u
Tilt the saw blade until the pointer (34) points to the
desired angle on the bevel scale (35).
u
Tighten the lever (10) clockwise firmly to secure the arm
(36).
Warning:
When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the
handle fully. After changing the bevel angle, always secure the
arm by tightening the lever clockwise.
