Adjusting the fence (fig. H1 & H2)

The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing

the saw to bevel to a full 50° both left and right. To adjust the left fence (7):

• Loosen the plastic knob (23) and slide the fence to the left.

• Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance.

Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide

maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and down

movement of the arm.

• Tighten the knob securely.

To adjust the right fence (3):

• Loosen the plastic knob (19) and slide the fence to the right.

• Proceed as for adjusting the left fence.

The guide grooves (56) can become clogged with sawdust. Use

a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide grooves.

Overriding the right bevel lock (fig. A2)

The right bevel is locked to facilitate the setting of the saw blade in the

vertical position.

• To override the right bevel lock, pull out the override pin (29) and turn it

half a turn to keep it in this position.

• To discontinue the override, turn the pin half a turn back in its original

position. The lock re-engages as soon as the saw blade reaches

vertical position.

Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. A1, A2 & I1 - I4)

Checking and adjusting the left bevel angle

• Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (23) and slide the upper part

of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go.

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (17) and with the intermediate bevel

position stop (57) turned aside move the saw arm to the left until the

angle position stop (58) rests against the bevel position adjustment

stop (18). This is the 45° bevel position.

If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Turn the bevel position adjustment stop screw in or out as necessary

until the pointer (54) indicates 45° with the angle position stop resting

against the bevel position adjustment stop.

• To achieve a 50° bevel, loosen the screw on the angle position stop and

slide the stop out of the way to allow the saw arm to move as necessary.

Checking and adjusting the right bevel angle

• Loosen the right side fence clamping knob (19) and slide the upper

part of the right side fence to the right as far as it will go.

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (17), pull out the override pin (26) and

with the intermediate bevel position stop (59) turned aside move the

saw arm to the right until the angle position stop (60) rests against the

bevel position adjustment stop (26). This is the 45° bevel position.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as for adjusting the left bevel angle.

Checking and adjusting the intermediate bevel angle

(fig. A1, A2, J1 & J2)

The intermediate bevel angle is preset at 33.85°, enabling a quick setting

for the cutting of crown molding. To check and adjust the left intermediate

bevel angle:

• Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (23) and slide the upper part

of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go.

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (17) and with the intermediate bevel

position stop (57) turned into place move the saw arm to the left until

the bevel position adjustment stop (61) rests on the intermediate bevel

position stop. This is the 33.85° bevel position.

If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Turn the bevel position adjustment stopscrew in or out as necessary

until the pointer (54) indicates 33.85° with the bevel position

adjustment stop resting on the intermediate bevel position stop.

To check and adjust the right intermediate bevel angle:

• Loosen the right side fence clamping knob (19) and slide the upper

part of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go.

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (17) and with the intermediate bevel

position, pull out the override pin (26) and with the intermediate bevel

position stop (59) turned into place move the saw arm to the right until

the bevel position adjustment stop (62) rests on the intermediate bevel

position stop. This is the 33.85° bevel position.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as for adjusting the left intermediate

bevel angle.

Instructions for use

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable

regulations.

The attention of UK users is drawn to the “woodworking machines

regulations 1974“ and any subsequent amendments.

Prior to operation:

• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.

The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the

saw blade.

• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.

• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.

• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.

• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.

• Secure the workpiece.

• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, these

operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only. The same guide-

lines apply to the other materials. Do not cut ferrous (iron and steel)

materials or masonry with this saw! Do not use any abrasive discs!

• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf

slot is wider than 10 mm.

Switching on and off (fig. L)

• To switch the tool on, depress the trigger switch (16).

• To stop the tool, release the switch.

• There is no provision for locking the switch on, but a hole (13) is

provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the tool off.

Vertical straight cross cut (fig. A1, A2 & L)

• Loosen the mitre clamp knob (4) and squeeze the mitre latch (5)

upwards.

• Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the mitre clamp knob.

• Place the wood to be cut against the fence (3 & 7).

• Take hold of the operating handle (1) and depress the head lock up

release lever (10) to release the head. Press the trigger switch (17) to

start the motor.

• Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and

enter the plastic kerf plate (46).

• After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the saw blade

to come to a complete standstill before returning the head to its upper

rest position.

Vertical mitre cross-cut (fig. M)

• Loosen the mitre clamp knob and squeeze the mitre latch upwards.

Move the head left or right to the required angle.

• The mitre latch will automatically locate at 10°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62°

and 45°.
