(Original instructions)

Your saw is equipped with a battery fault feature. The work

light begins to ash when the battery is near the end of its

useful charge, or when the battery is too hot. Charge the bat-

tery prior to continuing cutting applications. Refer to charging

procedure under Important safety instructions for battery

packs for battery charging instructions.

Mitre control (Fig. J)

The mitre lock knob (5) and mitre latch button (6) allow you

to mitre your saw to 47° right and 47° left. The mitre latch will

automatically locate at 0˚, 15˚, 22.5˚, 31.6˚ and 45˚ both left

and right. To mitre the saw, unlock the mitre lock mechanism

by turning the mitre lock knob (5) anti clockwise to unlock and

clockwise to lock. Pull the mitre latch button (6) up, and set

the mitre angle desired on the mitre scale (8). Lock the mitre

lock knob (5) by turning clockwise.

Bevel Lock Knob (Fig. K)

The bevel lock allows you to bevel the saw 48° to the left.

To adjust the bevel setting, turn the bevel lock knob (12)

counterclockwise to loosen. To tighten, turn the bevel lock

knob clockwise.

Caution! Pinch hazard. Be sure to tighten bevel lock knob

before adjusting overrides.

Trigger Switch (Fig. L)

To turn the saw on, push the lock-off lever (17) to the left,

then depress the trigger switch (1). The saw will run while

the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full

operating speed before making the cut. To turn the saw off,

release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before raising the

saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A

hole (1a) is provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to

lock the switch off.

Your saw is not equipped with an automatic electric blade

brake, but the saw blade should stop within 5 seconds of trig-

ger release. This is not adjustable. If the stop time repeatedly

exceeds 5 seconds, have the tool serviced by an authorised

Stanley FatMax service centre.

Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from

the kerf.

Dust Extraction (Fig. M)

Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn

tool off and remove the battery pack before transporting,

making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or

accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Your saw has a built-in dust port (14) that allows either the

supplied dust bag (35) or a shop vacuum system to be

connected.

To attach the dust bag

u Fit the dust bag (35) to the dust port (14) as shown in

Figure M.

u A vacuum tube (38 - not provided) can be tted to the dust

port (14) rather than the dust bag (35). This can be done

by tting your vacuum tube (38) in place of the dust bag

(35), see gure M.

u Use the velcro strap (13a) to hold your vacuum tube (38)

clear from the sliding rails (13) whilst operating the saw.

Note: The velcro strap (13a) is not a carrying handle and

should not be used to move or transport the saw.

To empty the dust bag

uRemove dust bag (35) from the saw and gently shake or

tap the dust bag to empty.

u Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port (14).

You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the

bag. This will not affect cutting performance but will reduce

the saw's dust collection efciency. To restore your saw's dust

collection efciency, depress the spring inside the dust bag

when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the trash

can or dust receptacle.

Warning! Never operate this saw unless the dust bag is in

place. Wood dust may create a breathing hazard.

Cutting with your saw

If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is

pushed back as far as possible and the rail lock screw (18) is

tightened. This will prevent the saw from sliding along its rails

as the workpiece is engaged.

Note: DO NOT CUT FERROUS METALS OR MASONRY

WITH THIS SAW (NON FERROUS METALS CAN BE CUT

BY THIS SAW. Do not use any abrasive blades.

Note: Refer to guard actuation and visibility in the adjustments

section for important information about the lower guard before

cutting.

Crosscuts (g. N)

A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any

angle. A straight crosscut is made with the mitre arm at the

zero degree position. Set and lock the mitre arm at zero, hold

the wood rmly on the table and against the fence. With the

rail lock screw (18) tightened, turn on the saw by squeezing

the trigger switch (1).

When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower

the arm smoothly and slowly to cut through the wood. Let the

blade come to a full stop before raising arm.

When cutting anything larger than a 2 x 4 (51 x 102), use an

out-down-back motion with the rail lock screw (18) loosened.

Pull the saw out, toward you, lower the saw head down toward

the work piece, and slowly push the saw back to complete the

cut. Do not allow the saw blade to contact the top of the work

piece while pulling out. The saw may run toward you, possibly

causing personal injury or damage to the work piece.
