4.2.3.
Slide the new blade into position ensuring the correct rotational alignment.
4.2.4.
Replace outer flange and socket head cap screw. Apply spindle lock and fully tighten the screw to ensure firm location of the blade.

PreParaTion
4.3.1.
Check the guard for proper closing before each use. do noT operate the saw if the guard does not move freely and close instantly.
never clamp or tie the guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped the guard may be bent. Raise the guard using
the blade guard lever (fig.1) and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths
of cut.
4.3.2.
Check the operation of the guard spring. If the guard and spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build up of debris.
4.3.3.
The guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts". Raise the guard using the lever
(fig.1) and as soon as the blade enters the material the guard must be released. For all other sawing the guard should operate
automatically.
warninG! If the unit is accidentally knocked or dropped check that the blade guard still operates easily and smoothly. If the blade guard
‰
is damaged stop using the saw until the guard is repaired or replaced.

4.4.1.
To adjust the parallel guide (fig.2) loosen clamp screw (fig.2) and slide the guide to the required distance. When in position re-
tighten the clamp screw. noTe: The slide is stamped at 5 mm intervals.
4.4.2.
To set the bevel angle loosen the bevel clamp screw (fig.2) and tilt the saw to the required angle as indicated by the marking stamped
on the angle gauge (fig.2). When in position re-tighten the clamp screw.
4.4.3.
To adjust the cutting depth loosen the depth screw (fig.3) and rotate the unit until the blade is at the required depth as indicated
by the marking stamped on the depth gauge (fig.3). When the correct depth has been set re-tighten the clamp screw.
4.4.4.
To enable vacuum extraction (vacuum and fittings not supplied) connect the extrication unit to the nozzle (fig.1).

SawinG
4.5.1.
never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support
the work properly to to minimize body exposure, blade binding or loss of control.
4.5.2.
Check that the saw is correctly set up and that all handles and screws are tightened before starting the saw and that the guard
operates correctly.
4.5.3.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
danGer Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If
▲
both hands are holding the saw they cannot be cut by the blade.
do noT reach underneath the workpiece as the guard cannot protect you from below the workpiece.

4.5.4.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces only when performing a cutting operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or it's own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also mkae exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
4.5.5.
Place the front of the soleplate on the workpiece and position the motor side of the saw over the larger section of the item that is not
be sawn off.
4.5.6.
For vertical cuts follow the 0
(fig.4).
4.5.7.
Press the safety lock-off button (fig.1) and the trigger to start the saw.
do noT engage the blade to the workpiece until it is up to speed.

4.5.8.
The laser (fig.1) comes on when the motor starts. The laser beam will shine in front of the saw blade and over the workpiece to
enable the user to follow the saw cut line (fig.4).
4.5.9.
Holding the saw by the handle and support grip, move the saw forward to engage with the workpiece and saw in a straight line.
The blade guard will open when the blade makes contact with the workpiece.
do noT force the saw sideways.

4.5.10.
If the blade jams in the workpiece release the trigger immediately and withdraw it from the item once the blade is stationary.
4.5.11.
Check that the blade guard closes when the saw is removed from the workpiece.
4.5.12.
Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on a bench or floor. An unprotected coasting blade
will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch
is released.
