Set Up; Setting The Table Square With The Blade; Setting The Fence Square With The Table; Operating Instructions - GMC SYT210 Instructions Manual

Set Up

Setting the table square with the
blade
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is removed
from the power point
2. Push the Saw Arm (19) down to its lowest
position and engage the Release Knob (20)
to hold the saw arm in the transport position
GB
(fig. J)
3. Loosen the mitre locks (7)
4. Rotate the Table (8) until the pointer is
positioned at 0°
5. Tighten the Mitre Locks (7)
6. Loosen the Bevel Lock (23) and set the Saw
Arm (19) at 0° bevel (the blade at 90° to the
mitre table). Tighten the Bevel Lock (23) (fig.
K)
7. Place a set square against the Table (8) and
the flat part of the blade (fig. L). NOTE: Make
sure that the square contacts the flat part of
the saw blade, not the teeth
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-
to-table alignment at several points
9. The edge of the set square and the saw blade
should be parallel
10. If the saw blade angles away from the set
square, adjust as follows:
11. Use an 8mm spanner or adjustable spanner
to loosen the lock nut securing the 0° Bevel
Adjustment Screw (25) (fig. M). Also, loosen
the Bevel Lock (23)
12. Adjust the 0° Bevel Adjustment Screw (25)
with the hex key (fig. N) to bring the saw blade
into alignment with the square
13. Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the
pointer of the Bevel Scale (12) and adjust the
position of the pointer so that it accurately
indicates zero on the scale (fig. O). Retighten
the screw
14. Retighten the Bevel Lock (23) and the lock nut
securing the 0° Bevel Adjustment Screw (25)
NOTE: The above procedure can also be used to
check the angle of the saw blade to the table at
45° bevel angle. The 45° Bevel Adjustment Screw
(24) is on the opposite side of the saw arm (fig. P).

Setting the fence square with the table

J
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is removed
from the power point
2. Push the Saw Arm (19) down to its lowest
position and engage the Release Knob (20) to
hold the saw arm in the transport position
3. Loosen the mitre locks (7)
K
4. Rotate the Table (8) until the pointer is
positioned at 0°
5. Tighten the Mitre Locks (7)
6. Using the 6mm hex key provided, loosen the
two screws securing the Fence (11) to the
base (Fig. Q)
7. Place a square against the fence (11) and
L
alongside the blade (Fig. R)
8. Adjust the Fence (11) until it is square with the
blade
9. Tighten the screws securing the Fence (11)
10. Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the
pointer of the Mitre Scale (10) and adjust it so
that it accurately indicates the zero position on
M
the mitre scale (Fig. S)
11. Retighten the screw securing the mitre scale
pointer

Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT: When using this tool, always wear all the safety
equipment required. See 'Safety' for details.

Turning on and off

1. To turn the saw on, depress and hold the On/
Off Trigger Switch (17) (fig. T)
2. To switch the saw off, release the on/off trigger
switch

Using the laser guide system

O
The laser line generator emits an intense narrow beam of pure red
light to guide you as you cut. It improves operator cutting vision,
enables faster set-up, increases accuracy and improves safety.
WARNING
• Do not stare directly at the laser beam
• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the
P
workpiece
• Do not aim the beam at reflective surfaces as the reflective
surface could direct the beam back at the operator
• Always remember to switch off the Laser Light On/Off Switch
(16) after finishing a job. Only turn the laser beam on when the
workpiece is on the mitre saw table
