● Release the rail lock knob (18), and push the saw head back to lock
it in the rear position.
● Lock the table (19) into highest position.
● Press down the operating handle (2) and pull out the lock down pin (17),
as shown.
● Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to
its full height.
Bench mounting (fi g. C)
● Holes (36) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different
sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both.
Always mount your saw fi rmly to prevent movement. To enhance the
portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or thicker
plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved
to other job sites and reclamped.
● When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the
mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood.
The plywood must sit fl ush on the work support. When clamping the
saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point
will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
● To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is
not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface,
place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is fi rm
on the mounting surface.
Storing the fastener tools (fi g. D)
The following tools are supplied with the machine:
1 Allen key 5 mm (37)
1 Allen key 6 mm (38)
● Take care to store the tools each time after they have been used in
assembly or adjustment.
Assembly
@
Prior to assembly always unplug the tool.
Mounting the upper blade guard (fi g. E)
The upper blade guard (20) is designed to be quickly and easily
attached to the riving knife (19) once the machine has been set up for
saw bench mode.
● Loosen the wingnut (39).
● Holding the guard vertically, align the slot in the rear of the guard with
the riving knife.
● Lower the guard over the riving knife (19), making sure that the shaft
of the bolt enters the recess.
● Turn the guard into horizontal position, which will lock the guard to
the riving knife by the locating screw (40).
● Tighten the wingnut.
Mounting the saw blade (fi g. D & F1 - F4)
The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be
dangerous.
In order to fi t a new saw blade it is necessary to adjust the table into
highest position and raise the saw head to its highest position.
● Insert the Allen key (37) through the hole (42) in the casing into the
spindle end (fi g. F1). Place the Allen key (38) into the blade locking
screw (43) (fi g. F2).
● The blade locking screw has a left-handed thread, therefore holding
the Allen key fi rmly, turn the spanner clockwise to loosen.
32
● Depress the head lock up release lever (3) to release the lower
guard (5 & 23), then raise the lower guard as far as possible (fi g. F3).
● Remove the blade locking screw (43) and the outside arbor collar (44)
(fi g. F4).
● Make sure the inner fl ange and both faces of the blade are clean and
free of dust.
● Install the saw blade (45) onto the shoulder (46) provided on the
inside arbor collar (47), making sure that the teeth at the bottom
edge of the blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away from
the operator).
● Carefully ease the blade into position and release the lower blade
guard.
● Replace the outer arbor collar.
● Tighten the blade locking screw (43) by turning counter-clockwise
while holding the Allen key steady with your other hand.
● Place the Allen keys in their storage position (fi g. D).
@
After mounting or replacing the blade, always check that the
blade is fully covered by the guard.
Adjustment
@
Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.
Adjusting the saw blade (fi g. F2)
If the saw blade is wobbling during start up and run down, then adjust as
follows.
● Loosen the screw for the arbor collar (44) and rotate the blade (45) a
quarter turn.
● Retighten the screw and check to see if the blade has any wobble.
● Repeat these steps until the blade wobble has been eliminated.
Adjustments for mitre saw mode
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment
due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the
steps below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should
remain accurate.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the fence (fi g. G1 - G4)
● Release the mitre lever (10) and depress the mitre latch (9) to
release the mitre arm (11).
● Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.
Do not tighten the lever.
● Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (48).
● Place a square (49) against the left side (13) of the fence and blade (45)
(fi g. G3).
@
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
● If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
● Loosen the screws (50) and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left
or right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the
square.
● Retighten the screws (50). Pay no attention to the reading of the
mitre pointer at this point.
Adjusting the mitre pointer (fi g. G1, G2 & H)
● Release the mitre lever (10) and depress the mitre latch (9) to
release the mitre arm (11).
● Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (51) to the zero position,
as shown in fi g. H.
● With the mitre lever loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as
you rotate the mitre arm past zero.
