4. ASSEMBLY
4.1.
Secure the saw to a flat, stable surface by inserting screws through the holes drilled in the machine's feet. The area should be well lit and
have sufficient room to use the machine safely.
4.2.
Unless using with a dust extractor, fit the dust bag (fig.1.33) onto the dust port (fig.1.23). If using dust extraction, use a suitable adaptor to
couple the dust port and hose.
5. OPERATION
5.1.
Blade Lock
5.1.1. To raise the blade; pull the release knob (fig.2) and lift the blade.
5.1.2. To lower, pull the guard release lever, which will allow the blade to be lowered (fig.2)
5.1.3. The blade assembly may be locked down by pushing the release knob in fully.
The saw may only be carried with the blade locked down.

5.2.
Depth Stop
5.2.1. To activate, swing the depth stop over so the setting screw rests on it (fig.3).
5.2.2. Adjust the setting screw until the required cutting depth is achieved an tighten the lock nut to preserve that setting.
5.2.3. To make a full depth cut without loosing the depth setting, push the depth stop across so the setting screw passes through it.

5.3.
Angle Adjustment
5.3.1. Mitre Angle (fig.4): The mitre angle can be set by loosening the mitre angle lock.
5.3.2. Adjust the angle by depressing the mitre angle stop to release the detent.
5.3.3. There are detents set at: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45° and the stop can be set at these angles, applying the lock to secure.
5.3.4. The mitre angle can be set at any other angle by reading the angle from the mitre scale and locking in position (fig.5).
5.3.5
Vertical Angle (fig.4): To adjust the vertical cutting angle, loosen the vertical angle lock and move the head to the required angle,
using the vertical angle scale for guidance.
5.3.6. To check the vertical angle setting, lower and lock the blade as in section 5.1. Ensure that the pointer is set to zero.
5.3.7. Place a square (not supplied) against the blade to determine if the blade is perpendicular to the table (fig.6).
5.3.8. If not perpendicular, tilt the head over to reveal the adjuster (fig.7).
5.3.9. Loosen the adjuster lock nut and, using a hex key, either raise or lower the adjuster to bring the blade square.
5.3.10. When the blade is true, tighten the lock nut.
5.3.11. If necessary, loosen the screw securing the pointer and move the pointer to 0°. Tighten the securing screw
