10. BASE PLATE (See Fig. H1-H3)
BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (7) enables bevel
cutting.
The base plate (7) must always be held firmly against the
materials being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade
jumping or blade breakage.
BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Use a hex key (5). Loosen the two bolts securing the base
plate. For preset angles rotate so the lines of the angle on
the base plate (7) and angle plate (8) superposition at the
desired angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°). For other mitre angles,
rotate to your desired angle (use a protractor scale).
Following one of the above procedures, hold the base
plate in position and firmly tighten the bolts to clamp
the base plate at that angle. Finally, check the angle
and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped. The angle
markings on the base plate are accurate for most general
purposes but it is recommended for accurate work to set
the angle with a protractor and make a test cut on other
material.
11. VACUUM ADAPTER (SEE FIG. I)
Mount the vaccum adapter into the opening of the
base plate. Make sure that the plastic tip of the vacuum
connection engages into the corresponding opening on
the housing as shown in the figure.Directly connect a
suitable vacuum hose to the adapter. Clean the vacuum
adapter regularly to ensure optimum dust extraction. The
vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material to be
worked. Remove the vacuum adapter when not use.
Use of vacuum extraction does not negate the need
to wear personal protective equipment, especially
respiratory protective equipment."
