5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! As with all power tools, there are potential hazards involved in the use of this saw. It is, therefore, vital to ensure that you
have read and understood all the safety instructions in Section 1.
Familiarise yourself again with the specific saw safety rules for each step of the following operation. Failure to do so could cause
serious damage and/or personal injury and may invalidate your warranty. Disconnect the saw from the mains power before making
any adjustments or removing/fitting the blade. Ensure that all screws and nuts are secure and that the blade is in good condition and
correctly fitted. ALWAYS wear approved safety eye protection.
5.1.
Set the required table angle and blade angle (paras. 4.1. & 4.2.). Leave blade in raised position.
5.2.
Secure the workpiece against the fence (fig. 1.12) with the clamp (fig. 1.11).
DANGER! If holding the workpiece by hand take extreme care and ensure hand is kept away from the blade.
5.3.
When you have completed the cut, the waste off-cut will either remain on the saw table and workpiece supports or fall off, depending
s
upon size. Before starting, therefore, consider how you will handle the off-cut.
5.4.
Plug the saw into the mains power supply.
5.5.
Hold the saw handle and squeeze the switch trigger. When the blade has reached maximum speed press the lock lever (fig. 1. 2) and
bring the blade down onto the workpiece.
5.6.
Slowly move the blade down through the workpiece. Do not try to force the blade through the wood, use light pressure.
5.7.
When the cut is complete allow the blade to rise to the upper position and release the switch to turn off the saw.
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to pick up an off-cut or to remove the clamped workpiece before the saw blade has completely stopped.
