ASSEMBLY

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine
from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF
position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

4. Press down the operating handle 2 and pull out the lock down pin
5. Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to its full height.
Bench Mounting (Fig. C)
1. Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Two different sized
35
holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not
necessary to use both. Bolts with a diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length is suggested.
Always mount your saw firmly 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.
2. 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 flush 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.
3. 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 firm on the mounting surface.
Storing the Fastener Tools (Fig. D)
The following tools are supplied with the machine:
1 T30 star wrench 36
1 T40 star wrench 37
Take care to store the tools each time after they have been used in assembly or adjustment.
Mounting the Upper Blade Guard (Fig. E)
The upper blade guard 21 is designed to be quickly and easily attached to the riving knife
once the machine has been set up for saw bench mode.
1. Loosen the bolt 38 and leave nut 39
2. Holding the guard vertically, align the slot in the rear of the guard with the riving knife.
3. Lower the guard over the riving knife 20
the recess.
4. Turn the guard into horizontal position, which will lock the guard to the riving knife.
5. Insert bolt 38 into the hole and tighten with special torx wrench.
