English
continuous operation. The edge of the anti-splinter guard
now corresponds exactly to the cutting edge of the blade.
To trim the anti-splinter guard on the other side of the guide
rail, remove the saw from the rail and rotate the rail 180°. Repeat
steps 1 through 4.
nOTE: If desired, the splinter guard can be bevelled to 45°, then
repeat steps 1 through 4. This allows one side of the rail for
cutting parallel cuts and the other side of the rail is tuned in for
45° bevel cuts (Fig. H).
nOTE: If the anti-splinter guard is trimmed for parallel cutting
on both sides, then when the unit is bevelled, the blade will not
run true to the edge of the anti-splinter guard. This is because
the pivot point of the unit bevel is not stationary and the blade
moves out when the unit is bevelled.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS secure the
guide rail with a clamp.
Speed Adjustment (Fig. A)
The speed can be regulated between 2500 and 4200 rpm using
the speed wheel 19 . This enables you to optimise the cutting
speed to suit the material. Refer to the following chart for type
of material and speed range.
Type of Material to be Cut
Solid wood (hard, soft)
Chipboards
Laminated wood, blockboards, veneered and coated boards
Paper and carton

The Dust Extraction Adaptor allows you to connect the tool to
an external dust extractor, either using the AirLock™ system
(DWV9000-XJ), or a standard 35 mm dust extractor fitment.
