Removing the blade
Unplug the saw.
u
Raise the arm to the upper position and push the blade
u
guard (14) up as far as possible.
Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw (13c) until
u
the bracket can be raised far enough to access the blade
screw (13a). Lower guard will remain raised due to the
position of the guard bracket screw as shown in Figure I.
Depress the spindle lock button (31) while carefully
u
rotating the saw blade by hand until the lock engages as
shown in Figure J.
Keeping the button depressed, use the other hand and the
u
blade change tool provided (30) to loosen the blade screw
(13a). (Turn clockwise, left-hand threads.)
Remove the blade screw (13a), outer clamp washer
u
(13d), saw blade (13) and blade adapter (13e), if used.
The inner clamp washer (13f) may be left on the spindle.
Installing a blade
Unplug the saw.
u
With the arm raised, the guard held open and the guard
u
bracket raised, place the blade on the spindle, onto the
blade adapter and against the inner blade clamp with the
teeth at the bottom of the blade pointing toward the back
of the saw.
Assemble the outer clamp washer onto the spindle.
u
Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock,
u
tighten the screw firmly with wrench provided (turn
counterclockwise, left-hand threads).
Adjusting the mitre angle (Fig. L)
Loosen the mitre lock knob (9) by turning counterclockwise.
u
Use the mitre lock release (32) to move the rotary table
u
(11) to the position where the mitre angle indicator (7)
points to the desired angle on the mitre angle scale (26),
tighten the grip clockwise.
The adjustable support foot (24) is to help keep the tool in
u
balance. After each mitre angle adjustment, you should
turn knob on the foot clockwise or counterclockwise until
its bottom touches the ground. There are two positions
depending on the depth of your work bench.
Cutting depth
If you want to cut a groove you can set the depth of cut using
the depth of cut screw (29) or the blade.
Turn the depth of cut screw (29) and fix with the counter nut.
u
Fence adjustment
Before bevel cutting, make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the rear fence (12) when lowering and raising the
handle fully at any position and pulling or pushing the carriage
all the way at the lowest position. Before operating the tool,
14
(Original instructions)
make sure that the sliding fence is secured by the slide fence
locking screw (35) firmly.
Warning! When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding fence
to the left and secure. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a
part of the tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator.
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned central. However, when performing left
bevel cuts, set it to the left position if the tool head contacts it.
When bevel cutting operations are complete, don't forget to
return the sliding fence to the original position and secure it by
firmly tightening the slide fence locking screw (35).
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. M)
When tilting the carriage to the left, loosen the bevel lock knob
(2) at the rear of the tool counterclockwise. Unlock the arm by
pushing the handle somewhat strongly in one direction only.
Tilt the saw blade until the bevel angle indicator (25)
u
points to the desired angle on the bevel angle scale (27).
Tighten the bevel lock knob (2) clockwise firmly to secure
u
the arm.
Warning! When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the
handle fully. After changing the bevel angle, always secure the
arm by tightening the lever clockwise.
Warning! When tilting the saw blade, always be aware of the
weight of the head and make sure to avoid it crashing over.
N
Switch action (Fig.
)
Caution! Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the trigger switch (19) actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, move the safety release lever (20) to the
u
right with your index finger.
Press the trigger switch (19).
u
To stop the tool, release the trigger switch (19).
u
Warning! Never use tool without a fully operative switch
trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch is
HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be repaired before usage.
Use of Cut line System (Fig.
Note: The mitre saw must be connected to a power source. The
cut line system is equipped with an on/off button (21). The cut line
system is independent of the mitre saw's trigger switch.
The light does not need to be on in order to operate the saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
Turn on the cut line system, then pull down on the operating
u
main handle (18) to bring the saw blade close to the wood.
The shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.
Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade's shadow.
u
You may have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order
to match the pencil line exactly.
