  • Page 14: Operation

    Make sure unit is off and disconnected from power source before inspecting any wiring. The saw is prewired for use on a 120 volt, 60HZ power supply. The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The green ground line must remain securely fastened to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
  • Page 15 The saw blade can be set at any angle between 90° and 45°. Blade tilt is controlled by the handwheel (Fig. 44) on the right side of the saw. The indicator (Fig. 45) on front of saw shows the tilt angle of the blade.
  • Page 16 Lock handwheel by tightening locking hand knob clock- wise. Tighten only until snug. • The saw is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45°. These positive stops allow operator to position saw blade at 90° and 45° quickly and accurately.
