16 Amps, earthing contact position 4h.
WARNING: Always ensure that the cable clamp is correctly
and securely fitted to the sheath of the cable.

Using an Extension Cable

If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core extension
cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see Technical Data).The
minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
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.
Unpacking
The motor and guards are already assembled onto the base.
Cable Clamp (fi g. 7)
Insert the cable (bb) into the cable clamp (aa). Allow enough cable for
the saw head to travel, then tighten the clamp by means of the screw.
Bench Mounting (fi g. 2)
1. Holes (v) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized 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.
