Operating Instructions

1. Make sure you have read and fully understood the

general instructions and safety precautions that are

printed in the preceding pages of this manual.

2. Before connecting the machine to the supply;

check the tool for obvious signs of damage, paying

particular attention to the plug and the power cable.

Rectify or have rectiﬁed any damage you discover.

Check that the blade you are using is the correct one

for the job in hand. Change the blade if necessary.

Check the blade is not damaged; is clean, sharp,

tracks properly and is correctly tensioned.

3. Set the upper blade guide to approximately 12mm

(1/2”) above the height of the work piece.

4. Check, especially on site, that there are no foreign

objects e.g. old nails, screws, small stones etc.

embedded in the material you are about to cut.

5. Check that all accessories, tools etc., that have been

used to set the machine up, are removed and set

carefully aside or stowed away correctly.

6. Ensure the machine is switched off. Plug the power

cable into a correctly rated switched socket outlet.

If extension leads are being used, check these for

damage, do not use if damaged; if you are working

outside, check that any extension cables in use are

rated for outside work. Switch on. Allow the saw to

run up to speed.

7. Make sure that the material you are about to cut

is within the machine capacity, and the cut you are

about to make is within the blades’ capabilities. e.g.

Do not try to cut a 1” radius curve using a 5/8” blade.

8. Make sure the blade is not in contact with the

material when you start the saw. Start the cutting

operation.
