When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes are located.
3. Turn the saw head traverse lock (R) (Fig. 2). 4. Keeping the saw head fully depressed, pull the head to the end of its travel. 5. Measure the height indicated in Figure 11 again. Both values should be identical. 6. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows (Fig.12): FIG. 12 Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Fence (Fig. 2, 14, 15) 1. Slacken the mitre latch (M). 2. Place your thumb on the mitre arm (L) and squeeze the mitre latch (M) to release the rotating table/mitre arm (N). 3.
Checking and Adjusting the Bevel Angle (Fig. 1, 18, 19) The bevel override allows the max. bevel angle to be set at 45° or 48° as required. Left = 45° Right = 48° 1. Make sure the override knob (A3) is located in the left position. 2. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (T) and move the saw head to the left. 3. This is the 45° bevel position. 4. If adjustment is required, turn the stopscrew (A4) in or out as necessary until the pointer (A1) indicates 45°.
VERTICAL MITRE CROSS-CUT (FIG. 21) 1. Squeeze the mitre latch (M). Move the arm left or right to the required angle. 2. The mitre latch will automatically locate at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62°, 45° and 50° both left and right. If any intermediate angle is required hold the head firmly and lock by fastening the mitre latch. 3. Always ensure that the mitre lock lever is locked tightly before cutting. 4. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust will accumulate. 3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. If they ever need replacement follow the instructions on page 7 or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair. Service center locations are packed with your tool. USING THE ROLLER TABLE (FIG.
