CUT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Ensure the tool is disconnected from power.
1. Loosen the depth adjustment lever
(17) and pivot the saw body away
from the baseplate.
2. Adjust the saw until the desired depth
is achieved, according to the cut depth scale
(18).
The depth scale should only be used
as a reference. If an accurate depth is
required, perform several test cuts until the
desired depth is achieved.
3. Push down on the lever to lock, but do not over-
tighten.
For best cutting results the blade
should extend no more than one tooth
depth beyond the thickness of the material
being cut.
• The height lever can be repositioned, if the
mechanism is a bit firm or loose, with the lever
raised.
To re-position the lever, prise off the circlip
securing the lever with a blade screwdriver.
Remove the lever from the hex nut and relocate
it clockwise (if too firm) or anti-clockwise (if too
loose) one position then refit.
Replace the circlip and re-check the locking
position of the lever.
SETTING BEVEL ANGLES
Bevel angles can be set anywhere within
the range 0˚ to 45˚.
Do not attempt to bevel the saw if
mounted in a saw table.
1. Ensure the tool is disconnected
from power.
2. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (8) at the
front of the saw.
3. Angle the saw body to the desired degree
setting, as marked on the bevel scale (9).
The bevel scale should only be used
as a reference. If an accurate angle is
required, perform several test cuts until the
desired bevel is achieved.
4. Re-tighten the bevel adjustment lever.
POWER SWITCH
Ensure that both hands are firmly on the hand
grips of the tool before switching on.
• Pull the trigger switch (3) “ON”.
There will be some initial resistance
when pulling the trigger on - this is
a safety mechanism, to prevent accidental
starting of the saw.
• Releasing the trigger will switch the
tool “OFF”.
Do not engage the blade with your workpiece
until it is spinning at full speed - likewise avoid
switching off the tool until the cut is complete.
