Resumen del manual
4. Tighten the bevel adjustment knob (6) to secure the base plate. Note. Always make a trial cut in a scrap piece of material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the blade from the guideline to make an accurate cut. Switching on and off 1. Connect the plug to the power supply. 2. Depress the lock-off button (2) and squeeze the trigger switch (1). 3. The blade will take approximately 2 seconds to reach full speed. Note. When you release the trigger, the machine turns off and the lock-off button re-engages to prevent accidental operation. CAUTION. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before setting the saw down. Making a cut 1. Mark the line of cut on the workpiece and align the blade guide as follows: a. Cutting at 90° b. Cutting at 45° 2. Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece. Start the motor and let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds). 3. Slowly push the saw forward using both hands. Note. When making a cut always use steady, even pressure. Forcing the saw causes rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause kickback. Allow the blade and the saw to do the work. 4. After completing your cut, release the switch (1) and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving. Note. Since blade thickness varies, always make a trial cut in scrap material along the guideline to check the accuracy of the blade guide notches. Making a pocket cut 1. Adjust the depth of cut as required. 2. Adjust the bevel setting to 0°. 3. Raise the lower blade guard lever (10) to expose the saw blade, firmly rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece. 4. With the blade just clearing the workpiece, start the motor by depressing the lock-off button (2) and squeezing the trigger switch (1). 5. Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds) before you begin to cut into the workpiece. 6. Slowly lower the saw into the workpiece, using the front of the base resting on the workpiece as a hinge point. WARNING. As soon as the blade starts cutting the material, release the lower blade guard lever. 7. Once the base plate (12) is flat against the workpiece, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut. 8. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving. Note. If the corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners. Using the parallel fence The parallel fence (9) allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet of wood, all at the same width. CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments. 1. Loosen the parallel fence locking knob (8). 2. Slide the parallel fence (9) through the slots in the base plate (12). 3. Adjust the parallel fence to the required width and secure it in position with the parallel fence locking knob (8). 4. Ensure that the parallel fence rests against the wood along its entire length to give a consistent parallel cut. Changing the blade CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments. 1. Rotate the saw blade by hand whilst depressing button (17) until the blade locks. 2. Whilst depressing button (17), turn the blade bolt anti-clockwise using blade key (19). 3. Remove the outer blade flange and the blade bolt. 4. Raise the lower blade guard (11) using lever (10). Remove the saw blade from the inner flange and pull out the blade. Note. Clean the saw blade flanges thoroughly before mounting the new saw blade. Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner and outer flange where they will touch the blade. 5. Mount the new saw blade onto the spindle and against the inner flange. 6. Replace the outer flange and tighten the blade bolt. WARNING. The direction in which the blade rotates has to be the same as the direction of the arrow marked on the housing. Ensure that button (17) is released. Before using the saw again, check that the safety devices are in good working order. IMPORTANT. After replacing the saw blade, make sure that the saw blade runs freely by turning the blade by hand. 7. Plug the machine into a power socket and run the saw under no load to check that it runs smoothly before using it to cut any material. Maintenance WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures. Cleaning 1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a rag. 3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals. 4. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like al...
