JAlways ensure that all the clamps and stops are firmly held in place.

JNever saw through more than one workpiece at a time.

JEnsure that the saw blade has reached full speed before starting your cut and avoid using too much force. In that way you will prevent the saw blade from being blocked.

LOperation

LAssembly

Do not connect the chop and mitre saw to the mains before you have worked through the following assembly instructions and completely assembled the device.

1.Slide the lateral support stirrups Y into the openings provided for them on the left and right of the saw table T until they meet the stop and then fully tighten the clamp screws U.

2.Screw the saw table setting knob O into the threaded hole provided.

3.Loosen the saw table setting knob O again. Press the mitre angle stop I and turn the saw table T using the saw table setting knob O into the basic position (0° setting).

4.When the mitre angle stop I has engaged in the basic position (0° setting), turn the saw table setting knob O to tighten it again.

5.Lightly press the switch handle W downwards and pull out the transport lock o. The saw motor unit Q tips upwards.

6.Ensure that the machine is standing in a stable position and check that the floor around the machine is flat, clean and free of loose particles such as sawdust chippings and sawing waste. Using the four mounting holes } provided, fasten the chop and mitre saw on to a firm, level surface.

7.If you have not fastened the machine tightly down to a working surface, pull out the rear support stirrup e as far as possible to provide maximum support to the machine.

Safety / Operation

LChecking and setting your saw

Warning! Always disconnect the mains supply (by pulling the plug out of the mains socket) before you change any settings or check the condition of the machine.

1. Parallel saw blade

jCheck that the saw blade is correctly installed; it must be parallel to the sawing slot in the table. To make any necessary settings proceed as follows;

jBring the saw table T into the basic position (0° setting). Release the transport restraint by lightly pressing the saw motor unit Q down- wards and pulling out the transport lock o. Un- lock the machine by pushing the safety lever E to the right. Lower the saw motor unit Q and check that the side face of the saw blade is parallel with the left hand edge of the sawing slot in the table. The blade and the edge must be absolutely parallel to one another. If necessary you can change the setting by loosening the three mounting screws A directly behind the saw blade (see Fig. A) using the supplied 6 mm Allen key (d) and bring the saw motor unit Q into parallel alignment. Then retighten the mounting screws.

2. Stop plate

jIt is particularly necessary to check the stop plate q if it has been removed from the machine and put back again. The stop plate must be perpendicular (at 90°) to the saw blade. This setting can only be made after the saw blade has been set as described above. To check the stop plate q, we recommend that you use a set square. Set one end of the set square against the stop plate and the other end against the side face of the saw blade. If necessary you can change the setting as follows:

jLoosen the two screws on the rear face of the stop plate q using the supplied 6 mm Allen key

(d) and bring the stop plate q into a perpendi- cular (90°) alignment to the side face of the saw blade. Tighten the screws again.
