ASSEMBLY

•Assembly Tools required:

- four wrenches supplied (2 allen type)

•Place saw frame with cart into water tray. (Fig 4)

•Feed the powerhead assembly onto the arm of the saw frame through the opening in the back of the powerhead. (Fig 5)

•Allign the three holes in the powerhead with the three threaded holes in the saw frame arm and install the M5 x 10mm capscrews and lock washers. (Fig 6)

•Loosely Install the M6 x 40mm capscrew and washers at the rear of the saw frame. Insert just enough brass spacers to fill any gap between the saw frame and the powerhead, and then fully tighten the capscrew. Not using spacers can adversely affect allignment. (Fig 7)

•Install blade guard onto the powerhead with supplied knob. (Fig 8)

WATER PUMP INSTALLATION

•Remove the water pump from its packaging and check it to be sure it is not cracked or damaged in any way.

•Route the 8mm plastic tubing as shown. (Fig 9)

•Attach the ends of the 8mm plastic tubing to the blade guard and to the water pump. (Fig 10 & 11)

•Place the water pump in the rear of the water tray and set in place using the mounting bracket as shown. (Fig 12)

•Keep the power cord out of the water and plug into the motor pigtail three-pronged outlet. (Fig 16)

WATER PUMP SAFETY GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE.

Always plug the saw power cord into a GFCI outlet when using. If a GFCI type outlet is not available, use a plug-in type GFCI plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Do not use any temporary plug adapters.

•The water pump is equipped with a ground electrical plug, to reduce the risk of possible shock. Be sure to connect to a properly grounded type receptacle.

•Never pick the water pump up out of the water when it is plugged in.

•DO NOT EVER use the water pump to pump anything but water.

•Never service the pump when it is still plugged in.

•Never let the pump operate dry. It is self-cooled by pumping water. Dry use will cause the pump to fail.

•Maintain regularly and clean out debris from intake screen.

•Check the power cord for nicks or frays and never try to alter the power cord in any way.

FITTING OR CHANGING THE BLADE

BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (Fig 13-15)

•Turn motor switch off.

•Disconnect power cord.

•Carefully raise the blade guard to its highest position and tighten the adjustment knob on the rear support, so as to put firmly in place.

•Then remove the blade shaft nut and the outer flange. (Fig 13) Use the 5mm allen wrench to hold the shaft and the box end wrench to turn the nut counter-clockwise. (Fig 15)

•Place blade onto the shaft, pushing it up against the inner flange. Make sure the blade is mounted with the directional arrow pointing counter- clockwise. (Fig 14)

•Next replace the outer flange and shaft-nut and tighten down. (Fig 14, 15) Do not over-tighten.

•Next lower the blade guard back into position and tighten the knob.

Pay attention to the direction of rotation shown by the arrow on one side of the Blade (rotation in the opposite direction to the tightening of the nut). Blade should rotate counter-clockwise when facing the bladeshaft nut.
