Head Assembly lock pin
The head assembly lock pin (item 43 - page 9) is
located on the right side of the pivot post (item 34 -
page 9). It is used to hold the saw’s head assembly
in the DOWN position. This position prevents the
head from bouncing up and down during
transportation . This also makes the saw mor e
compact for lifting and storage. This position is also
required for some calibrating procedures.
To Engage the Head Assembly lock pin
1. Check that the depth stop plate (item 33 - page 9)
is disengaged, or pressed in to the left position.
2. Grasp the saw’s main handle (item 3 - page 8) and
press down on the head assembly.
3. While pressing the saw head down, push in on the
head a ssembly lock pin. Release the head
assembly. The head will be locked in the DOWN
position (see Figure 11).

To Adjust the Glide Movement
Controller
The glide movement controller is attached to the
upper joint of the glide mechanism; it is designed to
control the smoothness of the saw’s glide action.
When assembled at the factory, the controller is not
adjusted; therefore, the movement is very smooth. To
adjust the glide mechanism’s smoothness, slightly
tighten or loosen the two screws at the top by using
the 6/4mm hex key or a 4mm hex key (see Figure 12).
