Global Machinery Company MPS184M instruction manual Switching on and off, Making a cut

Switching on and off

1. Connect the plug to the power	F
supply. The neon indicator

(1)indicates that power is connected to the tool (Fig. F).

2.Depress the lock-off button

(3)(Fig. G) and squeeze the trigger switch (2) (Fig. H).

Making a cut

1.Mark the line of cut on the workpiece.

2.Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.

3.When making 90° cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the base of the saw (Fig. I).

3.The blade will take approximately 2 seconds to reach full speed.

4.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.

4.When making 45° bevel cuts, align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the base of the saw.

5.Rest the front edge of the

base on the workpiece (Fig. J).J

6.Start the motor by depressing the lock-off button (3) and squeezing the trigger switch (2).

Note. Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds) before you begin to cut into the work piece.

7. Slowly push the saw forward	K
using both hands (Fig. K).

8.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.

9.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 work piece while the blade is moving.

Note. Since blade thickness varies, always make a trial cut in scrap material along the guideline to determine how much, if any, the guideline must be offset to get an accurate cut.
