ASSEMBLY
Always make sure that the power cord is unplugged and the trigger switch is “OFF” before changing blades or attachments.
When removing the blade from the tool, avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the blade or accessory. Accessories
may be hot after prolonged use.
If the blade clamp screw will not loosen enough to allow blade installation, tap gently on the end of the wrench with a mallet until the clamp screw breaks free.
ATTACHING / REMOVING BLADE
Only use sharp and undamaged saw blades. Cracked or bent saw blades must be replaced immediately.
REPLACING THE SAW BLADE:
1. Hold the saw blade guard open.
2. Use the flange wrench to stop the saw blade from moving.
3. Loosen the blade bolt with hex wrench and remove it.
4. Remove the flange.
5. Remove the old saw blade and place the new saw blade with the teeth pointing in the direction of rotation. See arrow on the housing.
6. Move the saw blade guard back into its normal position.
7. Place the flange on the saw blade and secure the blade bolt.
MOUNTING THE RIP FENCE
MOUNTING THE RIP FENCE:
The rip fence allows sawing parallel to an edge at a maximum distance of 4".
1. Loosen the lock knob.
2. Insert the rip fence into the saw base as shown in the illustration.
3. Set the lock knob to the required distance.
4. Tighten the lock knob.
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Disconnect plug from power supply before making any adjustments to the tool.
1. Hold the saw firmly.
2. Loosen the depth adjustment knob and move shoe to obtain the desired depth of cut.
3. Make sure the depth adjustment knob has been retightened before operating saw.
Your saw is equipped with a carbide tipped blade for long life and efficient cutting.
Setting the saw at the proper cutting depth keeps blade friction to a minimum, removes sawdust from between the blade teeth, results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of kickback. Align the appropriate mark on the depth adjustment strap with the triangle on the upper blade guard. Your depth is set.
For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of the wood to be cut.
