Changing the blade
Note: Carefully observe the direction of rotation markings on the saw blade.
1. Make sure the saw is switched off and unplugged.
2. Remove the blade guard.
4. Raise the saw blade as high as it will go and undo
the blade locking nut using the supplied spanner.
Note: The nut has a left-hand thread.
5. Remove the flange and the blade.
6. Fit the new blade and replace the flange making sure that the lugs on the flange fit into the slots on
the spindle. Tighten the nut securely.
7. Check the riving knife setting and adjust it if necessary.
8. Refit the table insert and the blade guard.
Sawing
Note: Always test the saw blade on a suitable workpiece following a change of blade. Check that all the angles
are correct and that the saw cut is clean. Adjust if necessary. A bit of practice is usually needed to achieve
the perfect result. Try sawing different types of wood and different rates of feed and practice changing
the settings safely until you feel comfortable using the saw. Always use the supplied push stick if necessary.
Note: Keep your hands well away from the blade.
Ripping (parallel cutting)
• Always use the rip fence for sawing parallel along the length of the workpiece.
• Use the high profile edge of the rip fence for workpieces over 120 mm in height.
• Use the low profile edge of the rip fence for workpieces under 120 mm in height.
Crosscutting
Always use the mitre gauge for square crosscutting, mitre crosscutting or bevel crosscutting.
3. Unscrew the four table insert retaining screws and
remove the insert.
