blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock fully so that

loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the
hex bolt, outer flange and blade.

CLOCKWISE SECURELY.

When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper
and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such
efforts do not, however, replace the need to check lower
guard operation before each use.
Dust extraction
This tool is equipped with a dust box to collect dust and
cut chips. When the dust box is about two thirds full,
empty its contents. To do so, press the lever to unlock
the dust cap. Then open it.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
•
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is
completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly
follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or
force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and
then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and
start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which
exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected
from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.

CAUTION:
The riving knife should always be used.
•
Do not stop the saw blade by lateral pressure on
•
the disc.
Retracting lever should be used only for bevel
•
cutting and shallow cutting such as lower guard
cannot move smoothly. Raise lower guard by
Retracting Lever. As soon as blade enters the
material, retracting lever must be released. For all
other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
Rip fence (Guide rule)
Fig.11
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with
the screw on the front of the base. It also makes
repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.12
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
