adjusting handle
handwheel. Detailed instructions are provided in this
manual for the basic cut: cross cuts, mitre cuts, bevel
cuts, and compound cuts.
◌ The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise
cuts and used for outfeed support for large workpiece
cuts.
◌ It's very important to use the riving knife, anti-kickback
pawls and blade guard assembly for all through cut
sawing operations.
3. Causes of kickback
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing
the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator with
great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw
blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and
come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback
can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using
precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused
by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such
as the following:
◌ Making a cut with incorrect blade depth.
◌ Sawing into knots or nails in the work piece.
◌ Twisting the wood while making a cut.
◌ Failing to support the workpiece.
◌ Forcing a cut.
◌ Cutting warped or wet lumber.
◌ Using the wrong blade for the type of cut.
◌ Not following correct operating procedures.
◌ Misusing the saw.
◌ Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls.
◌ Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
4. Precautions of kickback
NOTE
Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper
precautions:
• Never stand directly in line with the saw blade.
Always position your body on the same side of the
saw blade as the fence.
Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity
towards anyone standing in front and in line with the
saw blade.
• Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull
or to support the workpiece.
Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or
kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
• Never hold and press the workpiece that is being
cut off against the rotating saw blade.
Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw
blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
• Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade.
A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against
the saw blade and create kickback.
• Use extra caution when making a cut into blind
areas of assembled workpieces.
The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
• Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw
blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight.
Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the
panel overhanging the table top.
• Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is
on the height/bevel adjusting twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight
edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the
fence.
A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable
and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw
blade, binding and kickback.
• Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked
vertically or horizontally.
The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and
cause kickback.
• When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the
workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that
the saw teeth are not engaged in the material.
If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and
cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
• Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient
set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades
with cracked or broken teeth.
Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise
binding, stalling and kickback.
5. Switch assembly (Fig. 17)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, be sure switch is in the OFF
position before plugging machine in.
To turn saw on and off:
◌ Flip the switch cover (84) upward.
◌ Press the switch I (85) to turn on the saw.
◌ Press the switch paddle (86) to turn off the saw.
To lock saw:
◌ Flip the switch cover (84) downward.
◌ The holes (87) is provided in the switch for insertion of
a padlock with a removable shank to lock the saw off.
NOTE
A conventional padlock will not fit.
6. Overload protection (Fig. 17)
The saw is equipped with an overload switch (9) to prevent
the saw from overload damage. The saw will automatically
shut off if the machine was with overloaded cutting or low
voltage. Wait for the motor to cool down at least five minutes.
And press the overload reset switch button to resume the
overload switch. After the motor has cooled down, press
the green "I"-button on the ON/OFF switch to restart saw.
7. Changing blade depth (Fig. 18)
Blade depth should be set so that outer points of blade
are higher than workpiece by approximately 3 mm to 6
mm and bottom of gullets are below top surface of
workpiece.
◌ Turn the bevel lock lever (23) clockwise to tighten it
securely.
◌ Raise blade (30) by turning height adjusting knob (22)
on the height/bevel adjusting handwheel (21)
clockwise. Lower blade by turning height adjusting
knob (22) counter- clockwise.
◌ Make sure blade (30) is at proper height.
WARNING
Make sure the blade guard is in place after adjusting the
blade depth. Failure to heed this instruction could result
in serious personal injury.
8. Changing blade angle (bevel) (Fig. 19)
CAUTION
A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.
