Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always
check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Your tool is double insulated in accordance with EN 61029;
therefore no earth wire is required.
WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondary winding.
In case of cord replacement the tool must only be repaired by an
authorized service agent or by qualified electrician.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the earth
terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 13 A.
Fitting a Mains Plug to 115 V Units
(U.K. and Ireland Only)
• The plug fitted should be comply with BS EN 60309 (BS4343),
16 Amps, earthing contact position 4h.
WARNING: Always ensure that the cable clamp is correctly
and securely fitted to the sheath of the cable.

Using an Extension Cable

If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core extension
cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see technical data).
The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
Installation
UNPACKING (FIG. B)
• Remove the saw from the packing material carefully.
• Release the rail lock knob (13), and push the saw head back to
lock it in the rear position.
• Press down the operating handle (18) and pull out the lock down
pin (14), as shown.
• Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to
its full height.
BENCH MOUNTING (FIG. C)
• Holes (40) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different
sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both. Bolts
with a diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length are suggested.
Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance
the portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support
or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
• When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that
the mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood.
The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping
the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any
other point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
• To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is
not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface,
place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is
firm on the mounting surface.
