OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction
book carefully.
WARNING: Remove the plug from the
socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Failure to heed this warning can result in
serious personal injury.
1. RELEASE KNOB
The release knob makes easier handling of the machine
when transporting to the various working locations.
- Securing the Machine (Transport Mode)
(See Fig. A1)
Press the handle downwards to its lowest position. Push
in the release knob inward to lock the machine head to
transport mode.
- Releasing the Machine (Working Position)
(See Fig. A2, A3)
Press the handle downwards first to relieve the load on the
release knob. Then pull the release knob outward. You can
now guide the machine head slowly upwards to its highest
position for work.
2. CHANGING THE CUTTING DISC (SEE FIG.
B1-B3)
NOTE:
•
Use only cutting discs that correspond to the
characteristic data given in these operating instructions.
•
Use only cutting discs whose allowable speed is as high
as the no load speed of the machine.
•
Actuate the spindle lock lever only when the cutting disc
is at a standstill.
- Removing the cutting disc
1) Place the machine in the working position.
2) Rotate the movable guard upwards to expose the hex
head bolt which secures the cutting disc to the disc
arbor. (See Fig. B1)
3) Push in the spindle lock lever and rotate the disc until
the spindle lock lever engages it, locking the disc in
place. (See Fig. B2)
4) While holding the spindle lock lever in place, use the
supplied spanner to loosen the hex head bolt by rotating
it counter-clockwise. Remove the hex head bolt,
washer, outside flange, and cutting disc. (See Fig. B3)
NOTE: The inside flange is held in place by a spring clip
and inner washer onto the arbor. Do not remove these
EN
components, removal is not required for disc changes.
- New disc installation
1) Inspect the replacement disc for defects such as cracks,
chipping, and correct speed rating. If defects are found
or the speed rating is not greater than
4000 r/min, discard the disc and select another.
2) Remove any debris from the inside flange and inner
washer. Position the new cutting disc over the inner
washer and against the inside flange.
3) Clean and align the outside flange to the disc arbor, then
slide it onto the disc arbor until it rests flush against the
cutting disc.
4) Insert the hex head bolt into the threaded end of the disc
arbor and rotate it in a clockwise direction until snug.
Then depress the spindle lock lever to prevent the arbor
from rotating, use the supplied spanner to securely
tighten the hex head bolt to hold the cutting disc firmly
in place.
5) Return the disc guard to its lowest position.
WARNING! Do not overtighten the hex
head bolt. Overtightening can cause the
new disc to crack, resulting in premature
failure and possible serious personal injury.
WARNING! Be sure to check the
position of the machine arm adjustable
depth stop to ensure the new disc does not
cut into the work surface beneath the base
when the saw arm is fully lowered. Failure to
heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
3. STATIONARY VICE FENCE (SEE FIG. C1-
C4)
The adjustable stationary vice/angle stop can be rotated
to attain cutting angles from 0 to 45 degrees and moved
rearward to allow greater cutting widths.
- To adjust the cutting angle
1) Using the supplied spanner to loosen the two stationary
vice fence fixing bolts by turning counter-clockwise.
(See Fig. C1)
2) Rotate the stationary vice fence until the desired angle
of cut is aligned with the indicator groove in the machine
base. (See Fig. C2)
3) Check the angle of the stationary vice fence to the
cutting disc using a protractor, bevel square, or a similar
device.
4) Using the supplied spanner to securely re-tighten the
two bolts.
- To increase the cutting width
1) Using the supplied spanner, remove the two stationary
vice fence fixing bolts securing the vice fence. Locate
