Ensure that the cutting depth adjustment, angle adjustment and
•
vice mechanisms are firmly fixed whilst using the tool.
Only use the flanges and washers that are supplied with the tool,
•
and replace them if they become damaged or scored.
Do not operate the tool under the influence of drugs, alcohol or

Changing Blades: Ensure the machine is unplugged. Undo the butterfly
nut (fig. 1. ref. A) and rotate the blade cover. Press in the spindle lock and
check that it is fully engaged by manually rotating the blade. Using the
supplied 8mm Hex wrench, undo the hex bolt that secures the blade by
turning it counter clockwise, and remove the bolt, washer, outside blade
flange and blade. Note: Do not remove inside blade flange. Press in
the spindle lock. Replace blade, making sure that the printed side of the
blade is facing you then refit the outside blade flange, washer, and hex
bolt. Turn the hex bolt clockwise to tighten. Note: Check that the spindle
lock is fully released by manually rotating the blade before use. Rotate
the blade cover back into position and tighten the butterfly nut. Refit the
Hex wrench to the holder on the machine.
Adjustment Of The Cutting Depth Stop
The down stop (fig. 2. ref. A) should be adjusted so that the maximum
cutting capacity is maintained without the blade hitting the base. Lower
the cutter head until the arm hits the down stop. If necessary adjust the
down stop screw and lock nut until the correct clearance is achieved.
Tighten the lock nut to lock in position.
Adjustment Of The Cutting Angle
The vice can be adjusted from 0 to 45 degrees. Loosen the lever on
the vice and adjust to the required cutting angle. Tighten lever to lock in
position.
Adjustment Of The Stationary Vice
The vice can be repositioned by removing the lever and Allen screw, and
then sliding the fence to the desired position. Replace and tighten the
lever and screw to lock in position.
Metal Cutting Saw Safety

Operating Advice

Always securely clamp the material to be cut in the vice. To start the tool,
you must depress the main trigger switch to power the motor. With the
motor head in the raised position, switch on the motor and allow to come
up to full speed. Lower the motor head to begin cutting. When starting
a cut take care to introduce the blade to the material slowly, using light
pressure at first to keep blade from grabbing, and then continue with
for 110v machines.
