'cut-off' piece cannot become 'jammed' in any other part of
the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece being
cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within 150mm of
the saw blade, the workpiece is too small.
Note: Angles should be clamped in an inverted position
(Fig.12) so that the point of the section is uppermost.
Workpiece should lay horizontal against the rear vise jaw to
ensure a clean cut. Use that the hand-wheel to secure the
workpiece between the front and rear vise jaws.
THE ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH
Note: This machine is equipped with a non latching safety
start trigger switch.
TO START THE MOTOR:
• Push in the safety lock button on the side of the handle with
your thumb.
• Depress the main trigger switch to start the motor.
WARNING: Never start the saw with the cutting edge of the
saw blade in contact with the workpiece surface.
WARNING: Before leaving the machine, ensure that the
machine and the blade rotation has come to a complete stop.
An unattended, live machine is unpredictable and highly
dangerous to people in the vicinity.
• Feeding the workpiece into the path of the blade or
cutter. Never feed workpiece into a blade or cutter against
the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter.
MAKING A CUT
• With the Cutting Head in the upper position, switch on the
motor and allow it to reach full operational speed.
• Gently lower the Cutting Head.
• Introduce the blade into the material slowly, using light
pressure at first to keep the blade from grabbing.
• Gradually increase the pressure as the blade enters the
workpiece. Do not 'force' the machine. Let the saw blade do
the work.
Note: Cutting performance will not improve by applying
undue pressure on the machine, and doing so may cause blade
and motor life to be reduced.
• Reduce the pressure as the blade begins to exit the material.
• On completion of a cut, allow the Cutting Head to return to
its upper position, and turn off the motor.
