ed edge of the blade extends no more than 5 mm be-
yond the lower edge of the riving knife.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This tool is specially designed for straight sawing only of
boards made from wood and derivatives (plywood,
chipboard etc.).
BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
Before using the tool, make sure the mains voltage
is correct: it must be the same as that on the speci-
fication label.
Before plugging in the tool, always make sure the control
switch A works properly and returns to the OFF position
when released.
START UP
WARNING! Only plug in when machine is switched off.
Press the locking button I, and squeeze the trigger in the
on/off switch A. When the on/off switch is released, the
machine stops.
FITTING THE DISC
WARNING!: Always unplug the machine before carrying
out any work on it.
CAUTION: Do not use bent or cracked blades or
high-speed steel blades. Do not use saw blades that
do not conform to the specifications contained in
these instructions.
1. Move the mobile guard B backwards and hold it in
place.
2. To loosen or tighten the screw D with the key sup-
plied with the machine, secure the blade with the aid
of a screwdriver as follows: turn the blade guard to
the side and turn the blade until the hole lies under
the saw shoe and insert a screwdriver in the hole so
that the blae does not move (or place the saw on a
piece of wood).
3. Loosen the screw D and remove the setting disc C.
4. Fit the saw blade and tighten with the setting disc C
and the screw D.
5. Before fitting the new blade, make sure the surfaces
in contact with the setting discs are clean. The teeth
of the saw should protrude beyond the riving knife E.
(The arrow printed on the fixed guard of the machine
indicates the cutting direction of the teeth).
SETTINGS
1 Cutting depth setting.
For a clean perfect cut, the cutting depth should be
adjusted to the thickness of the wood to be worked
on, so that the saw blade protrudes a tooth's height
from the material.
To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the wing nut F
and move the machine upwards or downwards. The
scale printed on the parallel guide indicates the
cutting depth.
2 Cutting angle setting.
It can cut vertically and with an inclination of up to 45º.
The angle is adjusted by loosening the wing nut J and
according the scale printed on the base.
3 Riving knife adjustment.
WARNING: The riving knife E prevents the blade from
seizing up duriing cutting operations and shold alwyas
be used for safety reasons.
The machine is supplied with the riving knife adjusted.
When fitting a new blade, follow the steps below for
readjustment:
1. Raise the mobile guard B and loosen rhe screw
button D.
2. Move the wedge through the slot to a distance from
the teeth tip and a cutting depth from same of 2 to 3
mm (máx. 5 mm).
3. Tighten the screw D and the machine is ready to work.
4 Lateral stop adjustment.
For parallel cutting, use the lateral stop H.
Cutting width is adjusted with the scale or according to
the plotting.
Tighten the wing nut G to work with the lateral stop.
5 Cutting indication
Notch K is used as cutting indication with the blade in
horizontal position. It is advisable to perform test cuts.
DUST EXTRACTION
WARNING! Always make sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged before fitting or removing any dust
extraction device.
Dust extraction keeps the workplace clean, prevents
dust build-up in the air and facilitates waste elimination.
These saws are equipped with a dust extraction hole N
to which an adapter can be fitted. A universal vacuum
cleaner may be fitted or any dust extraction device.
CAUTION: Always use a vacuum extractor designed in
accordance with the applicable Guidelines on sawdust
emission. The flexible hoses of conventional vacuum
cleaners fit directly onto the dust extraction nozzle.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
WARNING! Always unplug the machine before carrying
out work on it.
- Checking the saw blade: Deposits of resin and glue
on the saw blade cause inefficient cutting. To avoid
them, always clean the blade immediately after use.
- Inspect the mounting screws: Regularly inspect all
the mounting screws and ensure they are firmly tighte-
ned. Should any screw be loose, tighten it immedia-
tely. Failure to do so could put you at serious risk.
- Motor maintenance: Always take the greatest care
over this and make sure that the motor winding is not
damaged and does not become wet with oil or water.
- The vents should always be kept clean and free of
obstacles.
- Clean the machine thoroughly after each use. Blast the
motor regularly with compressed air.
- Check that the mains lead is in good condition. If it is
not, take it to an Official Service Centre to have it
replaced.
- Brush replacement: Brushes must be replaced
when length reaches 8 mm or less. To do so, please
contact an authorized after sales service center. We
