SAW BENCH GUIDE
• Check that the saw bench is equipped with appropriate
blade guarding and ensure that it is properly adjusted
and functioning correctly before operating.
• Ensure the saw is mounted
securely to the bench.
Refer to the manufacturer's
instruction manual for
mounting instructions.
• Prior to starting work,
manually run the saw along
the table to ensure it runs
smoothly and is clear of obstructions.
REPLACING THE SAW BLADE
WARNING Ensure that the tool is switched off
and disconnected from the power supply before
making any adjustments or installing or removing
blades.
• Only use 235mm (9¼") blades, with a kerf between 2.2
and 3.5mm, designed for circular saws with a no-load
speed rating of at least 5000rpm. Never fit high speed
steel blades or abrasive discs. Fitting of other purpose
or different sized blades could void the warranty.
• Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check the blade is
flat, sharp and free of cracks or defects.
1. Ensure the saw is disconnected from power.
2. Hold in the Spindle Lock
Button (19) and use the 6mm
Hex Key (20) supplied to
remove the arbor bolt - turn
in the direction of the blade
rotation. The shaft will turn
slightly before locking,
allowing the bolt and outer
arbor washer to be removed.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING Ensure that the tool is switched off
and the plug is removed from the power point
before making any adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
• Regularly check that the saw arbors and arbor washer
are clean, and free of built-up gum deposits or caked-
on sawdust. Check that the faces of the arbor washers
are smooth and free from burrs. Check that the blade
retaining bolt is correctly tightened.
• Check the operation of the spring-loaded lower guard.
It must close quickly and without scraping anywhere.
Remove the blade and clean accumulated sawdust or
wood slivers from the guard area.

Saw Bench Guide / Replacing the Saw Blade / Maintanance
• Check that your saw bench is fitted with an anti-
kickback device.
• Make sure a suitable safety on/off switch is fitted to the
saw bench. The saw switch may then be locked on using
a spring clamp, cable tie or similar and then plugged into
the safety socket on the saw bench. This clamp MUST
be taken off when the saw is removed from the saw
bench.
• Using all safety equipment make a test cut in an off
cut piece of material making sure all guarding is set up
correctly before continuing with your bench sawing.
3. Holding the Lower Blade Guard
(8) fully back, carefully lift
the worn blade off the inner
washer on the shaft and
slide the blade through the
baseplate.
4. Now, keeping the lower blade
guard fully retracted, carefully
slide the new blade through
the baseplate and position it
onto the inner washer on the
shaft. The graphics should
face out and the arrow on
the blade should point in the
same direction as the arrow
on the guard.
5. Refit the outer arbor washer and, while depressing the
spindle lock button, tighten the arbor bolt firmly into
position – turn against the direction of blade rotation.
6. Ensure the blade sits flush between the inner and outer
washers, then tighten firmly with the hex key.
• Occasionally check the tension of the micro-adjustment
knob, and if necessary tighten or loosen the Nyloc nut.
• The saw ventilation slots should be kept clean and
clear of any foreign matter. Use a lightly dampened
cloth to wipe the saw clean - do not use solvents.
BLADE MAINTENANCE
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build up
of gum resins or sawdust. If necessary clean with a
solvent such as WD40, RP7 or mineral turpentine.
• Regularly check the saw blade for flatness. Use of the
saw with a buckled blade places excessive load on
the motor and gearbox assembly, and may affect your
warranty rights.
