Machine Set Up
Mounting / Removing TCT Saw Blades
Remove the chip collection cover from the machine by undoing the knob.
Undo the two screws to release the inside blade guard. Loosen the screw
that retains the spanner to the machine and remove the spanner. Undo
the M13 bolt that secures the blade (fig. 3) and remove the blade flange.
Note: Use spindle lock. Replace blade, making sure that the arrow for the
direction of rotation of the blade matches that of the machine then tighten
the M13 bolt with the flange in the correct position. Note: Check that the
spindle lock is fully released by manually rotating the blade before use.
Refit the spanner to the holder on the machine and tighten the retaining
screw.
Adjustment Of The Cutting Depth
Release the handle to adjust to the required cutting depth. Ensure that
the blade protrudes a maximum of 3/16" (4mm) through the material
being cut. Tighten the handle to lock in position. Note: The safety guard
(fig. 1) is marked in increments from 0 – 84mm to assist in setting the
depth of cut.
Adjustment Of The Cutting Angle
Release both locking handles (fig. 2) and adjust to the required cutting
angle by lining up the mark with the printed scale. Tighten both handles
to lock in position. Note: There are certain compound cuts on which it
may be necessary to manually retract the guard to allow the blade to
enter into and / or through the cut.
Line Of Cut Guide Slots
Guide slots are provided at the front of the saw base. The left slot is used
to follow a line when making a 90-degree cut. The right slot is used to
follow a line when making a 45-degree cut.
Operating Advice
Always clamp the work piece on a rigid support such as a bench or saw
horses where possible. This tool is equipped with a safety start feature –
to start the tool, you must first push in the switch on the side of the handle
with your thumb – you can then depress the main trigger switch to power
the motor. Do not force the tool – let the speed of the saw blade do the
work. Cutting performance will not improve by applying more pressure
on the tool and blade life will be reduced. When using the parallel guide,
ensure that it is parallel with the blade and not the base of the tool, as
otherwise the blade and motor could become damaged. To set the guide,
loosen the two retaining screws, and slide it up snugly against the side of
the work piece. Retighten the screws to secure it in the desired position.
Place front edge of saw squarely on work before starting motor. When
starting a cut, sight the cutting line with the line of cut guide taking care to
introduce the blade to the material slowly, so as not to damage its teeth.
Use both hands to move the saw forward through the work piece.
