OPERATION

MAINTENANCE

Cutting Large Sheets

Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support. If you attempt to cut

without levelling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing

kickback and extra load on the motor.

Use timber underneath the sheet or board to raise it for support. This will ensure a safe and

stable cutting operation. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the

depth of the cut so that you cut through the sheet or board only and not the table or work

bench. If the sheet or board to be cut is too large for a table or work bench, use supporting

timbers on the oor and secure.

Rip cuts

The rip fence (15) is used when cutting parallel to the edge of a shaped part. To attach rip

fence (15), insert rip fence through rip fence slots in base plate (5) to desired width and

secure with the rip fence lock knob (17).

The distance from the blade to the base surface of the rip fence shall be set on its scale at

guide notch (19) for vertical cutting and guide notch (18) for 45º cutting.

When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence may not allow the desired width of cut. Clamp

or nail a straight piece of 25 mm thick timber to the sheet as a guide. Use the right

side of the base plate against the board guide.

GENERAL INSPECTION

Regularly inspect all fasteners and ensure they are properly tightened. Should any of the

screws be loose, retighten it immediately to avoid hazards.

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer

or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

CLEANING

For safe operation always keep the machine and its ventilation slots clean.

Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the ventilation slots and the

grills around the switches. Use a soft brush and/or air jet to remove any accumulated dust.

Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning.

Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.

WARNING!

Never use alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent. Never use caustic agents to

clean plastic parts. Water must never come into contact with the tool.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

To assure product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including

brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by authorised service centres

always using genuine replacement parts.
