Adjusting the cutting depth
Fig. 2
WARNING: Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power source before making any
adjustments.
Ensure that the saw is facing away from you.
Lift up the depth locking lever.
Hold the base plate at against the edge of the work piece and lift the body of the saw until the blade is at the right depth. Use the
depth scale to determine the cutting depth.
Press down the depth locking lever.
NOTE: Always use the correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not be more than 6.35mm
below the material being cut. Allowing more depth will increase the chance of kickback and result in a rough cut.
Adjusting the bevel angle
Fig. 3
WARNING: Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power source before making any
adjustments.
The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle between 0° and 45°. When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the saw base
to help you line up the blade with the line of cut. Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the base of the saw
when making 45° bevel cuts.
Loosen the bevel locking knob located at the front of the base plate.
Tilt the body of the saw until the required angle is reached using the bevel scale as a guide. Tighten the bevel locking knob to
secure the base plate.
NOTE: Always make a trial cut in a scrap piece of material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the blade
from the guideline to make.
Using the parallel fence
Fig. 4
WARNING: Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power source before making any
adjustments.
The parallel fence allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet of wood, all at the same width. Loosen the parallel fence locking knob.
Slide the parallel fence through the parallel fence slots in the base plate.
Adjust the parallel fence to the required width and secure it in position with the parallel fence locking knob. Ensure that the parallel
fence rests against the wood along its entire length to give a consistent parallel cut.
Dust extraction
Fig. 5
To install the dust extraction tube, simply insert it onto the tool.
To remove it, just pull it out of the tool.
For optimum dust extraction, connect the dust extraction port to a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system.
Wrench storage
Fig. 6
For more convenient operation, the wrench can be stored in the base plate.
Just pull the wrench out for use.
Insert it into the slots after use.
