Discharge Port
When cutting wood the Discharge Port Exhaust should be fitted
to the chip collector cover Discharge Port.
To fit the Discharge Port Exhaust
• Remove the Discharge Port blanking cover by unscrewing
the cross headed screw.
• Pull the blanking cover from the Discharge Port and safely
store for future use.
• Fit the Discharge Port Exhaust in place of the blanking cover.
(Fig. 9) Wood chips will be ejected from the Discharge Port
Exhaust during cutting operations.
When cutting has been completed, remove the Exhaust Port
and replace the blanking cover and tighten the fixing screw
securely.
Cutting Advice
The operator should wear all relevant PPE (Personal Protection
Equipment) necessary for the job at hand. This could include
safety glasses, dust masks, safety shoes etc.
The operator should always be aware of the position and
routing of the power cable.
• Do not force the machine.
• Allow the speed of the saw blade do the work. Cutting
performance will not be improved by applying excessive
pressure to the machine, and blade life will be reduced.
• When using the parallel edge guide, ensure that it is parallel
with the blade. The blade and/or motor could become
damaged if the machine is used with an incorrectly adjusted
parallel edge guide.
• To set the guide, loosen the two retaining screws, and adjust
the guide to the required position. Tighten the locking screws.
• Place front edge of sole plate squarely on the workpiece
before starting the 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 forwards the work piece.
• Apply smooth, constant pressure to move the saw forwards
through the workpiece.
