ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING: Before operating the ON/OFF switch make
sure that the blade guard is correctly installed and
operating properly.
The machine is equipped with a NVR (no volt release) switch.
To start the machine lift the cover plate to reveal the on and o
buttons (Fig. 26). Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and release the cover plate, allowing it to rest back against
the buttons. Do not fully close the cover plate as this will stop
the machine. To stop the machine, rmly press the large red
button on the cover plate, allowing the cover plate to click
shut and engage the ‘OFF’ button behind (Fig. 26).

procedures have been carried out.
RAISING/LOWERING THE BLADE
WARNING: Only make adjustments to the machine when the
machine is switched OFF and the blade is stationary.
Note: This machine is equipped with a dual function hand-
wheel. In its ‘normal’ (outer) position the hand-wheel is used
to raise or lower the blade. When the hand-wheel is pushed in
against its bias spring it engages with the curved toothed rack
incorporated in the machines main body. This allows the hand-
wheel to be used to adjust the tilt/bevel angle of the blade.
