CAUTION!
When the device is not in use, protect the
battery contacts. Loose metal parts may short
circuit the contacts; explosion and fire hazard!
Installing the blade
WARNING!
Use only 136-150 mm metal
s
aw blades rated
4500/min (RPM) or greater. NEVER use a
blade that is so thick that it prevents the outer
blade washer from engaging with the flat side
of the spindle. Using a blade not designed for
the saw may result in serious personal injury
and property damage.
WARNING!
Be sure to wear protective work gloves while
handling a saw blade. The blade can injure
unprotected hands.
Take the hex key (18) from its storage area.
Press the shaft-lock button (14) and use the
hex key to turn blade bolt (8) until the shaft-
lock button engages. Continue to depress
the shaft-lock button (14), turn the blade
bolt (8) counterclockwise and remove the
blade bolt and the outer washer (7) (see
figure C1).
Make sure that the saw teeth and the arrow
on the blade point in the same direction as
the arrow on the lower guard (9).
Retract the lower guard (9) all the way up
into the upper guard.
Slide the blade through the slot in the foot
and mount it against the inner washer on
the shaft.
Reinstall the outer washer (7). First finger
tighten the blade bolt (8) clockwise, then
tighten it with the hex key (18) provided
(see figure C2).
Chip box (see figure D1-D2)
WARNING!
Do not touch saw dust and the chip box
with bare hands immediately after the
operation. They may be extremely hot and
could burn your skin.
WARNING!
Wear eye protection or goggle when
emptying the chip box.
Saw dust is collected into the chip box.
Observe the saw dust collection in the chip
box through the transparent window (13).
Periodically dump the saw dust in the chip
box before it gets full.
Push the buckle (12) up to open the chip box
cover (11). Dump the saw dust while the tool
faces downward.
Adjusting the cutting depth (see
figure E)
Remove the battery.
Loosen the depth-adjustment lever (16).
Hold the base plate of the saw flat against
the edge of the workpiece and then raise
or lower the saw until the indicator mark
on the depth scale (17) aligns with the
desired depth mark.
Securely tighten the depth-adjustment
lever (16).
For the proper depth setting, the blade
should extend about 3mm below the
material being cut.
Rip fence (see figure F1-F2)
The rip fence (23) allows you to make accurate
parallel cuts when sawing a workpiece.
Remove the battery.
Slide the rip fence (23) into the rip fence
slots at the front of the saw base.
Adjust the rip fence to the desired length
of cut. Tighten the locking knob (20).
Clamp and support the workpiece securely
before making your cut.
Place the rip fence firmly against the edge
of the workpiece. Doing this will give you a
true cut without pinching the blade.
Be sure that the guiding edge of the
workpiece is straight so you can get a
straight cut.
Rafter hook (see figure G)
Use the rafter hook (15) to hang the saw
from a rafter or beam or other similar secure
structure for temporary storage during work.
The rafter hook (15) can be rotated 90° or
180°.
