on saw blade) and the direction-of-rotation arrow above
the blade guard match.
NOTE: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the
blade clamping washer to engage with the flat side of
the spindle.
The table below gives you advice on how to
choose correct blade.
Blade type
Cutting material
TCT 24T Wood and aluminum
HSS 44T
Thin sheet steel and
aluminum, PVC pipe, plastic
Diamond
Concrete, marble, tile ,
cement backerboard
Recommended maximum material thickness
Wood 27mm
Aluminum 3mm
PVC pipe (radius) 13mm
Tile 8mm
Sheet steel 0.91mm(20 gauge)
2. PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig. D)
The parallel guide is used for making cuts parallel to a
work-piece edge at a chosen distance and can be used
from either side of the base plate (9). Slide the parallel
guide (19) arm through the fixture(11) to achieve the
required cutting distance and tighten the clamping
screw (13) with the small "L" spanner to lock into
position. Do not over tighten. The parallel guide enables
exact cuts along a workpiece edge and can also be
used for cutting parallel strips.
NOTE: Since the parallel guide clamping screw is
spring-loaded, the operator should take care when
unscrewing it completely as to avoid losing the screw
and spring.
3. SAWDUST REMOVAL (See Fig. E)
Your saw includes a vacuum adapter (20) that attaches
to the dust extraction outlet (7) on the saw. This
adapter port can be attached to a vacuum cleaner
(sold separately). The use of the vacuum is strongly
recommended as it keeps the work area clean,
dramatically increases cut visibility and reduces
airborne dust. It also keeps dust out of the working
elements of the guard.
