ture frames, to cut mouldings, making boxes with slop-
ing sides and for roof framing. Always make a test cut
on a piece of scrap wood before cutting into the good
material.
Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces. (Fig.

To achieve the maximum incline degree on the right side,
remove the fence (19) first.

CHANGING A BLADE
DANGER! Never try to use a blade larger than the stated
capacity of the saw. It might come into contact with the
blade guards.
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer
blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. It
will prevent the blade screw from properly securing the
blade on the spindle.
Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings that may be
required suit the spindle and the blade fitted. (Fig. 39)
Push down on the operating handle (7) and pull the re-
lease knob (6) to disengage the saw arm (5). The release
knob (6) can be turned so that it is held in the retracted
position.
Raise the saw arm (5) to its highest position. (Fig. 40)
Using a Phillips head screwdriver (not supplied) loosen
and remove the Phillips head screw that secures the
guard retraction arm (13) to the rotating blade guard.
(Fig. 41a)
Remove the screw that secures the blade bolt cover (14).
(Fig. 41b)
Pull the rotating blade guard (12) down then swing it up
together with the blade bolt cover. (Fig. 42)
When the rotating blade guard is positioned over the up-
per fixed blade guard it is possible to access the blade
bolt. (Fig. 43)
Hold the rotating guard (12) up and press the spindle
lock button (27). Rotate the blade until the spindle locks.
(Fig. 44)
Use the hex key (21) to remove the blade bolt. (Loosen
in a clockwise direction as the blade bolt has a left hand
thread). (Fig. 45)
Remove the outer blade washer and the blade.
Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner blade washer and the
outer blade washer where they contact the blade.
Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking care that the
inner blade washer sits behind the blade. (Fig. 46)
WARNING: To ensure correct blade rotation,
always install the blade with the arrow printed on the
side of the blade indicating the same direction as the
arrow stamped on upper blade guard.
Replace the outer blade washer.
Depress the spindle lock button (27) and replace the
blade bolt. (Fig. 47)

Use hex key (21) to tighten the blade bolt securely (anti-
clockwise).
Hold the rotating lower blade guard (12) and blade bolt
cover (14) in position and tighten the fixing screws, also
secure the guard retraction arm (13) to the rotating blade
guard.
Check that the blade guard operates correctly and cov-
ers the blade as the saw arm is lowered.
Connect the saw to the power supply and run the blade
to make certain that it is operating correctly. (Fig. 48a,
48b)

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and the plug is removed from the power
point before making any adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
Always wear sturdy gloves when handling or changing
blades as they can be very sharp.
Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has
entered the grills near the motor and around the trigger
switch. Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated
dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst
cleaning.
Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent. (Fig. 49)
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
WARNING: Water must never come into con-
tact with the saw.

GENERAL INSPECTION

Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time. (Fig. 50)
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
