Cleaning of the lens for the laser light
If the lens for the laser light becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the laser line is no longer
easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the lens carefully
with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum
based cleaners on the lens.
Note: When laser line is dim and almost or entirely invisible
because of the direct sunlight in the indoor or outdoor window
near your work area, relocate the work area to a place not
exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: All of the adjustments for the operation of this machine
@
have been carried out at the factory.

Tips for optimum use
● Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type and size
(fig. L).
● Use hardened steel saw blade (17) for cutting wood,
aluminium, plastic and all sorts of laminated wood.
● Use diamond saw for (16) cutting ceramics and tiles.
● Use carbide-tipped blade (18) for wood and plastic only.
Cutting large panels (fig. M)
● Support panel close to the cut either on floor, table or
@
workbench.
Warning! Set cutting depth so that you cut
through panel and not through support.
● In case parallel guide does not allow desired width of cut,
clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece as a
guide, and use the right side of the foot against this guide.
Splinter-free cutting
● Always face the good side of the workpiece down - fasten
a straight piece of wood on the workpiece by means of 2
clamps.
Cutting particularly tough or abrasive materials
Soft sheet metal
● Always set the depth adjustment to at least 1 mm deeper
than the material thickness to avoid the blade riding up
over the surface. Scrap material is required underneath
the work surface.
● Remove burrs and rust as these impede the feed across
the material.
● Thick beeswax (furniture polish) applied to the base plate
of the tool makes metal cutting easier.
● Only suitable for cutting brass, copper, lead or aluminium.
● Every 2 minutes of metal cutting should be followed by a
rest of at least 3 minutes.
Ceramic tiles, slates etc
● Only use a blade specifically designed for this purpose.
● Always use with a suitable vacuum cleaner or dust
extractor connected as the dust can be hazardous to the
operator and prevent the guard operating correctly.
Plasterboard
● The plunge saw is only recommended for making
occasional cut outs in plasterboard and always use it with
a suitable vacuum cleaner or dust extractor connected.
The dust can prevent the guard operating correctly.
● Conventional tools such as keyhole saws or knives
generally give excellent results, though the plunge saw
can be used if a particularly neat, dust free cut is required
or if there is a danger of cutting pipes or cables.
Maintenance
Your STANLEY FATMAX tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
