5.1 Accensione/Spegnimento

To power on the saw, press the green 'ON' button. To power off, press the red 'OFF' button. Always ensure the saw is off and unplugged before making adjustments or performing maintenance.

5.2 Regolazione dell'altezza della lama

The blade height can be adjusted to suit the thickness of your material or for trench cuts. Use the blade height adjustment wheel located on the front of the saw to raise or lower the blade. Ensure the blade is set to cut approximately 1/8 inch above the workpiece for through cuts.

5.3 Bevel and Miter Angle Adjustment

The saw allows for precise angle adjustments for both bevel and miter cuts.

  • Regolazione smusso: The blade can be tilted up to 45 degrees for bevel cuts. Use the bevel adjustment lever and scale to set the desired angle. The maximum depth of cut at 45 degrees bevel is 2-1/4 inches.
  • Miter Adjustment: The miter gauge allows for angle cuts up to 60 degrees. Adjust the miter gauge to the required angle and secure it before making the cut.

5.4 Rip Cutting

For rip cuts (cutting along the grain), use the adjustable, full-length parallel fence. Position the fence according to the desired width using the measuring rail guide. Ensure the workpiece is firmly against the fence and use the push stick for the final portion of the cut, especially for narrow pieces. The saw offers a 25-1/2 inch rip capacity to the right of the blade.

5.5 Cross Cutting

For cross cuts (cutting across the grain), use the miter gauge. Set the miter gauge to the desired angle and slide it in the table slot. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and feed it slowly through the blade.

5.6 Aspirazione della polvere

The saw features an effective dust extraction system to maintain a cleaner work environment. Connect the supplied 70-14/16 inch hose to the dust port on the saw and to a suitable dust collector or shop vacuum. This helps reduce airborne dust and keeps the cutting line visible.
