ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

CONNECTING THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 6)

Dust and chips will be produced during operation that can harm your

health and create a mess in your work area. It is recommended to extract

the sawdust by connecting your tool to a dust extraction system using the

included dust extraction hose.

1. Disconnect your saw from the power source.

2. Attach the dust extraction hose to the dust port on the right side of your

tool. Secure the connection using the wing lock (Fig. 9).

3. Connect the rubber port end of the hose to a suitable dust extraction

system. The outer diameter of the hose rubber port is 1 to 1-1/2 inches.

4. Turn on the dust collector before cutting to keep saw dust away from

your lungs and the work area.

INSTALLING THE RIP FENCE

When making a rip cut along a straight edge, it is recommended

to clamp a straight edge to the workpiece or use the included rip

fence. To install the rip fence onto your saw:

1. Loosen the fence lock knob on the front of the base plate.

2. Insert the rip fence from the left side of the tool through all

three slots on the base plate.

3. Adjust the rip fence to the desired width of cut indicated by

the cutting guide indicator.

4. Tighten the fence lock knob to secure the rip fence in place.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

1. Prepare the work space and position power cords away from the cutting area. Connect your saw to a dust extrac-

tion system (see the previous section).

2. Select and install the correct saw blade for the material to be cut (see page 10). Check to ensure that the saw blade

is sharp. Set the correct depth of cut for your workpiece (see page 11).

3. Draw a guideline along the desired path of the cut on the workpiece surface.

4. Place the workpiece with the “good” side down (the saw blade cuts upward through the material, and may “blow

out” the top side) on a flat supporting surface. Secure the workpiece in place with clamps or vises. To prevent cutting

into the support surface, place sufficient scrap material under the workpiece.

5. Wear safety glasses, a dust mask and hearing protection. Do not wear loose clothing or jewlery, and tie back

long hair to avoid getting anything caught in the tool.
