OPERATION & USE
CIRCUIT BREAKER (FIG.11):
Fig.11.
The no-volt switch is fitted with a circuit breaker. Should the
saw blade become snagged during a cut, the circuit breaker
will trip out and cut power to the motor. This will help avoid
the motor from burning out, once the blockage has been
removed and the blade is free again, push button ❀✌ to
reset the circuit breaker. Then the saw can be restarted on
the no-volt switch.

DUST EXTRACTION (FIG.12):
Dust extraction is required when using this machine to
reduce the amount of airborne dust particles. Connect the
port to a suitable vacuum cleaner (Draper Stock No.64674).
NOTE:
When making any cuts, wear safety goggles, ear defenders
and a dust mask.
RIVING KNIFE WITH ANTI-KICK BACK PAWLS (FIG.13):
The riving knife is used to keep the cut open in the wood
behind the saw blade and avoid the saw blade becoming
trapped.

❁✌ and
The riving knife is fitted with anti-kick back pawls
must always remain fitted during cutting operations to avoid
the off cuts kicking back towards the operator.
Using a straight edge, ensure the riving knife is in a straight
line with the saw blade.
REPLACING THE SAW BLADE (FIG.14):
CAUTION:
Ensure the power is switched off and the plug has been
removed from the power supply socket before attempting
any adjustment or replacement operations.
Lower the blade to its lowest position (see page 9). Remove
the saw from the stand or workbench. Turn the saw over so
the underside is easily accessible. Remove the four nuts and
bolts securing the protection vent plate to access the
underside of the work table. Remove the four bolts and
blade cover ❂✌ to gain access to the blade securing flange.
Using the wrenches supplied, hold the flange ❃✌ in place
and remove the securing bolt. Replace the blade, ensuring
