Betjeningsvejledning
Justering af skæredybde
To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the depth adjustment lever, move the base plate up or down to the desired depth (up to 2-9/16 inches), and then securely tighten the lever. For optimal performance and safety, set the blade depth so that the blade extends approximately 1/8 inch below the workpiece.
Justering af skråvinkel
For angled cuts, loosen the bevel adjustment lever, tilt the saw base to the desired angle (up to 56 degrees), and then securely tighten the lever. Always ensure the bevel scale is clearly visible and set accurately.
At lave et snit
- Sørg for, at arbejdsemnet er sikkert klampog stabil.
- Position the saw with the front of the base plate resting on the workpiece, ensuring the blade is not touching the material.
- Engage the trigger lock and press the trigger to start the saw. Allow the blade to reach full speed (5400 RPM) before beginning the cut.
- Slowly and steadily guide the saw through the material, maintaining a firm grip with both hands.
- Når snittet er færdigt, slippes aftrækkeren og klingen stopper helt, før saven løftes fra emnet.
Opretholdelse
Rensning
Regularly clean the saw's ventilation openings to prevent overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals, as they may damage plastic parts.
Bladpleje
Inspect the blade before each use for sharpness, cracks, or missing teeth. A dull or damaged blade can cause kickback and reduce cutting efficiency. Replace damaged blades immediately. Keep blades clean and free of pitch buildup.
Generel inspektion
Periodically check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Ensure the blade guards operate freely and return to their closed position automatically. Inspect the base plate for any damage or warping.
