Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. Power supply The machine should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. [. . . ] The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, insert the elbow into the dust spout on the blade case and fit the bag's entry port over the elbow. When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from the machine and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adhering to the insides which might hamper further collection. CAUTION: Before plugging in the machine, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the ``OFF'' position when released. 10) To prevent the trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. This machine is provided with the kerf board in the turn base. If the kerf groove has not yet been cut in the kerf board by the factory, you should cut the groove before actually using the machine to cut a workpiece. Switch on the machine and lower the blade gently to cut a groove in the kerf board. WARNING: It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop. Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn base. This machine is factory adjusted to provide the max. cutting capacity for a 255 mm saw blade. When the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, adjust the depth adjusting bolt by turning it with the socket wrench. The saw blade is lowered by turning the depth adjusting bolt counterclockwise and raised by turning it clockwise. Adjust so that when the handle is in the fully lowered position, there will be a distance of about 126 mm from the front face of the guide fence to the point where the front edge of the blade enters the kerf. With the machine unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle all the way down. Be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base when the handle is lowered completely. When cutting with this machine, the thickness of the blade is cut out of the workpiece as well. Therefore, your cutting line should be on either the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board. Switch on the machine and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering gently into the cut. [. . . ] Should looseness develop at the blade case and arm connection, tighten the hex lock nut using a wrench while holding the bolt with another wrench. After adjusting the hex lock nut, be sure the handle returns automatically to the initial, raised position from any position. If the hex lock nut is too loose, the cutting accuracy will be affected; if it is too tight, it will be hard to work the handle up and down. Note that this is a self locking nut; it is a special type that does not loosen during normal use. [. . . ]
