[. . . ] If required, tighten its fastenings with the spanner (f) supplied. ­ check that any accessories used are suitable for the saw's maximum speed (see Technical information). Always check that the saw runs correctly under no load first. If there are any unusual noises or vibrations switch the saw off immediately and pull the plug out of the mains socket. [. . . ] Always switch off the power supply (pull out the plug) when you carry out adjustments or check the set-up of the machine. Check that the saw blade is correctly set up. It must be parallel to the saw notch on the table. To make any necessary adjustment, follow this procedure: Move the saw table into the home position (0° - setting). Bring down the cutting head and compare the alignment of the side face of the saw blade with the left-hand edge of the saw notch on the table. The blade and the edge must be absolutely parallel to one another. Changing the setting ­ if required, is done by loosening the three bolts directly behind the saw blade (see Fig / ) with the Allen key (e) and moving the cutting arm so that it is parallel. Stop plate Check the stop plate particularly if it has been removed from the machine and replaced. The stop plate must be perpendicular (at 90°) to the saw blade. Adjustment of the stop plate can only be carried out after the saw blade has been set parallel as above. We recommend that you use a set square to check the stop plate. Place one face of the set square against the stop plate and the other against the side face of the blade. If required, the adjustment is done as follows; Unscrew the two bolts at the rear of the stop plate and set the stop plate so that it is at 90° to the side face of the saw blade. Saw blade depth Check the saw blade depth with the cutting head lowered as far down as possible. The blade must always be able to be moved freely. Test that no teeth come into contact with any of the metal surfaces by turning the blade lightly by hand. If the blade does not turn freely, carry out the adjustment as follows: Unscrew the lock nut (see Fig. / ) and turn the adjuster screw, until the blade runs freely. Then retighten the lock nut. 4a. Mitre setting 0° If required you can adjust the 0° mitre stop setting. Move the saw table into the 90° home position (0° - setting) and with the cutting head lowered, compare the position of the side face of the saw blade with the table's support surface. To adjust, unscrew the lock nut (see Fig. / ) and turn the screw until it touches the casting and the saw blade is at 90° to the saw table. [. . . ] For the best results do this straight after the work has been completed. · Do not allow liquids to get inside the saw. Use a soft cloth for cleaning the housing. Do not use petrol, solvents or cleaners that might attack the plastic. TIPS AND TRICKS · If you often wish to use the saw in a lot of different places we recommend that you mount it on a 20mm thick plywood base. [. . . ]
