[. . . ] Safety hints For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed Safety instructions. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off. CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may be bent, restricting full return. [. . . ] Do not use saw blades the disc of which is thicker or the set of which is smaller than the thickness of the riving knife. To remove the saw blade, depress the shaft lock fully to prevent shaft rotation, then use the hex wrench to loosen the hex socket head bolt. 1) Now remove the outer flange, raise the safety cover as much as possible, and remove the saw blade. Install the inner flange, saw blade, outer flange and hex socket head bolt, in that order. Be sure to secure the hex socket head bolt tightly with the shaft lock fully depressed. Make sure that the blade teeth point forward in the same direction as the tool rotation (the arrow on the blade should point in the same direction as the arrow on the tool). Use the socket wrench to loosen the hex head socket bolt for the riving knife adjustment, then raise the safety cover. Move the riving knife up or down over the two protuberances for settings indicated in the illustration, so as to obtain the proper clearance between the riving knife and saw blade. CAUTION: Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted such that: The distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw blade is not more than 5 mm. The toothed rim does not extend more than 5 mm beyond the lower edge of the riving knife. Use a shallow depth of cut when cutting thin workpiece for cleaner, safer cuts. After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever securely. Loosen the thumb nuts in front and back, and tilt the tool to the desired angle for bevel cuts (0 ­ 45°). Secure the thumb nuts tightly in front and back after making the adjustment. The riving knife should always be used except when plugging in the middle of the workpiece. Simply slide the guide rule up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the front of the base. [. . . ] Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform. 1) Ahora quite el collarín exterior, levante la cubierta de seguridad todo lo posible y quite la hoja de sierra.
