Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with
instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the
equipment’s construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
6. Before starting the equipment
6.1 General information
• Allcoversandsafetydeviceshavetobeproperlyfitted
before the machine is switched on.
• Itmustbepossibleforthebladetorunfreely.
• Whenworkingwithwoodthathasbeenprocessedbefore,
watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or screws etc.
• BeforeyouactuatetheOn/Offswitch,makesurethat
the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the machine’s
moving parts run smoothly.
• Beforeyouconnectthemachinetothepowersupply,
make sure the data on the rating plate is the same as that
for your mains.
6.2 Mounting the saw on a workbench (Fig. 2)
1. It is better to mount the saw on a solid wood workbench
rather than on a weak plywood stand where vibrations
and noise are certain to be a nuisance.
2. The tools and hardware needed to mount the saw on a
work bench are not supplied with the saw. Be sure to use
equipment of at least the following size:
Item Quantity
Hex screws M8 ___________________________________4
Gaskets Ø 8 mm __________________________________4
Washers Ø 8 mm __________________________________4
Hex nuts M8 _____________________________________8
3. A sound-absorbing foam rubber mat is not supplied with
the saw. It is strongly recommended to use such a mat,
however, in order to minimize vibrations and noise.
Do not overtighten the screws. Leave enough scope for the
foam rubber mat to develop a good absorbing effect.
Mounting the saw on a workbench, see Figure (2).

The blade can be inserted in slot a or b;
Slot a: For cuts along the axis of the radial arm.
Slot b: For cuts across the axis of the radial arm.
Tension the blade by turning the clamping screw (14)
anticlockwise (right-hand thread).
6.3.3 Tilting the saw table (Fig. 8)
• Undothelockingscrew(5).
• Tiltthetable(7)totheleftuntiltheindicator(17)pointsto
the required angle value on the scale (6).
Important: For precision work you should first carry out a
trial cut and then re-adjust the tilt angle as required.
7. Operation
7.1 Please note:
• Yoursawdoesnotcutwoodautomatically.Forcuttingto
occur, you have to guide the wood against the blade.
• Theteethcutonlyonthedownstrokeoftheblade.
• Youhavetoguidethewoodslowlyagainsttheblade
because the teeth are very small.
• Everynewuserneedsacertaintrainingperiod.Youare
certain to break a number of blades at the beginning.
• Whencuttingthicktimber,beparticularlycarefulnotto
bend or twist the blade. This will help to prolong blade life.
