C] Look after your health — wear S0® ear protectors, safety glasses and a breathing/dust mask. = Never hold the saw at the rear. Remove sawing 8 GBIE PARKSIDE waste, parts of workpieces or clamped objects only when the machine’s mains plug is removed from the mains socket and the saw has come to a standstill. = Do not cut workpieces too small. Your hand must always be at least 10cm away from the saw blade. = Do not attempt to saw extremely small work- pieces. = Ensure that your work area is well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the device in places where there is a danger of fire or explosion, for example near inflammable liquids or gases. = fthe table insert @ is damaged have it replaced immediately. Danger! If the table insert is damaged it could lead to the danger of small objects blocking the saw blade by becoming trapped between the table insert @ and the saw blade. K the table insert is damaged have it replaced immediately by our customer service department. @ To work safely: = Use the machine only for the purposes indicated and within the stipulated performance limits. Do not overload the machine. = Keep the handle clean, dry and free of oil and grease. = Ensure that the automatic blade guard @ is functioning properly and can move freely. Never clamp the automatic blade guard so that it re- mains open. = Always select a saw blade that is suitable for the material you intend to cut. = Support longer workpieces in such a way that they are at the same level as the surface of the saw table ©. Secure the machine after use with the transport lock @. Use the screw clamps (b) or other clamping devices so that an awkwardly shaped workpiece cannot rotate or move whilst you are sawing it. The workpiece must be firmly clamped against the base of the table and the stop plate so that there are no gaps between the turntable and workpiece or between the stop plate and the workpiece.

= Always ensure that all the clamps and stops are firmly held in place = Never saw through more than one workpiece at a time. = Ensure that the saw blade has reached full speed before starting your cut and avoid using too much force. In that way you will prevent the saw blade from being blocked. Æ Operation Assembly Do not connect the chop and mitre saw to the mains before you have worked through the following assembly instructions and completely assembled the device.

1. Slide the lateral support stirrups © into the

openings provided for them on the left and right of the saw table © until they meet the stop and then fully tighten the clamp screws ©.

down to a working surface, pull out the rear support stirrup & as far as possible to provide maximum support to the machine. Safety /Operation Checking and setting your saw Warning! Always disconnect the mains supply (by pulling the plug out of the mains socket) before you change any settings or check the condition of the machine.

1. Parallel saw blade

Check that the saw blade is correctly installed: it must be parallel to the sawing slot in the table. To make any necessary settings proceed as follows; Bring the saw table © into the basic position (0° setting). Release the transport restraint by lightiy pressing the saw motor unit @ down- wards and pulling out the transport lock @. Un- lock the machine by pushing the safety lever @ to the right. Lower the saw motor unit © and check that the side face of the saw blade is parallel with the left hand edge of the sawing slot in the table. The blade and the edge must be absolutely parallel to one another. If necessary you can change the setting by loosening the three mounting screws @ directly behind the saw blade (see Fig. A) using the supplied 6 mm Allen key (d) and bring the saw motor unit @ into parallel alignment. Then retighten the mounting screws.

Itis particularly necessary to check the stop plate @ if it has been removed from the machine and put back again. The stop plate must be perpendicular (at 90°) to the saw blade. This setting can only be made after the saw blade has been set as described above. To check the stop plate ®, we recommend that you use a set square. Set one end of the set square against the stop plate and the other end against the side face of the saw blade. If necessary you can change the setting as follows: Loosen the two screws on the rear face of the stop plate @ using the supplied 6 mm Allen key {d) and bring the stop plate @ into a perpendi- cular (90°) alignment to the side face of the saw blade. Tighten the screws again. PARKSIDE GBIE 9

@® Wear protective gloves! Check the depth of the saw blade by first lowering the saw motor unit D as far down as possible. Then try turning the saw blade manually. It must be able to turn freely. If the saw blade does not turn freely, carry out the necessary adjustment by turning the setting screw @. 4a. Mitre setting 0° If necessary you can adjust the 0° mitre stop. Bring the saw table © into the basic position (0°setting). With the saw motor unit © lowered, compare the alignment of the side face of the saw blade with the workpiece support surface of the table using a set square. To make the adjustment, first loosen the lock nut on the setting screw @ (see Fig. A) and then turn the screw with the supplied 5 mm Allen key (d). Take off the Allen key — readjust until the saw blade is at 90° to the saw table. Tighten the locknut on the setting screw @). The saw blade must be at right angles to the saw table and the scale on the saw motor unit @ must read 0°. 4b. Mitre setting 45° (inclined cut setting) Set the saw table © into the basic position (0° setting). Loosen the setting knob @ and incline the saw motor unit © until the 45° setting on the scale @ on the saw motor unit is reached. Retighten the setting knob @ and lower the saw motor unit @ Use a combination set square to check the angle of the side face of the saw blade with respect to the workpiece support area of the saw table. To make the adjustment first loosen the lock nut on the setting screw @ (see Fig. B) and then turn the screw with the supplied 5 mm Allen key (d). Take off the Allen key — readjust until the saw blade is at 45° to the saw table. Tighten the locknut on the setting screw @.

5. Adjusting the pointer on the scale @

If the pointer when it is in the basic setting is not in line with the 0° marking on the scale then adjust the pointer as follows: 10 GBIE PARKSIDE First make sure that the basic settings 0° and 45° have been carried out correctly as descri- bed in sections 4a and 4b. Loosen the setting knob @ and incline the saw motor unit © into the 45° setting. Loosen the pointer screw with a cross-head screwdriver and adjust the pointer until it is in line with the 45° marking and tighten the screw again. After you have returned the saw motor unit © into the 0° position, the pointer should again be exactly in line with the 0° marking on the scale. If necessary repeat the adjustment process until the pointer is correctly set. Operation Take note of the mains voltage! The voltage must agree with that shown on the machine rating plate (equip- ment shown as 230V can also be connected to 220V).
