4. Setup

Blade Installation

1. Ensure the saw is unplugged from the power source.
2. Press and hold the blade locking button to secure the spindle.
3. Using the appropriate wrench, loosen the arbor nut by turning it counter-clockwise.
4. Remove the outer flange and the old blade (if applicable).
5. Place the new 7 1/4" (184 mm) carbide blade onto the arbor, ensuring the teeth are pointing in the direction of rotation indicated by the arrow on the saw.
6. Replace the outer flange and tighten the arbor nut clockwise while holding the blade locking button. Do not overtighten.

Adjusting Cutting Depth

The cutting depth can be adjusted to suit the thickness of your workpiece.

1. Loosen the depth adjustment lever.
2. Raise or lower the base plate to achieve the desired cutting depth. For optimal performance and safety, the blade should extend approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the workpiece.
3. Tighten the depth adjustment lever securely.

Adjusting Bevel Angle

The saw can make bevel cuts from 0° to 45°.

1. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever.
2. Tilt the base plate to the desired angle (0° for straight cuts, up to 45° for bevel cuts).
3. Tighten the bevel adjustment lever securely.

5. Operating Instructions

Always ensure the work area is clear and the workpiece is securely clamped before operating the saw.

Starting and Stopping the Saw

• To Start: Plug the saw into a 120V ~ 60Hz power outlet. Press the safety lock button (if present) and then squeeze the trigger switch.
• To Stop: Release the trigger switch. The blade will stop rotating.

Making Cuts

Always allow the blade to reach full speed (4500 RPM) before beginning a cut.

• Straight Cuts: Align the saw's base plate with your cutting line. Apply steady, forward pressure, allowing the saw to cut at its own pace. Do not force the saw.
• Bevel Cuts: Set the desired bevel angle. Maintain a firm grip and guide the saw along the line, being mindful of the altered cutting path due to the angle.
• Cutting Wood: The ADIR 810 is ideal for cutting various types of wood. Ensure the wood is free of nails or other obstructions that could damage the blade.
