5. Blade Check: Verify that the TCT saw blade (190mm x 30mm x 2.4mm x 24 teeth) is correctly installed and secured.

Operating Instructions

General Operation

• Power Connection: Connect the saw to a 220-240V AC power supply.
• Workpiece Placement: Place the workpiece firmly against the fence and on the miter table. Use the 'G' clamp to secure it if necessary.
• Starting the Saw: Press the power switch to start the motor. Allow the blade to reach full speed (5500 RPM no-load) before beginning the cut.
• Making a Cut: Slowly lower the saw arm through the workpiece. Do not force the cut. Once the cut is complete, release the switch and allow the blade to stop before raising the saw arm.
