Remove the locking ‘U’ clamps and bolts from the extension/support frames, fit the cut length stop
mounting onto the rear arm of the right hand support frame. Introduce the frames into their
appropriate housings in each side of the machine, replace the ‘U’ clamp onto the rear arm
immediately inside the chassis frame, push the arm forward until it engages in the second housing,
secure the ‘U’ clamp and locking bolt on the arm tight against the inside of the chassis frame( or in
such a position that the arm cannot pull out of the second housing.) When you are happy that
everything is correctly positioned, tighten the locknut on the ‘U’ clamp bolt. (See figs D & Da)
Attach the cut length stop to its mounting bracket, (if the stop is not required at this time merely ‘flip’ it
up over and out of the way). Fit the holding clamp into the left or right housing (dependent on your
task) at the rear of the fence.
Now you’re ready to go!
BUT FIRST………
read the instructions.
Having unpacked your saw and its accessories please dispose of any unwanted packaging properly.

Initial Set Up...
Identification & Parts Description...
Lift the saw clear of the box using the two hand grips moulded into the sides of the chassis, and set
on a clear flat surface, taking care not to trap or pinch the power cable under the chassis. Remove the
other items from the box. Attach the sawdust collection bag to the dust extraction duct to the rear of
the operating handle. (See figs A,B,C)

Fence
This is an aluminium casting bolted to the rear of the saw table. It has
various cut-outs and shapes machined and moulded into it to allow the
mitre, tilt or compound cuts to be made. To all intents and purposes it is
not adjustable, except during main setup procedures.
Turntable locking clamp
Turning the knob clockwise will drive the threaded rod through its
housing to clamp against the table, clamping the turntable in position.
Ensure the clamp is always tightened before operating the saw.
DO NOT
over tighten.
Tilt clamping lever
Turning this lever anti-clockwise will release the clamp mechanism
and scale
allowing the saw to be tilted up to 45 degrees left. The angle is read
from the scale. Turning the lever clockwise will clamp the tilt mechanism
securely. Always check that the tilt clamping mechanism is tight before
operating the saw.
Dust extraction outlet
A 38mm dust extraction outlet that allows the saw to be connected to a
suitable extraction system. If dust extraction is not available, a sawdust
collecting bag is supplied for ‘quick’ jobs.
Motor brush caps
Two screw-in plastic brush caps one on either side of the motor body
that allow the brushes to be inspected or changed.
Laser
The laser is a class 2 device that provides a convenient visual
guide for lining up the saw blade with a line marked on the
timber. It is operated by an On/Off push button toggle switch
mounted in the operating handle.
WARNING: DO NOT look directly into the laser beam or into the opening from which
the beam is emitted. NEVER allow the beam to strike reflective surfaces, or be
reflected into the eyes of people or animals. Even short visual contacts can cause
optical damage.
The machine has been fully and accurately set up at the factory. If, however, you are not
happy that the saw is correctly set, or that it has been put out of true by an accident on site
e.g. a ‘knock’ or a ‘drop’ etc., carry out the setting up procedures as follows:-
1. Set the table to zero mitre angle. Clean the table, the back fence and the saw blade,
removing all chips, shavings, dust and resin build up. Ensure the saw blade is not distorted,
and the chassis is sitting on a clean flat surface.
Perpendicular (Square) Adjustment
Set the saw to zero mitre angle by engaging the preset “click” stop in the mitre scale and
set the gauge mark to 0˚ degrees, (See fig Ea) trip the lower blade guard latch and pull the
saw over to its full extent. Place an engineers square against the fence and check that the
blade is perpendicular to the fence, making sure that the square is not in contact with any
of the teeth. (See fig E) If adjustment is required follow the instruction on the next page.
