Turning on and off
The saw base has holes in each corner to facilitate bench mounting.
1. Place the saw on a level, horizontal bench or work table using bolts (not supplied)
and fix the saw to the bench using 4 bolts.
2. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 1/2 ” (13 mm) or thicker plywood
which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and
re-clamped.
CAUTION.
Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped as an uneven surface
can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
RELEASE KNOB
The release knob (4) is provided for holding the cutting head down while transporting
or storing the mitre saw.
The saw must never be used with the release knob locking the head down.
MITRE TABLE LOCKS
The mitre table locks (20) are used to lock the table at the desired mitre angle.
The mitre saw cuts from 0 ° to 45 ° both left and right. To adjust the mitre angle loosen
the mitre table locks (20) (21) and rotate the mitre table to the desired position.
The mitre table features positive click stops at 0 °, 15 °, 22.5 °, 30 ° and 45 ° for quick
setting of common mitre angles.
BEVEL LOCK
The bevel lock (12) is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle. The mitre saw
bevel cuts from 0 ° to 45 ° to the left. To adjust the bevel angle loosen the bevel lock
and adjust the saw arm to the desired bevel angle.
SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
The spindle lock button (22) prevents the blade in the saw from rotating. Depress and
hold the spindle lock button while installing, changing, or removing the blade.
ROTATING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The rotating lower blade guard (8) provides protection from both sides of the blade. It
retracts over the upper blade guard (6) as the saw is lowered into the workpiece.
Bench mounting
1. To turn the saw on press switch lock (34) to left and depress and hold the on/off
trigger switch (19)
2. To turn the saw off release the switch lock (34) and on/off trigger switch (19).
Turning on and off
1. Fit the dust bag (11) to the dust extraction port.
2. A vacuum dust extraction device can be connected to the dust extraction port. Use a
suitable vacuum adapt or if necessary. The dust extraction port has an internal diameter
of 40 mm.
Dust extraction
1. Make sure that the battery is removed from the power point.
2. Push the saw arm (3) down to its lowest position and engage the release knob (4) to
hold the saw arm in the transport position.
3. Loosen the mitre locks (20) and lifting up the mitre latch (21).
4. Rotate the table (16) until the pointer is positioned at 0 °.
5. Release mitre latch (21) and tighten the mitre locks (20).
6. Loosen the bevel lock (12) and set the saw arm (3) at 0 ° bevel (the blade at 90 ° to
the mitre table). Tighten the bevel lock (12).
7. Place a set square against the table (16) and the flat part of the blade.
8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several points.
9. The edge of the set square and the saw blade should be parallel.
10. If the saw blade angles away from the set square, adjust as follows.
11. Use an 10 mm wrench or adjustable wrench to loosen the lock nut securing the 0 °
bevel adjustment screw (29). Also, loosen the bevel lock (12).
12. Adjust the 0 ° bevel adjustment screw (29) using a 4 mm hex key to bring the saw
blade into alignment with the square.
13. Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the pointer of the bevel scale (13) and adjust
the position of the pointer so that it accurately indicates zero on the scale. Retighten the
screw.
14. Retighten the bevel lock (12) and the lock nut securing the 0 ° bevel adjustment
screw (29).
