Mitre Saw
Page 6
Power Trigger and Plunge Release
The power trigger turns on the saw but also releases the motor head
to plunge downward. To help prevent accidental starting of the saw,
the trigger lock must be pushed to release the trigger to power the
saw.
To start the saw (activate the sawblade), press the trigger lock and
squeeze the trigger. The saw head can then be plunged downward.
To plunge the saw head down without starting the saw, squeeze the
power trigger, but do not press the trigger lock.
Using the Hold Down Clamp
The hold down clamp fits in a socket on either the left or right sides of the saw. To insert or remove
the clamp, rotate it to the rear to unlock it from the socket, as shown in the first image below. To
lock the clamp in its socket, rotate it to the forward position, as shown in the centre image below.
To secure the workpiece, press down on the green knob and rotate the locking handle down, as
shown in the image on the right, below. To release the clamp, rotate the locking lever up.
Setting the Mitre Angle
A mitred cut is where the saw head is rotated side-to-
side. The saw is capable of mitring 50° to the left and 60°
to the right. Positive stops are located at 0, 22½, 30 and
45°.
1. Release the mitre lock by lifting up on the handle.
2. Press down on the mitre stop release lever and rotate
the mitre to the desired angle.
