ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION!
Before carrying out any adjustment or maintenance task and before cleaning the machine or
replacing the blade, be sure that it is off and disconnected from any current source.
After carrying out all the adjustments, be sure that all wrenches and tools are away from the
machine, and that all screws, bolts and locking devices are correctly blocked.
Do not use the mitre saw before having followed these procedures.
While carrying out these adjustments, check that all parts of the mitre saw correctly work and
are in good conditions.
Every damage or broken part must be replaced by a qualified person before use.
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The maximum cutting depth of the saw blade must be adjusted in order to prevent the saw blade
from spoiling by getting in contact with the base.
1. Put the head in its lowest position and keep it in this position.
2. Block the inclination locking lever at 0°.
3. Tighten the workbench’s locking handle
10 Fig. 1 and the lock screw 14 Fig. 2 of the radial bars
that move the mitre saw.
4. Make the saw blade turn by hand to ensure that it rotates without obstacles.
A.Adjustment of the depth stop of the saw blade
