Using an Extension Lead
The use of any extension lead will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and possible motor burn-out, ask advice from a
qualified electrician to determine the minimum wire size
of the extension lead.
The extension lead should be equipped with an earthed
type plug that fits the power supply outlet at one end,
and with an earthed type socket that fits the plug of this
machine at the other end.
Operating the tool
WARNiNG! Never connect the plug to the power source outlet
until all installations and adjustments are completed and
you have read and understood the safety and operational
instructions.
Basic Pullover Mitre Saw Operations
• Always use the clamp 17 to hold the work piece firmly.
2 holes are provided for the clamp.
• Always position the work piece against the fence. Any
piece that is bowed or warped and cannot be held flat
on the table or against fence may trap the blade and
should not be used.
• Never place hands near the cutting area. Keep hands
outside the ”No Hands Zone” which includes the en-
tire table and is labelled by ”No Hands” symbols.
WARNiNG! to avoid injury from materials being thrown, un-
plug the saw to avoid accidental starting, and then remove
small materials.
Chop Cut (Fig. 6)
• For chop cutting, slide the cutting head to the rear
position as far as it will go, and lock the carriage 1 by
the lock handle 2.
Mitre Cut
• Make sure that the contact surface is secured in the
correct position.
• Loosen the locking handle (12), then press the lock
lever (24) and move the table to the desired angle.
The left angular position can be set continuously from
0° to 60° while the right position can be set from 0°
to 52.5°.
• Various lock levers facilitate the adjustment.
• Release the lock lever (24) and fix the angle with the
locking handle (12).
• Press the lock button (22), then the trigger switch (4)
and the clamping lever of the saw blade guard (3).
• Now lower the cutting head down gently to the work
piece. (Fig.1)
Bevel Cut
• Loosen the bevel lock handle and move the cutting
head to the desired angle. Tighten the bevel lock han-
dle.
• Activate the switch, then press the blade guard lock
lever to lower the cutting head down.
Compound Cut
• A compound cut is a combination of mitre cut and
bevel cut. Refer to the above procedures to perform
this cut.
Base Moulding
• Base moulding can be cut vertically against fence or
flat on the table. Follow the table below for reference.

Crown Moulding Cut
• Crown moulding can only be cut flat on the table us-
ing this mitre saw.
• This mitre saw has special mitre stops of 31.6° left
and right and a bevel stop of 33.9° for a special crown
moulding 1 i.e. 52° between the back of the moulding
and the top flat surface that fits against the ceiling;
38° between the back of the moulding and the bottom
flat surface that fits against the wall. Refer to the fol-
lowing table for this crown moulding cut.

Note:
• These special stops cannot be used with 45° crown
moulding.
• Since most rooms do not have angles of exactly 90°,
fine tuning is needed and always take a test cut to
confirm the correct angles.
Pullover Cut
WARNiNG:
1. Never pull the cutting head assembly and spinning blade
