Bench Mounting
The saw base has holes to facilitate bench
mounting. Fix the saw to the bench using 4 hex
bolts and hex nuts. If desired, you can mount
the saw to a piece of 13mm 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.
Adjusting fence extensions
This mitre saw comes with a back fence with
fence extensions at both ends which slide
outwards for additional back support for those
long workpieces. To adjust the position of each
fence extensions:
- loosen the fence extension cap screw using
the supplied hex key.
- Loosen the fence extension rear lock knob.
- Slide the fence extension outwards to the
desired position and retighten the cap screw
and rear lock knob.
Depths of cut stop adjustment
In its normal position, the depth cut stop
permits the saw blade to cut right through a
workpiece. When the saw arm is lifted, the
depth of the cut stop can be pushed towards
the front of the saw so that the depth
adjustment screw contacts the stop as the saw
arm is lowered. This restricts the cut to an
“adjusted depth” in the workpiece. The depth
of cut can be adjusted with the adjustment
screw and locked in position with the lock nut.
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting the bevel angle
This mire saw is capable of dual bevel angles which
means the saw head can be inclined towards the
right or the left. To adjust the saw head to any
bevel angle;
- Loosen the bevel lock knob and pull the positive
stop adjustment knob outwards as shown. At this
point, the saw head can be inclined to any angle
you desire. If you require a predetermined bevel
angle of 0
°
, Push the adjustment knob inwards
and pivot the saw head until it stops at 0
°. Once
the desired bevel angle is obtained, it is very
important that you retighten the bevel lock knob.
Setting the blade square with the table
- make sure that the electrical plug is removed
from the main power supply.
- Push the saw head down to its lowest position,
then pull and turn the head release knob to hold the
saw head in the transport position.
- Loosen the mire lock handle
- Rotate the table until the pointer is positioned at
0°.
- Retighten the mire lock handle.
- Loosen the bevel lock knob at the rear of the
machine and set the saw arm at 0° bevel (the blade
at 90° to the mitre table). Tighten the bevel lock
knob.
- Place a square against the table and the flat part of
the blade.
Note
: Make sure that the square contacts the flat
part of the saw blade not the teeth.
- Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade to
table alignment at several points.
- The edge of the square and the saw blade should
be parallel.
- If the saw blade angles away from the square
adjust as follows;
