handling or any other reason, follow the steps below
to adjust your saw. Once these adjustments are
made, they will remain accurate. Follow these
instructions carefully to maintain the accuracy your
saw is capable of.
Adjusting the Miter Scale
Place a square against the saw blade and guide (do
not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
This will cause the fine adjustment to fail). Loosen the
square fastener button and rotate the square arm until
the square edge locks in the 0º position. Do not press
the fastener button. If the saw blade is not exactly
perpendicular to the guide, loosen the two screws that
hold the square scale to the base and move the scale /
square arm assembly to the right or left until the blade
is perpendicular to the guide, as measured with
square. Re-tighten the two screws. Do not pay
attention to reading the square pointer at this point.
Protector Activation and Visibility
The saw blade guard is designed to lift automatically
when
the arm bends down and covers the disc when
the arm rises.
The guard can be lifted manually when installing and
removing the cutting disc or when necessary
inspection of the saw.
NEVER LIFT THE CUTTING DISK PROTECTOR
WHEN THE SAW IS IN OPERATION.
NOTE:
Certain special cuts require you to lift the
guard manually. To do this, simply place your right
thumb on the top of the protector and slide it upwards
to generate enough space for the piece to pass. Never
remove the protector or prevent normal operation.
Connect the saw to any electrical outlet. Refer to the
rating plate on your tool for the proper voltage. Make
sure the cable is not on your way.
Switch:
Turn on the saw, press the trigger switch. To turn the
tool off, release the switch. There is no mechanism to
lock the switch in the on position. Hand and Body
Positioning
The proper positioning of the body and hands during
the operation of the miter saw will make cutting easier,
more accurate and safer. Never place your hands near
the cutting area. Place your hands no closer than 15
cm from the blade. Hold the piece firmly against the
table and the guide while cutting.
Keep your hands in position until the trigger has been
released and the blade has come to a complete stop.
ALWAYS DO A TEST (DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER) BEFORE MAKING ANY FINISHING CUT,
SO YOU CAN CHECK THE BLADE PATH.
Cutting with your saw
NOTE:
Although your saw cuts wood and many other
non-ferrous materials, we will limit ourselves to
discussing only wood cutting. The same guidelines
apply to other materials. DO NOT CUT FERROUS
MATERIALS (containing iron and steel) OR
MASONRY MATERIALS WITH THIS SAW.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE BLADES.
Cross sections
Cutting multiple pieces is not recommended, but can
be done safely by ensuring that each piece is securely
fastened against the table or the guide.
A cross-section is made by cutting the wood in the
opposite direction to the fibers at any angle. A straight
cross section is made with the miter arm in the 0º
position. Set the square to zero, hold the wood firmly
on the table against the guide. Turn the saw on by
pulling the trigger. When the saw starts to pick up
speed (after approximately 1 second), gently lower
your arm to perform the
cut on the wood.
