Setting of the Angular Stops to 45° (Fig. 4)
• For setting the angular stop to 45° move the
cutting head to the left and adjust the screw (b)
with the Allen key until the 45° position on the
scale (a) is reached.
Adjusting the Fence
• Lower the cutting head and push in the lock pin.
Make sure the table is in 0 mitre position.
• Place a combination square against the fence
and next to the saw blade.
• If the blade does not contact the square, loosen
the screws.
• Adjust the fence so that the fence has full
contact with the square. Tighten the screws.
Connecting to the Power Supply
Check that the power supply and outlet used are
in accordance with your mitre saw. Have a look at
the rating plate of the motor or the rating on the
mitre saw.
Any changes should always be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
This is a double insulated tool which eliminates
the need for an earthed power supply system.
WARNING! Avoid contact with the terminals on
the plug when installing (removing) the plug
to (from) the power supply outlet. Contact will
cause a severe electrical shock.
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 overheating 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.
Mounting the Tool
Note:
We highly recommend that you bolt this mitre
saw securely to a work bench to ensure maximum
stability of your machine.
• Locate and mark the four bolt holes on the
bench.
• Drill the bench with a ø 10 mm drill bit
• Bolt the mitre saw on to the bench with bolts,
washers and nuts. Note that these fasteners are
not supplied with the machine.
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 clamp 16 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 entire table and is labelled by ”No
Hands” symbols.
WARNING! To avoid injury from materials
being thrown, unplug the saw to avoid
accidental starting, and then remove small
materials.
Chop Cut (Fig. 5)
• For chop cutting, slide the cutting head to the
rear position as far as it will go, and lock the
carriage (a) using the lock handle (b).
Mitre Cut
• Make sure the extension fence is secured in the
correct position.
• Release the mitre locking button and move the
table to the desired angle. Every five degrees,
angles from 0° to 45° can be fast and precisely
set. Let the mitre button snap in and fix the angle
with the clamping screw.
• Activate the switch, then press the blade guard
lock lever to lower the cutting head down.
