Changing the Blade
1. Ensure the plug is disconnected from the mains power supply.
2.
Ensure the cutting head is raised. If the head
locking pin is locked in place, pull the head
locking pin and gently raise the cutting head.
3.
Using the 5mm hex key loosen and remove
the screw that secures the blade bolt cover.
4.
Pull the lower guard up together with the
blade bolt cover. When the lower guard is
positioned over the upper guard , it is now
possible to access the blade bolt.
5.
Insert the 6mm hex key provided into the
blade bolt in the centre of the blade.
6.
Depress the spindle lock button. To ensure it
engages correctly, rotate the 6mm hex key until
the spindle lock clicks into position.
Note:
The spindle lock button holds the blade in
place when using the hex key to change the blade.
7.
Loosen the bolt in the centre of the blade by
turning the hex key
clockwise
as the blade bolt
is a
left hand thread.
8.
Remove the blade bolt and the outer blade
flange. The blade can now be removed by pulling
away from the spindle. Put it aside ready to use
in the reassembly of the new blade.
9.
Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking care
that the inner flange sits behind the blade.

blade flange and blade bolt. Use the hex key to tighten the blade bolt
securely (tighten in an anti-clockwise direction).
11.
Lower the upper guard, hold the lower guard and blade bolt cover in position
while you refit & tighten the fixing screw removed in step 3.

SPARE PARTS
CAUTION!
NEVER TRY TO USE A BLADE THAT IS LARGER
THAN THE STATED CAPACITY OF THE MITRE SAW. IT MIGHT
COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE BLADE GUARDS AND RISK
PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MITRE SAW. THIS
WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
CAUTION!
NEVER USE A BLADE THAT IS TOO THICK TO
ALLOW THE OUTER BLADE WASHER TO ENGAGE WITH
THE FLATS ON THE SPINDLE. IT WILL PREVENT THE BLADE
SCREW FROM PROPERLY SECURING THE BLADE ONTO THE
SPINDLE.
CAUTION!
ENSURE THAT ANY SPACERS AND SPINDLE
RINGS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED SUIT THE SPINDLE AND
BLADE THAT ARE FITTED.

Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the mitre saw will
spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as this
happens. They should be replaced prior to recommencing
use of the mitre saw. Carbon brushes are a wearing
component of the mitre saw therefore not covered under
warranty. Continuing to use the mitre saw when carbon
brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent
damage to the mitre saw. Carbon brushes will wear out
after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take the
mitre saw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost
replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Note:
Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or
injuries caused by the repair of the mitre saw by an unauthorised
person or by mishandling of the mitre saw.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
WARNING!:
BEFORE CLEANING YOUR MITRE SAW
OR CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE,
MAKE SURE THAT THE MOTOR IS OFF AND THE TOOL
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
WARNING!:
TO ENSURE THE CORRECT BLADE
ROTATION ALWAYS INSTALL THE BLADE WITH THE
BLADE TEETH POINTING DOWNWARDS. ENSURE THE
ARROW DIRECTION ON THE BLADE CORRESPONDS
WITH THE ARROW ON THE UPPER BLADE GUARD.
