Changing the Blade
1.
Ensure the plug is disconnected from the mains power supply.
2.
Ensure the cutting head is raised. If the head lock
down pin is locked in place, pull the head down and
release pin to raise the cutting head.
3.
Raise the lower guard out of the way and loosen the
guard cover screw until it disengages the blade bolt
cover.
4.
Swing the blade bolt cover up and out of the way to
reveal the bolt head in the centre of the blade.
5.
Place the hex key onto the blade bolt in the centre of
the blade
6.
Depress the spindle lock button. To ensure it engages
correctly, rotate the 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 loosen 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.
Note:
Make sure the inner flange stays in place on the
spindle.
8.
Remove the blade bolt followed by the
outer 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. Install the new blade over the spindle and
onto the inner flange
Note:
Ensure the blade is fitted so that
the arrow on the blade matches the same
direction as the arrow on the guard.
10.
Fit the outer flange by placing the cupped side of the flange against the blade
followed by the blade bolt.
11. Place the hex key onto the blade bolt in the centre of the blade
12. Depress the spindle lock button. To ensure it engages correctly, rotate the
hex key until the spindle lock clicks into position.
13. Tighten the blade bolt in the centre of the blade by turning the hex key
anti-clockwise
as the blade bolt is a
left hand thread
.
14. Swing the blade bolt cover back into place and secure it with the guard cover
screw.
15. Make sure the lower guard operates smoothly and properly protects from the
blade before using the saw.
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.
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 THE CORRECT BLADE BUSH THAT
MAY BE REQUIRED SUITS THE SPINDLE AND BLADES THAT
ARE FITTED.
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.

Fence Alignment
Bevel Alignment
Laser Alignment
The fence holds the workpiece in a fixed position while the table and or the blade
assembly are adjusted in a mitre or bevel angle.
To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be perpendicular (at a 90
°
angle) to the
saw blade.
1. Before beginning work, make a test cut on a scrap material with the table set
at 0
°
.
2. Check the cut with an accurate square. You can also reverse the two pieces,
hold the cut ends together, and hold a good straight edge along the side of
the pieces
3. If either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90
°
angle, adjust the fence
before beginning work.
If Fence Needs Adjustment:
1. First unplug the tool
2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it in place using the Lock Down Pin.
3. Lay a carpenters’ square on the turn table one edge along the blade and the
other along the fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible. Note: The square
must contact the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
4. The fence is held in place with bolts at each end. Loosen the bolts slightly
and, gently tap the fence into position using a soft mallet. Retighten the bolts
and make another test cut. Repeat the process until the fence is adjusted
accurately.
5. Once the fence is accurately adjusted, tighten the bolts firmly in place.
Recheck one last time, then proceed to work.
The mitre saw should be set-up fairly accurate out of the box, but if the saw
becomes misaligned, you can follow the instructions below to adjust the tool.
The saw has 2 bump stops that limit the bevel angle to 90
°
and 45
°
. If the bevel
angle becomes inaccurate, these stops can be readjusted by following the steps
below.
1. First unplug the tool and then set the mitre angle to 0
°
and the bevel angle to
90
°.
2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it in place using the Lock Down Pin.
3. Lay a carpenters’ square on the turn table one edge along the blade and the
other along the table. Any inaccuracy should be visible. Note: The square
must contact the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
4. Adjust the upper bevel adjustment screw until the angle between the table
and blade is 90
°
.
5. Now rotate the bevel angle to 45
°
and lay a 45
°
triangle against the table to
check the accuracy of the blade angle.
6. Adjust the lower bevel adjustment screw so that the angle between the table
and blade is 45
°
.
7. Once the fence is accurately adjusted. Recheck the angles one last time,
then proceed to work.
If the laser line is misaligned with the blade cutting line, follow the instructions
below to adjust.
1. Loosen the laser lock nut underneath the mitre saw head
.
2. Adjust the laser adjustment screw until the laser line aligns with the blade
cutting line.
3. Once adjusted, tighten the laser lock nut to secure this position.
