2. SETUP & ADJUSTMENTS
Securing The Mitre Saw
The base of the saw has four
mounting holes (1 in each
corner) that can be used to
mount it to a workbench or
mitre saw stand. Use four bolts
(not included) to secure it in
place.
Slide Lock
When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is
not necessary to use the slide mechanism.
In these circumstances, push back the
cutting head and ensure the slide locking
knob is tight to prevent the cutting head
from sliding.
Mitre Angle Adjustments
1. Loosen mitre table lock
2. Rotate the mitre table to the desired
mitre angle (left or right) as shown by
the mitre angle pointer
Note:
The mitre table features positive
click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and
45° for quick setting of common mitre
angles.
3. Tighten mitre table lock at selected angle.
WARNING!
ENSURE THE MITRE TABLE LOCK IS
TIGHT BEFORE MAKING A CUT. FAILURE TO DO SO
MAY RESULT IN THE MITRE TABLE MOVING DURING
OPERATION & CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

Bevel Angle Adjustment
WARNING!
MOVE THE MATERIAL CLAMP TO THE
OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BEVEL DIRECTION. THIS
ALLOWS THE CUTTING HEAD TO TILT THE FULL 45°.
1. Loosen the bevel lock.
2. To bevel
RIGHT
, tilt
the cutting head
slightly left and pull
the bevel release.
Then tilt the cutting
head rightward to the
desired bevel angle.
To bevel
LEFT
, tilt the cutting head to the
desired bevel angle.
3. Tighten the bevel lock to lock the angle in place.
WARNING!
ENSURE THE BEVEL LOCK IS TIGHT
BEFORE MAKING A CUT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN THE CUTTING HEAD MOVING DURING
OPERATION & CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Trenching
Trenching refers to restricting the depth of cut and permits a
“trench” to be cut in the workpiece.
1. Ensure the cutting head is raised, move
the trenching stop to the right as far as it
will go.
2. To adjust the trenching depth rotate the
trenching depth adjustment screw.
3. To check that the blade stops at the
desired position, lower the cutting head
until the trenching stop adjustment
screw touches the trenching stop.
4. When the correct depth is set. Lock it in
position using the trenching depth lock
nut.
Note:
It is recommended to test the depth
set is correct on a scrap piece of wood.
