Fence

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. 

Make sure that no part of the 
tool contacts the upper fence 
when bevel or compound mitre 
cutting. Always make a dry run 
with the saw turned off and 
check clearance. 

Note:

 Tighten the upper fence lock before 

making a cut. 

The fence may become misaligned over time, so always perform a 
test cut on a scrap piece of material beforehand. Follow the steps 
below to re-align the fence.

1.  With the saw switched off 

and unplugged from the 
power source, set the mitre 
angle to 0° and loosen the 
4 screws on the top of the 
fence.

2.  Flip the safety guard 

lever, lower the cutting 
head and hold it in place 
using the lock down pin.

3.  Hold a set square against the blade and 

adjust the fence till it lines up against the 
square.

Note:

 The square must contact the blade, not 

the teeth, for an accurate reading.

4.  Tighten the fence screws to lock it in place.

Material Clamp

Depending on the cut, the 
material clamp will need 
to be mounted on the 
appropriate side. When 
performing bevel cuts, the 
work clamp must be on 
the opposite side of the 
bevel (otherwise it will 
interfere with the cutting 
action).

WARNING! 

ENSURE THE MATERIAL IS SECURELY 

CLAMPED BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS. FAILURE TO 
SECURE THE MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THE WORKPIECE 
TO FLY OFF AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

Laser Guide

WARNING! 

DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY AT THE LASER 

BEAM.

A laser line is projected onto the material you wish to cut, 
providing an exact guide for the cut.

1.   To switch the laser guide on, press the 

laser guide switch to the On (I) position.

2.   To switch the laser guide off, press 

the laser guide switch to the Off (0) 
position.

Note:

 Ensure that the laser guide is 

switched off when the saw is not in use.

Note:

 Ensure that the laser is cleaned 

after every use or the laser guide will not 
be visible.

Workpiece

Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table 
with one edge securely against the rear 
fence.

Note: 

If the workpiece is warped, ensure 

the concave (curves inward) side is against 
the rear fence.

WARNING! 

ADEQUATE SUPPORT SUCH AS TABLE 

EXTENSIONS, SAW HORSES, ETC. MUST BE USED FOR 
A WORKPIECE THAT IS WIDER OR LONGER THAN THE 
TABLE TOP. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY LEAD TO INJURY 
OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL.

It is extremely important to always secure 
the workpiece properly and tightly with the 
material clamp.

Spindle Lock

WARNING! 

NEVER PRESS WHEN BLADE IS ROTATING.

The spindle lock prevents the blade in the 
saw from rotating. Depress and hold the 
spindle lock while installing, changing, or 
removing the blade.
