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 lock down pin and gently raise the cutting head.
3. Raise the lower guard out of the way and hold it.
4.
Using the 5mm Hex Key loosen the guard cover screw
until it disengages the blade bolt cover.
5.
Swing the blade bolt cover up and out of the way to
reveal the bolt head in the centre of the blade.
6.
Place the 6mm Hex Key onto the blade bolt in the
centre of the blade
7.
Depress the spindle lock button. To ensure it
engages correctly, rotate the Hex Key until the
spindle lock clicks into position.
Note:
T
he spindle lock button holds the blade in place
when using the 6mm Hex Key to change the blade.
8.
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.
9.
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.
10. Install the new blade over the spindle and
onto the inner flange
11.
Replace the outer flange by placing the
cupped side of the flange against the
blade followed by the blade bolt.
12. Place the 6mm Hex Key provided onto the
blade bolt in the centre of the blade
13 Depress the spindle lock button. To ensure it engages correctly, rotate the
Hex Key until the spindle lock clicks into position.
14. Tighten the blade bolt in the centre of the blade by turning the Hex Key
ant-
clockwise
as the blade bolt is a
left hand thread
.
15. Swing the blade bolt cover back into place and secure it with the guard cover
screw.
16. 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.
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.
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.
The lock down pin is provided for holding the cutting head down whilst
transporting or storing the mitre saw. The saw must never be used with the lock
down pin locking the head down. Tighten the slide lock during transportation.

Fence 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 90
°
.
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.
Dust extraction port can block easily with dust and requires
to be periodically cleaned. For more efficient operation,
empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This
allows better air flow through the bag. Dust bags will not
collect all the saw dust generated by the mitre saw. For
best results a dust extractor should be used in place of the
dust bag.
