Spindle Lock

The spindle lock prevents the blade in the 

saw from rotating. Depress and hold the 

spindle lock while installing, changing, or 

removing the blade. Never press when blade 

is rotating.

Retractable Safety Guard

The lower guard provides protection to your hands and limbs when 

the mitre saw head is in the up position. During the operation of the 

saw, when the saw is turned on and you are making a cut, the lower 

guard retracts over the upper guard as the saw is lowered into the 

work piece.

1.   To retract the lower guard, slide the 

release lever right with your thumb and 

press handle down.

Fence

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. Tighten 

securely before making a cut.

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).

3. TYPES OF CUTS

OPERATION

Straight Cutting

A straight cut is made by cutting the grain 

of the workpiece. A 90° straight cut is made 

with the mitre scale set in the 0°.

Max. cutting capacity 

wood: 62 x 310mm

Mitre Cuts

Mitre cuts are made with the mitre scale set 

at an angle other than 0°

Max. cutting capacity 

wood: 62 x 210mm

Bevel Cutting

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the 

grain of the workpiece with the blade angled 

to the mitre table.

Max. cutting capacity 

wood: 36 x 310mm

Note:

 For Bevel Cuts ensure the rear fence is adjusted for blade 

clearance.

Compound Mitre Cuts

A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre 

angle and a bevel angle at the same time.

Max. cutting capacity 

wood: 36 x 210mm (Left), 
        20 x 210mm (Right)
