Turning The Saw On

1.   To turn the mitre saw on, squeeze the 

trigger switch.

2.   To turn the mitre saw off, release the 

trigger switch.

Note:

 Before performing a cut, ensure the 

blade is at full speed. Failure to do this may 

cause the blade to become blunt and cause 

the blade to lock-up.

Laser Guide

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.

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.

Material Clamp

It is extremely important to always secure 

the workpiece properly and tightly with the 

material clamp.

Slide Action

When cutting wide pieces of wood, ensure 

the slide lock is loose.

1.   First pull carriage fully, slide 

the release lever right with 

your thumb and press handle
