WARNING! 

ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT BLADE 

BUSH THAT MAY BE REQUIRED SUITS THE 

SPINDLE & BLADES THAT ARE FITTED,

WARNING! 

TO ENSURE THE CORRECT BLADE 

ROTATION, ALWAYS INSTALL THE BLADE WITH 

THE TEETH POINTING DOWNWARDS. ENSURE 

THE ARROW DIRECTION ON THE BLADE 

CORRESPONDS WITH THE ARROW ON THE UPPER 

BLADE GUARD.

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.

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.

Transportation

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

Power tools that are no longer usable should not be 

disposed of with household waste but in an environmentally 

friendly way. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check 

with your local council authority for recycling advice.

Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw 

materials. Reuse of recycled material decreases pollution in 

the environment. Please recycle packaging where facilities 

exist. Check with your local council authority for recycling
