Securing The Mitre Saw

The base of the saw has four 

mounting holes (1 in each 

corner) that can be used to 

mount it to a workbench or mitre 

saw stand. Use four bolts to 

secure it in place.

Attach the support 

feet to the mitre 

saw if it will not 

be mounted on a 

stand or workbench. 

Attach the support 

feet with the 

fasterners provided, 

then swing out the 

stabilising bar to the 

rear until it engages.

Slide Lock

When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not 

necessary to use the slide mechanism. In 

these circumstances, push back the cutting 

head and ensure the slide locking knob is 

tight to prevent the cutting head from sliding.

Mitre Angle Adjustments

1.   Loosen mitre table lock

2.   Rotate the mitre table to the desired mitre 

angle (left or right) as shown by the mitre 

angle pointer

Note:

 The mitre table features positive click 

stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° for 

quick setting of common mitre angles.

3.   Tighten mitre table lock at selected angle.

WARNING! 

ENSURE THE MITRE TABLE LOCK IS 

TIGHT BEFORE MAKING A CUT. FAILURE TO DO SO 

MAY RESULT IN THE MITRE TABLE MOVING DURING

Trenching refers to restricting the depth of cut and permits a “trench” 

to be cut in the workpiece.

Trenching

1.   Ensure the cutting head is 

raised, move the trenching 

stop to the right as far as it 

will go.

2.   To adjust the trenching 

depth rotate the trenching 

depth adjustment screw.

3.   To check that the blade 

stops at the desired position, 

lower the cutting head 

until the trenching stop 

adjustment screw touches 

the trenching stop.

4.   When the correct depth is 

set. Lock it in position using 

the trenching depth lock nut.

Note:

 It is recommended to test 

the depth set is correct on a 

scrap piece of wood.

1.   Loosen  bevel 

lock.

2.  

BEVEL LEFT

 - Tilt the cutting head 

to the desired
