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
