INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Sawing
•
Adjust mitre angle and bevel angle, if necessary
(see Preparation and adjustment).
•
Check that the mitre saw is correctly set
and that all handles and screws are correctly
tightened before starting to saw.
•
Position the item touching the saw table and
guide so that it is stable. Always secure the item
to be worked with clamps or similar. Never use
your hand to keep the item steady.
•
Press the release latch so that the top of the saw
can be lowered. Depress the on/off button (6) on
the handle (5) and allow the mitre saw to reach
full speed before starting to cut the item.
•
The blade guard (3) will open automatically
when the blade (2) comes into contact with the
item.
•
Do not try to force the saw to either side.
•
Release the on/off button immediately if the
blade gets stuck in the item.
•
Release the on/off button once sawing is
complete and lift the top of the saw to the raised
position.
•
Check that the blade guard closes when the saw
is lifted off the item.
Blade replacement
•
Raise the top of the saw to the upper position so
that it locks and tilt the blade guard up.
•
Use the special wrench provided to loosen the
lock nut.
•
Remove the lock nut, spacer, outer fl ange and
saw blade. Do not dispose of the old blade in
your domestic refuse. Dispose of it correctly in
accordance with local guidelines.
•
Remove any chips or sawdust from around the
spindle and fl anges.
•
Fit the new saw blade. Check that the orien-
tation of the blade matches the rotation
direction of the motor. Release the blade guard
and protective cover again.
•
Turn the saw blade manually to check that it
does not catch against any of the other parts even
when set for bevelling.
Cleaning and maintenance
•
The mitre saw can be cleaned by wiping its
external parts with a damp cloth. Use a brush or
compressed air to remove any chips and
dirt from the saw table and awkward corners.
•
Never use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents,
as they may attack the plastic parts
of the saw.
Replacing the carbon brushes.
•
Replace the carbon brushes when they are worn.
•
Note! Both carbon brushes must be replaced
at the same time.
Tightening nuts
•
If there is a gap between the top and base (13)
of the saw, you must tighten the nut on the
connection (9) between the top and base. Check
that the top can be raised and lowered freely after
tightening.
