Accessories
The 2001733 RONA Compound Mitre Saw is
supplied with the following accessories
as standard:
• Saw blade (fitted)
• 6mm hex key

Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques,
it is unlikely that your RONA power tool is
faulty or that a part is missing. If you find
anything wrong, do not operate the tool until
the parts have been replaced or the fault has
been rectified. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
1) Remove all loose parts from the carton.
2) Remove the packing materials from around
the saw.
3) Using the operating handle (3) carefully lift
the saw from the carton and place it on a
level work surface.
4) The saw has been shipped with its arm
locked in the down position. To release the
saw arm, push down on the top of the saw
arm, pull on the release knob (2), rotate it
45° and let go, slowly raise the saw arm.
WARNING. Do not lift the saw while
holding on to the guards. Use the operating
handle (3).
Transportation
Lift the Mitre saw only when the saw arm
is locked in the down position, the saw is
switched off and the plug is removed from the
power point.
Only lift the saw by the operating handle (3) or
outer castings. Do not lift the saw using
the guards.
Bench mounting
The saw base has holes in each corner to
facilitate bench mounting.
1) Place the saw on a level, horizontal bench
or work table using bolts (not supplied) and
fix the saw to the bench using 4 bolts.
2) If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece
of 13mm or thicker plywood which can then
be clamped to your work support or moved
to other job sites and re-clamped.
CAUTION.
Make sure that the mounting
surface is not warped as an uneven surface
can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
Release knob
The release knob (2) is provided for holding
the cutting head down while transporting or
storing the Mitre saw. The saw must never be
used with the release knob locking the
head down.
Mitre table locks
The Mitre table locks (15) are used to lock the
table at the desired Mitre angle.
The Mitre saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left
and right. To adjust the Mitre angle loosen the
Mitre table locks and rotate the Mitre table to
the desired position. The Mitre table features
positive click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and
45° for quick setting of common Mitre angles.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the Mitre table
locks before making a cut. Failure to do so
could result in the table moving during the cut
and cause serious personal injury.
Bevel lock
The bevel lock (7) is used to set the blade
at the desired bevel angle. The Mitre saw
bevel cuts from 0° to 45° to the left. To adjust
the bevel angle loosen the bevel lock and
adjustthe saw arm to the desired bevel angle.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the bevel lock
before making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in the saw arm moving during the cut
and cause serious personal injury.
