ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
RELEASE CUTTING HEAD (Fig. 3)
The mitre saw was transported with the saw arm locked in the
down position.Before using, raise the cutting head firstly by below
steps:
1. Press down the saw handle gently.
2. Pull out the release knob (4) and turn 90
0
,then release it to
securely placed on the recess.
3. Slightly release the cutting head and let it raise to the top
position.
BENCH MOUNTING
The saw base has 4 mounting holes to facilitate bench mounting.
Attach the saw to a level, horizontal bench or work table using bolts
(not supplied) though the fixing holes in the saw base.
NOTE. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 8 mm or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or
moved to other job sites and reclamped.
CAUTION. Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped as
an uneven surface can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
DUST BAG (FIG.4)
The dust bag fits onto the dust extractor port. Squeeze the two
metal tabs on the end of the dust extraction bag to allow it to slide
over the dust extractor port.
For efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than
half full.
This allows better airflow through the bag. A dust extraction system
may also be connected to the dust extraction port for a cleaner and
safer work area.
FITTING THE SIDE SUPPORT BAR (FIG.5)
Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated into the rear of the
machines fence. These sockets are for positioning the Clamp
Assembly.
Align the bar to the sockets and pushed into, see action 1.
After the bar completely insert, fasten the bolt on the table to lock
the bar in position.
Place the workpiece to be cut onto the saw table, against the fence
and in the desired position.
Ensure that the Clamp does not interfere with the path of the blade,
or with the path of any other part of the cutting head as it is
lowered.
MOUNTING THE G CLAMP (FIG.6)
Put the G clamp onto the table, then lock the knob accoeding the
step 1-3 according fig.6.
Before using G clamp, raise it to the top position, then put the
workpiece onto the table, then low down the clamp and turn the
knob (7) cloackwise to secure the workpiece..
BEVEL CUT (FIG.7)
This saw head can be tilt from -45
0
to 0
0
to make the bevel cut.
Before cutting, tilting the saw head to the disre angle and lock the
head by turn the bevel locking knob (12).
MITRE CUT (FIG.8)
This saw table can be moved from -45
0
to +45
0
to make the mitre
cut.
Before cutting, moving the saw table to the disre angle and lock the
mitre lock knob (2) to tighten it.
SWITCHING ON / OFF (FIG.9)
This saw equipped with a safety dual action switch to avoid
unintentional starting.
To start the saw, move the lock-off knob (30) to the left and press
switch trigger (19). The saw will starts. If you wan tto continuously
working, you need to keep pressing the trigger.
To stop the saw, just release the switch trigger.
SWITCHING ON / OFF THE LASER (FIG.10)
This saw equipped with a laser to make the cutting
accurancy.
Press the knob (2) to switching on the laser, and
switching again to off the laser.
Caution: Do not stare the laser beam, otherwise it will
heart your eyes.
OPERATION
Make a cutting line on the wood board by pen, and turn
the laser switch on and make the laser line coincidence
with the cutting line on the board.
To turn the saw on press the switch lock to the left.
Hold the operating handle firmly and squeeze the switch
trigger, When the blade is at its maximum speed
(approximately 2 seconds), lower the blade through the
workpiece. After completing the cut, release the switch
trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before
raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade
stops before removing the workpiece.
CHOP CUTTING
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90
0
crosscut is made with the mitre table set
at 0
0
. Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at some
angle other than zero.
Pull on the release knob and lift the saw arm to its full
height.
Loosen the mitre lock. Rotate the mitre table until the
pointer aligns with the desired angle. Retighten the mitre
lock.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre lock before
making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table
moving during the cut and cause serious personal
injury.
Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is
placed against the fence, the board could break and jam
the blade.
When cutting long pieces of timber, support the
overhanging ends of the timber with the side bars, a roller
stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
Use the clamp assembly to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
It is possible to remove the clamp assembly by loosening
the clamp assembly lock and moving it to the other side of
the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is tight
before using the clamp. Before turning on the saw,
perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that
there are no problems.
Press the switch lock to the left. Hold the operating handle
firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to
reach maximum speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.
Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece with the blade angled to the fence and mitre
table. The mitre table is set at the zero degree position
and the blade set at an angle between 0
0
and 45
0
to the
left.
Repeat the steps for cross-cutting .
Loosen the bevel lock and move the saw arm to the left to
