  •  Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
  •  Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
  •  Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
  •  Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
  •  Secure the workpiece.
  •  Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, 

these operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only. The 

same guidelines apply to the other materials. Do not cut ferrous (iron 

and steel) materials, fibre cement or masonry with this saw!

  •  Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the 

kerf slot is wider than 10 mm.

OPERATION

Instructions for Use

WARNING: 

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable 

regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off 

the tool and disconnect it from the power source before attempting to 

move it, change accessories or make any adjustments.

Refer to 

Saw Blades

 under 

Optional Accessories 

to select the blade that 

best fits your needs.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in 

terms of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen 

so that the operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding 

space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without 

any restrictions.  
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is 

not too cold, the machine and accessories are well maintained and the 

workpiece size is suitable for this machine. 
Plug the saw into any household 60 Hz power source. Refer to the 

nameplate for voltage. Be sure the cord will not interfere with your work.

Proper Body and Hand Position (fig. 17A, 17B)

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, 

ALWAYS

 use 

proper hand position as shown in fig. 17A. 

 

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, 

ALWAYS

 hold 

securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction. 

  •  Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than 

152 mm (6") from the blade. 

  •  Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. 

Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the 

blade has completely stopped. 

  •  ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS 

SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT 

CROSS HANDS, AS SHOWN IN Figure 17B.

  •  Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As 

you move the mitre arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to 

the side of the saw blade. 

  •  Sight through the guard louvers when following a pencil line.

Switching On and Off (fig. 1)

To turn the saw on, depress the trigger switch (X). To turn the tool off, 

release the trigger switch. 
Allow the blade to spin up to full operating speed before making the cut.
Release the trigger switch and allow the brake to stop the blade before 

raising the saw head. 
A hole is provided in the trigger switch for insertion of a padlock to lock 

the saw off.

Use of XPS

TM

 LED Worklight System (fig. 1)

NOTE:

 The mitre saw must be connected to a power source.

The XPS

TM

 LED Worklight System is equipped with an on/off switch (Y). 

The XPS

TM

 LED Worklight System is independent of the mitre saw’s trigger 

switch. The light does not need to be on in order to operate the saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
  1. Turn on the XPS

TM

 system, then pull down on the operating handle 

(C) to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of the 

blade will appear on the wood.  

  2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade’s shadow. You may 

have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order to match the pencil 

line exactly.

Basic Saw Cuts (fig. 1, 18, 19)

If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is pushed back as far 

as possible and the rail lock knob (G) is tightened. This will prevent the 

saw from sliding along its rails as the workpiece is engaged.
Cutting of multiple pieces is not recommended but can be done safely by 

ensuring that each piece is held firmly against the table and fence. 

STRAIGHT VERTICAL CROSSCUT

  1. Set and lock the mitre arm at zero, and hold the wood firmly on the 

table (Q) and against the fence (N). 

  2. With the rail lock knob (G) tightened, turn on the saw by squeezing 

the trigger switch (X).
