OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Compound mitre cut
A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre
angle and a bevel angle at the same time.
It is used in making picture frames, to cut
mouldings, making boxes with sloping sides
and for roof framing. Always make a test cut
on a piece of scrap wood before cutting into
the good material.
Use the slide action when cutting wide
workpieces.
1) Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw
arm to its full height.
2) Loosen the mitre lock (25).
3) Rotate the mitre table (21) until the pointer
aligns with the desired angle on the mitre
scale (22).
4) Retighten the mitre lock (25).
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,
causing serious personal injury.
5) Loosen the bevel lock (16) and pull out the
0º bevel adjuster (18) and move the saw
arm (5) to the left or right to the desired
bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten
the bevel lock (16).
6) Place the workpiece flat on the table with
one edge securely against the fence (19).
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.
7) When cutting long pieces of timber, support
the opposite end of the timber with the side
bars (36), a roller stand or a work surface
that is level with the saw table.
8) Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the
workpiece wherever possible.
9) It is possible to remove the clamp assembly
(10) by loosening the clamp assembly lock
(11) and moving it to the other side of the
table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is
tight before using the clamp.
10) Before turning on the saw, perform a dry
run of the cutting operation to check that
there are no problems.
11) Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and
squeeze the switch trigger (24). Allow
the blade to reach maximum speed and
slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece.
12) Release the switch trigger (24) 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.
Adjusting the laser lines
The lower laser is factory set to emit a laser
line along the right-hand side of the blade. The
upper laser is factory set to emit a laser line
to the left-hand side of the blade. This upper
laser can be adjusted by the operator to suit
blades of different kerf widths.
To adjust the position of the upper laser,
proceed as follows:
1) Remove the laser cover by pulling it towards
you.
2) Switch on the laser lights with the on/off
switch (2).
3) Using a Phillips head screwdriver (not
supplied), adjust the position of the line from
the upper laser by turning the laser pitch
control (4).
4) Adjust until the left-hand laser line is aligned
with the left-hand side of the blade.
5) Switch off the laser lights.
Using the laser line generator
WARNINGS
Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
Never aim the beam at any person or an
object other than the workpiece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel
and ensure that it is not directed towards the
eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed
at a sturdy workpiece without reflective
surfaces. Wood or rough coated surfaces are
acceptable. Bright shiny reflective surfaces
are not suitable for laser use as the reflective
surface could direct the beam back at the
operator.
GUARANTEE
Always remember to switch off the laser on/off
switch (2) after finishing a job. Only turn the
laser beam on when the workpiece is on the
mitre saw table.
1) Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
2) Adjust the angle of mitre and bevel of the
cut as required.
3) Switch on the laser light on/off switch (2).
4) Clamp the workpiece in position using the
laser lines to align the blade with the pencil
mark on the workpiece.
NOTE.
To cut to the left-hand side of the
blade, align the left-hand laser line with the
pencil mark. To cut to the right-hand side of
the blade, align the right-hand laser line with
the pencil mark.
5) Plug in the machine and start the motor.
6) When the blade is at its maximum speed
(approximately 2 seconds), lower the blade
through the workpiece.
7) After completing the cut, switch off the laser
light on/off switch (2).
8) After each use, clean the laser light
assembly (1) as described below:
9) Switch off the laser light switch (2) and then
remove the plug from the power point.
10) With the saw arm (5) in the raised position,
use a soft brush to dust away the sawdust
build-up around the assembly.
NOTE.
Wear eye protection whilst brushing
the dust away.
Maintenance
1) Store the tool, instruction manual and
accessories in a secure place. In this way
you will always have all the information and
parts on hand.
2) Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and
clean at all times.
3) Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning
is best done with compressed air or a rag.
4) Never use caustic agents to clean
plastic parts.
5) Lubricate the guide roller from time to time
with a drop of oil. It will extend the life of
the roller.
CAUTION.
Do not use cleaning agents to
clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild
detergent on a damp cloth is recommended.
Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are
tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
