FAMILIARIZATION
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a
workbench or strong table. Examine Fig. A y B,and refer
to the parts description to become familiar with the saw
and its various parts. The following section on adjustments
will refer to these terms and you must know what and
where the parts are. The part name is followed by the
corresponding part number Example - lock down pin (10).
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out
the lock down pin (10), as shown in Fig. C. Gently release
the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its
full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw
from one place to another. Use the operating handle (1) to
transport the saw or the hand indentations (11) shown in
Fig. B after unplugging.
BENCH MOUNTING
Bench mounting holes (8) are provided in all four feet
to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Fig. A. (Two
different sized holes are provided to accommodate
different sizes of screws. Use either hole, it is not
necessary to use both.) Always mount your saw firmly to
prevent movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can
be mounted to a piece of 1/2” or thicker plywood which can
then be clamped to your work support or moved to other
job sites and reclamped.
Note: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood,
make sure that the mounting screws don’t protrude from
the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on
the work support. When clamping the saw to any work
surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the
mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other
point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
¡Caution! To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure
the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven.
If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of
material under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the
mounting surface.
INSTALLING A NEW SAW BLADE
(Unplug the miter saw) do not use ferrous metal
or masonry cutting blades in this saw
f
Loosen hex bolt on cente cover counter clockwise
with box wrench.
f
Lift up the safe cover and center cover.
f
Press down the lock to lock spindle.
f
Loosen hex bolt clockwise with box wrench, then
dismount the bolt and flange.
f
Mount the blade of saw on spindle. Make sure that the
arrow direction on surface of saw blade is same as
one of the cover.
Note:
There are two different internal diameters of
cutter in inner plate which have steel stamp marked
25.4mm - 16mm. When mounting, the outer diameter
of inner plate must be correspondent with the internal
diameter of saw blade.
f
Mount flange and hex bolt.
f
Press axle lock and tighten hex bolt counter clockwise
with box wrench firmly, then tighten hex bolt clockwise
to fix centre cover.
Note:
Only use attached wrench when mounting
or dismounting saw blade. When dismounting saw
blade, lift up safe cover and centre cover. Loosen hex
bolt with box wrench and disassemble hex bolt, flange
and saw blade.
NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK PIN WHILE
THE BLADE IS ROTATING. Be sure to hold the guard
bracket down and firmly tighten the guard bracket
screw when you finish installing the saw blade.
Failure to do so will cause serious damage to the saw.
ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING YOUR SAW
Perform all assembly with saw unplugged.
Attach miter clamp handle.
Remove the miter clamp handle
(4) from the plastic parts bag
and carefully thread it into the bracket in the front of the saw.
ATTACHING DUST BAG
A zippered cloth dust bag is included with your saw. To attach
the bag, fit the plastic opening firmly over the dust spout (9).
Note: The saw can also be used with a vacuum cleaner
hose attached to the dust spout or without any attachment.
ADJUSTMENTS
Perform all adjustments with the miter saw
unplugged.
Note:
Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at
the factory at the time of manufacture. If readjustment due
to shipping and handling or any other reason is required,
follow the steps below to adjust your saw:
f
MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT
.
Place a square
against the saw’s fence and blade, as shown in Fig. D.
(Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with
the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate
measurement.) Loosen the miter clamp handle
(4) as shown in Fig. E and swing the miter arm
until the miter latch (5) locks it at the 0 miter position.
Do not tighten the clamp handle. If the saw blade is
not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the two
screws that hold the handle to the base (shown in
Fig. F) and move the arm of the saw left or right until
the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured
with the square. Retighten the two screws. Pay no
attention to the reading of the miter pointer at this point.
