BENCH MOUNTING
The saw base has holes in each corner to facilitate bench mounting.
1. Place the saw on a level, horizontal bench or worktable 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 1/2” (13 mm) 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 (4) 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 (20) are used to lock the table at the desired mitre angle.
The mitre saw cuts from 0° to 45°. To adjust the mitre angle loosen the mitre table
locks (20 & 21) 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.
BEVEL LOCK
The bevel lock (12) 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 adjust the saw arm to the desired bevel angle.
