Mounting the Saw Blade (Fig. G1–G4)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or
changing set-ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

WARNING:
• Always change blades with the machine in mitre sawmode.
• Never depress the spindle lock button while the blade is under power orcoasting.
• Do not cut ferrous metal (containing iron or steel) or masonry or fibre cement product
with this mitresaw.
• The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can bedangerous.
• Depress the head lock up release lever
9
to release the lower guard
8
, then raise the
lower guard as far as possible (Fig.G1).
1. With the lower guard held in the raised position, depress the spindle lock button
60
with
one hand, then use the supplied blade spanner in the other hand to loosen the left-hand
threaded blade locking screw
59
by turningclockwise.

WARNING: To use the spindle lock, press the button as shown and rotate the spindle by
hand until you feel the lockengage.
2. Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from turning (
60
, Fig.G1).
3. Remove the blade locking screw
59
and the outside arbor collar
61
.
4. Install the saw blade
62
onto the shoulder
63
provided on the inside arbor collar
64
,
making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the blade are pointing toward the back
of the saw (away from the operator).
5. Replace the outer arbor collar
61
.
6. Tighten the blade locking screw
59
carefully by turning counter-clockwise while holding
the spindle lock engaged with your otherhand.
7. Raise the lowerguard.

WARNING: Be aware the saw blade shall be replaced in the described way only. Only use
saw blades as specified under Technical Data; Cat.no.: DT4260 issuggested.
Adjustments for Mitre Saw Mode
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due to shipping and
handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw. Once
made, these adjustments should remainaccurate.
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Fence (Fig. H1–H3)
1. Loosen the mitre knob
65
and depress the mitre latch
66
to release the rotating table
5
(Fig. H1).
2. Swing the rotating table until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position. Do not tighten
theknob.
3. Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf
67
.
4. Place a square
68
against the left side
7
of the fence and blade
62
(Fig. H2).

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with thesquare.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the screws
69
(Fig. H3) and move the scale/rotating table assembly left or right
until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square (Fig. H2).
2. Retighten the screws
69
(Fig. H3). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre pointer at
thispoint.
Adjusting the Mitre Pointer (Fig. H1, H4)
1. Loosen the mitre knob
65
and depress the mitre latch
66
to release the rotating table
5
(Fig. H1).
2. With the mitre knob loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as you rotate the mitre
arm pastzero.
3. Observe the pointer
70
and mitre scale
71
(Fig. H4). If the pointer does not indicate
exactly zero, loosen the screw
72
, move the pointer to read 0° and tighten thescrew.
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Table (Fig. I1–I3)
1. Loosen the bevel clamp knob
16
(Fig. I1).
2. Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten the bevel
clampknob.
3. Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf
67
.
4. Place a set square
68
on the table and up against the blade
62
(Fig.I2).

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with thesquare.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the bevel clamp knob
16
(Fig. I1) and turn the vertical position adjustment stop
screw
73
(Fig. I3) in or out until the blade is at 90° to the table as measured with the
square (Fig. I2).
2. If the bevel pointer
74
does not indicate zero on the bevel scale
75
, loosen the screw
76
that secures the pointer and move the pointer as necessary (Fig. I3).
Adjusting the Fence (Fig. J)
The upper part of the left side of the fence can be adjusted to the left to provide clearance,
allowing the saw to bevel to a full 48° left. To adjust the fence
7
:
1. Loosen the fence clamping knob
77
and slide the upper part of the side fence to theleft.
2. Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance. Adjust the fence to
be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, without
interfering with the up and down movement of thearm.
3. Tighten the knobsecurely.

WARNING: The guide groove
78
can become clogged with sawdust. Use a stick or some
low pressure air to clear the guidegroove.
Checking and adjusting the Bevel Angle (Fig. I1, J, K)
1. Loosen the fence clamping knob
77
and slide the upper part of the side fence to the left
as far as it will go (Fig. J).
2. Loosen the bevel clamp knob
16
(Fig. I1) and move the saw arm to the left until the angle
position stop
79
rests against the bevel position adjustment stop
80
(Fig. K). This is the
45° bevelposition.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the bevel position adjustment stop screw
80
in or out as necessary until the
pointer
74
indicates 45° with the angle position stop resting against the bevel position
adjustmentstop.
Assembly for Saw Bench Mode
Changing from Mitre Saw to Saw Bench Mode (Fig. A1, A3, L1–L5)
1. Put the blade into 0° cross-cut position with the rotating table clamp
3
secured (Fig. A1).
2. Remove the riving knife
22
from its storage position in the inside of the base (Fig. A3).
3. Depress the guard release lever
9
to release the blade guard
8
, then raise the blade
guard as far as possible (Fig. A1).
4. Loosen the cap screw
81
just enough to allow riving knife to slide onto mounting
pads
82
onarm.
5. Slide the riving knife
22
onto the mounting pads
82
(Fig. L1). Tighten the cap screw
81
.
6. Unscrew the knob
77
and extract the sliding fence
7
as shown in FigureL2.
7. Pull down thesawhead.
8. Push the release lever
57
to the rear (Fig. L3).
9. Push the bearing unit
58
down until notches
83
engage in the locations
84
(Fig. L3).

WARNING: The blade should not foul the lower bladeguard.
10. Pull the table release lever
2
to the right, lift the front edge of the table
4
(Fig. L4) and
flip it back through 180° until the plate
55
of the table-locking device
56
automatically
engages the latch of the table locking device to secure it in the saw bench mode (Fig. L5).
11. Remove the under-tableguard.
Fitting the Upper Blade Guard (Fig. N)
The upper blade guard
23
is designed to be quickly and easily attached to the riving knife
22
once the machine has been set up for saw benchmode.
1. Holding the guard vertically, align the slot in the rear of the guard with the rivingknife.
2. Lower the guard over the riving knife
22
, making sure that the shaft of the bolt enters
therecess.
3. Turn the guard into horizontalposition.

WARNING: Never use your saw in saw bench mode without the upper guard
correctlyfitted.
Mounting and Adjusting the Parallel Fence (Fig. O1–O5)
The parallel fence
24
can be mounted on either side of theblade.
1. Slide the bracket
85
on from the left or the right (Fig. O1). The clamping plate engages
behind the front edge of thetable.
2. Slide the fence up against theblade.
3. Push the lever
86
down to secure the fence inplace.
4. Check that the fence is parallel to theblade.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lock knobs
87
and slide the fence backwards in order to obtain access to the
adjustment bolts
88
in the top of the fence (Fig.O2).
2. Using the spanner, loosen the adjustment bolts fastening the fence bracket to the
fencesupport.
3. Adjust the fence so that it is parallel to the blade by checking the distance between the
blade and the fence at the front and rear of theblade.
4. When the adjustment has been carried out, re-tighten the adjustment bolts and check
again that the fence is parallel to theblade.
5. Check that the pointer
89
indicates zero on the scale (Fig. O3). If the pointer does not
indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw
90
, move the pointer to read 0° and tighten
thescrew.
