Assembling the Base Extensionssection.
• Check the protective belt cover for damage and the proper functioning
of the lowerguard.
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf
slot is wider than 12mm.
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.
The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the
sawblade.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles aretight.
• Use personal protective equipment and connect the saw to an external
dustextractor.
• 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!
• Do not attempt to cut excessively smallpieces.
• Secure theworkpiece.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do notforce.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicableregulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
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 increased vibration, make sure the environment is not
too cold, the machine and accessory are well maintained and the workpiece
size is suitable for thismachine.
Switching On and Off (Fig.A)
The lock off switch
28
located on the the on/off trigger switch
1
must be
flipped in order for the saw to turnon.

28
and press the on/off trigger
switch
1
.
2. To stop the tool, release thetrigger switch. The lock off switch will

Use of XPS LED Worklight System (Fig.A,B, N)
NOTE: The mitre saw must have the battery installed for the XPS LED
worklight tooperate.
The XPS LED Worklight System is activated by engaging the trigger or
pressing the XPS button on top of the saw housing.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece ofwood:
1. With the XPS light on, pull down on the operating handle to bring the
saw blade
7
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.
