To use the laser guide for an unknown angle:
• Mark the position of the cut to be made on the workpiece
using a pencil etc.
• Place the workpiece on the rotary table and against the fence.
• Adjust the mitre saw to give the approximate angle of cut. Do
not tighten the mitre lock handle at this stage.
• Slowly slide the workpiece backwards and forwards along
the fence, whilst at the same time slowly adjusting the angle
of the rotary table.
• Stop when the projected laser line and pencil line on the
workpiece match exactly.
• Tighten the mitre lock handle to lock the rotary table in place.
• Secure the workpiece with a hold down clamp.
• Recheck the alignment.
• When satisfied that alignment is accurate proceed to make
the cut.
The Laser Lens cap (if fitted)
If fitted the laser lens cap is a simple push fit onto the front of
the laser unnit.
If it becomes damaged or opaque for any reason it can be replaced.
Carefully pull the lens from the laser unit and replace with a new lens.
DEPTH STOP FIG. 9
Use of the depth stop allows the operator to cut slots in a workpiece.
The downward travel of the Cutting Head can be limited so that
the saw blade does not completely cut through the workpiece.
Note: When using the Depth Stop it is advisable that the depth
of cut is checked using a scrap piece of timber to ensure that
the slot cut is correctly.
By making a cut in the workpiece, and then repeating the cut
but with the workpiece slightly repositioned to the left or right,
it is possible to perform trenching cuts.
To use the depth stop:
• Deploythedepthstop‘stopplate’ (a) by pushing it fully to
the left.
• Loosenthelockingknurlednut.(b)
• Adjustthethumb-screw(c) to limit the saw heads travel to
the required depth.
• Oncesettothedesireddepth,tightenthewingnut(a)

ensure that there is no movement.

Cutting Head can be locked in the down position by the head
latching pin.
Note: In many circumstances the depth stop can be left at the
selected setting if desired. When the depth stop ‘stop plate’ is re-
turned to the ‘normal’ position the depth stop screw will pass by
the ‘stop plate’ and through a channel in the machines castings.
7.5 THE SLIDING UPPER FENCE SECTION
The Left Hand side of the Fence has an adjustable upper section.
Adjustment may be necessary to provide clearance for the
moving Cutting Head when acute bevel or compound angles
are selected.
To adjust the Fence:
• Loosenthethumbscrew.(Fig. 10)
• SlidetheuppersectionoftheFenceleftwardstotherequired
position and tighten the thumbscrew.
• Conducta‘dryrun’withthepowerofftoconfirmthatthereis
no interference between moving parts as the Cutting Head is
lowered.
8.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: The Mitre Saw should be inspected (particularly for
the correct functioning of the safety guards) before each use.
Do not connect the saw to the power supply until a safety
inspection has been carried out.
Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and maintenance of the machine, before
connecting to the power supply and operating the saw.
(8.2)
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the
saw before changing or adjusting any of the machines parts.
Compare the direction of the rotation arrow on the guard to
the direction arrow on the blade. The blade teeth should always
point downward at the front of the saw. Check the tightness of
the arbor screw.
