SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
The spindle lock button (18) prevents the blade
in the saw from rotating. Depress and hold the
spindle lock button while installing, changing, or
removing the blade.
WARNING. Do not depress the spindle lock
button whilst the blade is rotating or the mitre
saw is in use.
9
ROTATING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The rotating lower blade guard (5) provides
protection from both sides of the blade. It
retracts over the upper blade guard (4) as the
saw is lowered into the workpiece.
10
TURNING ON AND OFF
To turn the saw on depress and hold the switch
trigger (16).
To turn the saw off release the switch trigger (16).
11
DUST EXTRACTION
Remove the cover (22) and fit the dust bag (23)
to the dust extraction port (21).
A vacuum dust extraction device can be
connected to the dust extraction port (21).
Use a suitable vacuum adaptor if necessary.
The dust extraction port has an internal
diameter of 40mm.
12
SETTING THE TABLE SQUARE WITH
THE BLADE
Make sure that the electrical plug is removed
from the power socket.
13
Push the saw arm (1) down to its lowest position
and engage the release knob (2) to hold the saw
arm in the transport position.
Loosen the mitre locks (15).
Rotate the table (12) until the pointer is
positioned at 0º.
Tighten the mitre locks (15).
Loosen the bevel lock (7) and set the saw arm
(1) at 0º bevel (the blade at 90º to the mitre
table). Tighten the bevel lock (7).
Place a set square against the table (12) and the
flat part of the blade.
NOTE. Make sure that the square contacts the
flat part of the saw blade, not the teeth.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-
to-table alignment at several points.
The edge of the set square and the saw blade
should be parallel.
14
If the saw blade angles away from the set
square, adjust as follows.
Use an 8mm wrench or adjustable wrench
to loosen the lock nut securing the 0° bevel
adjustment screw (10). Also, loosen the bevel
lock (7).
15
Adjust the 0° bevel adjustment screw (10) using
a 4mm hex key to bring the saw blade into
alignment with the square.
16
Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the
pointer of the bevel scale (8) and adjust the
position of the pointer so that it accurately
indicates zero on the scale. Retighten the screw.
Retighten the bevel lock (7) and the lock nut
securing the 0° bevel adjustment screw (10).
NOTE. The above procedure can also be used
to check the angle of the saw blade to the table
at 45º bevel angle. The 45° bevel adjustment
screw (9) is on the opposite side of the saw arm.
17
SETTING THE FENCE SQUARE WITH
THE TABLE
Make sure that the electrical plug is removed
from the power socket.
18
Push the saw arm (1) down to its lowest position
and engage the release knob (2) to hold the saw
arm in the transport position.
Loosen the mitre locks (15).
Rotate the table (12) until the pointer is
positioned at 0º.
Tighten the mitre locks (15).
Using a 5mm hex key, loosen the two screws
securing the fence (11) to the base.
19
Place a square against the fence (11) and
alongside the blade.
Adjust the fence (11) until it is square with the
blade.
Tighten the screws securing the fence (11).
20
Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the
pointer of the mitre scale (13) and adjust it so
that it accurately indicates the zero position on
the mitre scale.
Retighten the screw securing the mitre scale
pointer.

CROSS CUT
WARNING. When making any adjustment to
your work, ensure that the blade is stationary
and keep your hands away from the area of the
switch.
If possible, always use a clamping device such
as a ‘G” clamp to secure your workpiece.
When cutting your workpiece, keep your hands
well away from the blade area.
Do not remove a cut-off piece on the right-hand
side of the blade using your left hand.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain
of the workpiece. A 90º crosscut is made with
the mitre table set at 0º. Mitre crosscuts are
made with the table set at some angle other
than zero.
Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw arm
(1) to its full height.
Loosen the mitre locks (15).
22
Rotate the mitre table (12) until the pointer aligns
with the desired angle.
Retighten the mitre locks (15).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre locks
before making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in the table moving during the cut and
cause serious personal injury.
Place the workpiece flat on the table with one
edge securely against the fence (11). If the
board is warped, place the convex side against
the fence (11). If the concave side is placed
against the fence, the board could break and
jam the blade.
When cutting long pieces of timber, support the
opposite end of the timber with side support
bars, a roller stand or a work surface that is level
with the saw table.
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of
the cutting operation to check that there are no
problems such as a clamp interfering with the
cutting action.
Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and
squeeze the switch trigger (16). Allow the blade
to reach maximum speed.
Press the release latch (17) and slowly lower the
blade into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger (16) and allow the
saw blade to stop rotating before raising the
blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade
stops before removing the workpiece.
23
BEVEL CUT
WARNING. When making any adjustment to
your work, ensure that the blade is stationary
and keep your hands away from the area of the
switch.
If possible, always use a clamping device such
as a ‘G” clamp to secure your workpiece.
When cutting your workpiece, keep your hands
well away from the blade area.
Do not remove a cut-off piece on the right-hand
side of the blade using your left hand.
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain
of the workpiece with the blade angled to the
fence and mitre table. The mitre table is set at
the zero degree position and the blade set at an
angle between 0º and 45º.
Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw arm
to its full height.
Loosen the mitre locks (15).
Rotate the mitre table (12) until the pointer aligns
with zero on the mitre scale (13).
Retighten the mitre locks (15).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre locks
before making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in the table moving during the cut,
causing serious personal injury.
Loosen the bevel lock (7) and move the saw
arm (1) to the left to the desired bevel angle
(between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (7).
