hold the workpiece rmly. Two holes are
provided for the clamp.
2. Always position the workpiece against
the fence. Any piece that is bowed or
warped and cannot be held at on the
table or against fence may trap the
blade and should not be used.
BODY AND HANDS POSITION (FIG. 26)
Never place hands near cutting area. Keep
hands outside the “No-Hands Zone” which
includes entire table and is labeled by “No
Hands” symbols.
TURNING THE SAW ON (FIG. 27)
This miter saw is equipped with an ON/OFF
trigger switch (1). When the trigger switch is
squeezed, the miter saw will be turned on.
NOTE:
●
To make the ON/OFF switch childproof.
Insert a padlock (not provided), or chain
with padlock, through the hole (2) in the
trigger switch, locking the tool’s switch,
preventing children and other unqualied
users from turning the machine on.
● The miter saw is equipped with an
electric blade brake. When the trigger
switch is released, the blade brake will
stop the blade within approximately
6 seconds.
Check that the power supply and outlet
used is in accordance with your miter
saw. Have a look at the rating plate of the
motor or the rating on the miter saw. Any
changes should always be carried out by a
qualied electrician.
USING AN EXTENSION LEAD
The use of any extension lead will cause
some loss of power. To keep this to a
minimum and to prevent overheating and
motor burn-out, ask advice from a qualied
electrician to determine the minimum wire
size of the extension lead. If the power
cable is broken, repair service is available
at your nearest service center.
NOTE: We highly recommend that you bolt
this miter saw securely to a work bench to
gain the maximum stability of your machine.
Ensure that the machine is always xed to
a bench whenever possible.
1. Locate and mark the four bolt holes on
the bench.
2. Drill the bench with an Ø10 mm drill bit.
3. Bolt the miter saw on to the bench with
bolts, washers and nuts. Note that these
fasteners are not supplied with the
machine.
Connecting to the Power Supply
WARNING! Avoid contact with the
terminals on the plug when installing
(removing) the plug to (from) the power
supply outlet. Contact will cause a
severe electrical shock.
Mounting the tool
WARNING! To avoid injury from
materials being thrown, unplug saw
to avoid accidental starting, and then
remove small materials.
Operating the tool
WARNING! Never connect the plug to the
power source outlet until all installations
and adjustments are completed and you
have read and understood the safety
and operational instructions.

by pushing it toward the rear of the
machine.
2. Extend the fence (2) by sliding it out.
Lock the fence cam locking lever (1) by
pulling it in toward the fence.
NOTE: When transporting the saw,
always secure the sliding fence in the
collapsed position and locking it.
REMOVING OR INSTALLING THE
SLIDING FENCE (FIG. 29)
WARNING! The sliding fence must be
extended when making any bevel cut.
Failure to extend the sliding fence will
not allow enough space for the blade
to pass through which could result in
serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel
angles the saw blade may also contact
the fence.
Removing
1. Unlock the fence cam locking lever (1)
by pushing it out toward the rear of the
machine.
2. Align the slot (2) with the bolt (3) in the
rear of the fence, and then lift up the
sliding fence to remove it from the saw.
Installing
1. Align the slot (2) with the bolt (3) in the
rear of the fence to place the sliding
fence onto the miter saw fence.
2. Slide the nut (4) to align the nut (4) with
the slot (5).
3. To lock the sliding fence, push the cam
locking lever (1) in toward the front of
the machine.
SLIDING CARRIAGE SYSTEM (FIG. 30)
1. For chop cutting operations on small
workpieces, slide the cutting head
assembly completely toward the rear of
the unit and tighten the sliding carriage
lock knob (1).
2. To cut wide boards up to 318 mm, the
sliding carriage lock knob (1) must be
loosened to allow the cutting head to
slide freely.
QUICK-CAM LOCKING LEVER
OPERATION (FIG. 31)
If miter angles required are NOT one of
the nine positive stops, the miter table can
be locked at any angle between these
positive stops by using the quick-cam
locking lever.
1. Unlock the miter table by lifting up on
the quick-cam locking lever (1).
2. While holding the positive stop locking
lever (2) up, grasp the miter handle (3)
and move the miter table left or right to
the desired angle.
WARNING!
●
DRY RUN - It is important to know
where the blade will intersect
with the workpiece during cutting
operations. Always perform a
simulated cutting sequence with the
power tool switched OFF to gain an
understanding of the projected path
of the saw blade. At some extreme
angles, the left side fence might
have to be removed to ensure proper
clearance prior to making the cut.
●
The left side sliding fence must
be removed when making any left
bevel angle cuts greater than 33.9°
in combination with any right or left
miter angle. This fence must also be
removed whenever a 45° bevel angle
is desired with a miter angle greater
than 31.6°.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury,
return carriage to the full rear position
after each crosscut operation.

the section of “QUICK-CAM LOCKING
LEVER ADJUSTMENT”.
MITER DETENT OVERRIDE (FIG. 32)
The miter detent override allows for the
table to be micro adjusted, disengaging
the positive detent stops feature. When a
required miter angle is close to a positive
detent stop, this override prevents the
wedge on the miter arm from slipping into
that detent slot on the base.
1. Unlock the miter table by pulling up on
the quick-cam locking lever (1).
NOTE: The miter handle (2) does not
lock or unlock the table.
2. While holding the miter handle (2), pull

1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen
the bevel locking handle (1) by turning it
clockwise.
2. Tilt the cutting head to the desired
angle, as shown on the bevel scale (2).
3. The blade can be positioned at any
angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on
the scale) to a 45° left bevel. Tighten
the bevel locking handle (1) to lock the
cutting head in position. Positive stops
are provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45°.
NOTE: The saw comes with a 33.9°
bevel detent pin for setting up crown
molding cuts when the angle of the
walls equals 90°.
4. Turn the laser guide on and position the
workpiece on the table for pre-alignment
of your cut.
NOTE: If 47° left bevel is necessary, slide
the bevel stop plate (3) clockwise away
from the stop block (4) to achieve 47° left
bevel. (Fig. 35)
WARNING!
●
The sliding fence must be extended
to the left when making bevel cuts.
The sliding fences note three bevel
angles where the user must adjust
the fences to match the degree of
the bevel cut. Failure to extend the
sliding fence will not allow enough
space for the blade to pass through
which could result in serious injury.
At extreme miter or bevel angles
the saw blade may also contact
the fence.
●
The right side sliding fence must
be removed when making any right
bevel angle cuts greater than 35°
in combination with any right hand
miter angle. This fence must also be
removed whenever a 45° bevel angle
is desired with a miter angle greater
than 22.5°.
33.9° BEVEL DETENT PIN FOR CROWN
MOLDINGS (FIG. 36)
1. Push the bevel detent pin (1) in toward
the rear of the machine.
2. Loosen the bevel locking handle (2).
3. Rotate the cutting head until the bevel
detent pin (1) stops the bevel angle at
33.9° on the bevel scale (3).
4. Tighten the bevel locking handle (2)
before you make your cut.
COMPOUND CUT (FIG. 37)
A compound cut is the combination of a
miter and a bevel cut simultaneously.
1. Extending the fence by sliding it out
to the required location or remove the
left sliding fence if necessary. See
“SLIDING FENCE” or “REMOVING OR
INSTALLING THE SLIDING FENCE.”
2. Set the desired miter angle and lock into

cut.
9. Release the trigger and allow the
blade to stop spinning before raising
the cutting head and removing the
workpiece (4).
WARNING! To avoid injury:
●
Never pull the cutting head assembly
and spinning blade toward you
during the cut. The blade may try to
climb up on the top of the workpiece,
causing the cutting assembly
and spinning blade to kick back,
forcefully. The cutting head assembly
should be drawn back completely
then pushed forward when sawing.
●
Let the blade reach full speed before
cutting. This will help reduce the risk
of a thrown workpiece.
15
Removing the Blade (Fig. 41, 42, 43, 44)
1. Unplug the saw from the outlet.
2. Raise the cutting head to the upright
position. Slide the cutting head
assembly completely toward the rear of
the unit and tighten the sliding carriage
lock knob.
3. Loosen the cover plate screw (2) with a
Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. 41)
4. Raise the lower blade guard (1) to the
uppermost position. (Fig. 42)
5. Rotate the cover plate (3) back to
expose the arbor bolt (4).
6. Place the provided blade wrench over
the arbor bolt (4).
7.
Locate the arbor lock button (5) below
the trigger switch handle. (Fig. 43)
8. Press the arbor lock button (5), holding
it in rmly while turning the blade
wrench clockwise. This will engage
the arbor lock allowing the arbor bolt
to be loosened with the blade wrench.
Continue to hold the arbor lock
button (5), while turning the wrench
clockwise to loosen the arbor bolt.
9. Remove the arbor bolt (4), the outer
blade collar (6), the blade (7) and the
reducer (8). Do not remove the inner
blade collar. (Fig. 44)
NOTE: Pay attention to the pieces
removed, noting their position and
direction they face. Wipe the blade collars
clean of any sawdust before installing a
new blade. Also, the 255 mm blade has
a 25.4 mm arbor hole with a 15.95 mm
reducer (8) to mount onto the saw.
Changing Blades
WARNING! Do not use a blade larger
than 255 mm in diameter. To avoid injury
from an accidental start, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and
the plug is not connected to the power
source outlet.
Installing the Blade (Fig. 41, 42, 43, 44)
Unplug the miter saw before changing/
installing the blade.
1. Install a 255 mm blade with a 25.4 mm
arbor hole with a 15.95 mm reducer
making sure the rotation arrow on the
blade matches the clockwise rotation
arrow on the upper guard, and the blade
teeth are pointing downward.
2. Place the reducer (8) and the blade (7)
onto the arbor. Place the outer blade
collar (6) onto the arbor and against
the blade. Thread the arbor bolt (4)
conterclockwise onto the arbor. (Fig. 44)
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ats of the
blade collars are engaged with the ats
on the arbor shaft.
3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor
bolt (4).
4. Press the arbor lock (5), holding
it in rmly while turning the blade
counterclockwise. When arbor lock (5)
engages, continue to press it in while
tightening the arbor bolt securely.
(Fig. 43)
5. Lower the blade guard (1) and rotate
the cover plate (3) back to its original
position until the slot in the cover plate
engages with the cover plate screw (2).
(Fig. 42)
6. Tighten the cover plate screw (2) with a
Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. 41)
7. Verify that the operation of the blade
guard (1) does not bind or stick.
8. Be sure the arbor lock (5) is released so
the blade turns freely. (Fig. 43)
WARNING!
●
To avoid injury, never use the saw
without the cover plate secure in
place. It keeps the arbor bolt from
falling out if it accidentally loosens,
and helps prevent the spinning blade
from coming off the saw.
●
Make sure the collars are clean and
properly arranged. Lower the blade
into the lower table and check for any
contact with the base or the miter
table by spinning the blade manually.
16
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Occasionally use a cloth to wipe off chips
and dust from the machine. And oil the
rotary parts once a month to extend the tool
life. Do not oil the motor.
BRUSH INSPECTION (FIG. 45)
Check the motor brushes after the rst
50 hours of use for a new machine or after
a new set of brushes have been installed.
After the rst check, examine them every
10 hours of use.
When the carbon is worn to 6 mm in length
or if the spring or shunt wire is burned
or damaged, replace both brushes. If
the brushes are found serviceable after
removing, reinstall them.
To inspect or replace brushes, rst unplug
the saw. Then remove the black plastic
cap (1) on the side of the motor (2).
Remove the cap cautiously, because it is
springloaded. Then pull out the carbon
brush (3) and replace. To reassemble,
reverse the procedure. The ears on the
metal end of the assembly go in the same
hole the carbon part ts into. Tighten the
cap snugly, but do not overtighten. Repeat
for the carbon brush located on the other
side of motor.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, rst
make sure the brushes go back in the way
they came out. This will avoid a break-in
period that reduces motor performance and
increases wear.
WARNING! For your own safety, turn the
switch off and remove the plug from the
power source outlet before maintaining
or lubricating your miter saw.
