ELECTRICAL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “Power Tool”

in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded)

power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service

agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

1) WORK AREA

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions

can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging

the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer.

f) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

g) Have your tool repaired by a an electrician or a power tool repairer.

This power tool complies with relevant safety requirements. To avoid danger,

electrical appliances must only be repaired by qualified personnel using original

spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence

of dr

ugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES (cont.)

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result

in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these

devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools, unplugged & out of the reach of children and do not

allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with

these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of

power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to

be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from intended

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR MITRE SAWS

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR MITRE SAWS (cont.)

• Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to

rest without assistance.

• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and

switch off before looking up.

• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened.

• Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that they

could fall into it.

• Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you accidentally cut into

hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable, the metal parts of the saw will become

“live”. Switch off at the mains and remove the plug immediately.

• Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.

• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade.

• Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and always ensure that it is

working properly, freely rotating and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade.

• Connect the saw to a dust collection device and ensure that it is operating

properly. As the operator of the saw, please make sure that you understand

factors that influence exposure to dust, including the type of material to be cut,

the importance of local extraction and the proper adjustment of

hoods/baffles/chutes of your dust extraction system. We recommend that you

always wear a dust mask when operating this saw.

• Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials.

• Saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever possible.

• Select saw blades in relation to the material being cut.

• Use correctly sharpened saw blades and observe the maximum speed marked

on the blade.

• Take additional care when trenching (slotting).

• The mitre saw can be safely carried by the carrying handle but only once it has

been removed from the mains power and secured in the locked down position.

• Ensure that the arm is properly secure when bevelling.

• Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of

loose materials.

• Ensure that you are trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine.

• Do not remove any cut-offs from the cutting area until the mitre saw head is in

the full upright position, the blade guard is fully enclosing the blade and the

blade has come to a rest or complete stop.

• When cutting long pieces which extend well over the table width, ensure that

the ends are adequately supported at the same height as the saw table top.

Supports should be positioned in such a way to ensure that the workpiece does

not fall to the ground once the cut has been made.

A number of supports at regular intervals may be required if the workpiece is

extremely long.

- Wear goggles

- Wear earmuffs

- Wear a breathing mask

Transportation

Only lift the saw when the head of the mitre saw is locked in the down position, the

saw is turned off and the plug is removed from the power point.

To lock the mitre saw head in the down position push the mitre saw head down

towards the base and engage the lock down knob (26). This will ensure that the mitre

saw head is locked in the down position and enable you to lift the mitre saw by the

carry handle (1) safely.

Only lift the saw by the carrying handle (1) or outer castings. Do not lift the saw using

the upper guard (25) or switch handle (2).

Bench mounting

The saw has mounting holes (13) in each corner to facilitate bench mounting.

1. Mount the saw to a level, horizontal bench or work table using 4 bolts (not

supplied) and ensure that the saw is fastened tightly.

2. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 13mm or thicker plywood which can

then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and re-clamped.

CAUTION: Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped as an uneven

surface can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.

Lock down knob

The lock down knob (26) is provided for holding the cutting head down whilst

transporting or storing the mitre saw. The saw must never be used with the lock down

knob (26) locking the head down.

Slide lock

When tightened, the slide lock (27) prevents the saw head from sliding. Tighten the

slide lock (27) during transportation.

Mitre table lock

The mitre table lock (7) is used to lock the mitre table (14) at the desired mitre angle.

The mitre saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left and right. To adjust the mitre angle, loosen

the mitre table lock (7) and using the mitre table handle (9) adjust the mitre angle to

the desired position. The mitre table features positive click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°

and 45° for quick setting of common mitre angles.

Warning! Be sure to tighten the mitre table lock (7) before making a cut.

Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause

serious personal injury.

Bevel lock

The bevel lock (28) is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle. The mitre saw

bevel cuts from 0° to 45° to the left.

Note: The bevel lock lever (28) is spring loaded to allow r

epositioning of the handle

for maximum leverage in confined spaces. By pulling out the lever and at the same

time rotate to the opposite direction, then releasing will allow you to position the

handle again to turn in the desired direction for your continued tightening or

loosening application.

TOOL OPERATION

To adjust the bevel angle loosen the bevel lock (28) and tilt the mitre saw head

towards the left. This will enable the mitre saw blade (6) to be tilted to your

desired bevel angle.

Warning! Be sure to tighten the bevel lock (28) before making a cut.

Failure to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and

cause serious personal injury.

Clamp assembly

The material clamp (19) can be mounted to the fence (18), on either the Right or

Left of the fence. This will assist when making cuts when feeding materials from

either side of the saw.

When performing a bevel cut, the material clamp (19) should be positioned on the

right hand side of the fence (18).

Secure the material clamp (19) by tightening the bolt at the back of the fence (18).

Spindle lock

The spindle lock (29) prevents the blade in the saw from rotating. Depress and

hold the spindle lock (29) while installing, changing, or removing the blade (6).

Lower guard

The lower guard (4) provides protection to your hands and limbs when the mitre

saw head is in the up position or during the operation of the saw when the saw is

turned on and you are making a cut. It retracts over the upper guard (25) as the

saw is lowered into the work piece.

Dust bag

The dust bag (23) fits over the dust extraction port behind the carry handle (1).

For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag (23) when it is no more than half

full. This allows better air flow through the bag.

Note: Dust bags will not collect all the saw dust generated by the mitre saw. For

best results a dust extractor should be used in place of the dust bag.

Attaching the extension bars

The extension bars (16) help to support the material when working with long

workpieces.

Prior to inserting the extension bars (16) loosen the phillips locking screws (17) that

are located on either side of the mitre table (14) side wings.

The extension bars (16) fits on either side of the base (15) by inserting the two

ends of the extension bars (16) into the two holes in the end of the base (15).

Ensure the extension bars (16) are fully inserted before using them to support the

workpiece.

The locking screw (17) must be tightened to secure the extension bars (16) in position.

Attaching the stabilising bar

The stabilising bar (32) is fitted to the rear of the saw below the bevel lock (28) to

stabilise the saw during normal operation.

TOOL OPERATION (cont.)

Trench depth adjustment (see Fig 1).

In its normal position, the trenching stop plate (C)

permits the saw blade to cut right through a

workpiece. When the guard arm (24) is lifted, the

trenching stop plate (C) can be moved to the left so

that the trenching depth adjustment screw (A)

contacts the trenching stop plate (C) as the guard arm

(24) is lowered. This restricts the cut to a “trench” in

the workpiece. The depth of the trench can be

adjusted with the trenching depth adjustment screw

(A) and locked in position with the trenching depth

lock nut (B).

Warning! Do not adjust screw assembly (D). This adjustment ensures that the

saw blade will not cut into the base of the tool and the bench top on which

the tool is positioned on. The screw assembly (D) is factory set and should

not be adjusted by the operator. Failure to observe this could cause damage

to the tool and/or injury to the operator.

Switching the tool on

To turn the saw on, depress and hold the on/off switch (3). To turn the saw off, release

the on/off switch (3).

Setting the table square with the blade

Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the power point.

Push the switch handle (2) down to its lowest position and engage the lock down knob (26)

to hold the saw in the transport position.

Loosen the mitre table lock (7).

Rotate the mitre table (14) until the mitre angle indicator (11) is positioned at 0º.

Tighten the mitre table lock (7).

Loosen the bevel lock (28) and set at 0º bevel (the blade at 90º to the mitre table).

Tighten the bevel lock (28). Place a set square against the mitre table (14) and the flat

face of the mitre saw blade (6).

Note: Make sure that the square contacts the flat face of the mitre saw blade (6), not

the teeth.

Rotate the blade (6) by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several points.

The edge of the set square and the saw blade (6) should be parallel. If the saw blade (6)

angles away from the set square, adjust as follows.

Use an allen key to loosen the bevel adjust screw (31). Also, loosen the bevel lock (28).

Adjust the bevel adjust screw (31) to 0° with the allen key to bring the saw blade into

alignment with the square.

Loosen the Phillips head scr

ew holding the pointer of the bevel scale (20) and adjust the

position of the pointer so that it accurately indicates zer

o on the scale and r

etighten the

scr

. Retighten the bevel lock (28) and the bevel adjust scr

ew (31).

Fig. 1

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 (33) is on the

opposite side of the saw arm.

Setting the fence square with the table

Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the power point.

Push the switch handle (2) down to its lowest position and engage the lock down

knob (26) to hold the saw arm in the transport position.

Loosen the mitre table lock (7) and rotate the mitre table (14) until the mitre angle

indicator is positioned at 0º.

Tighten the mitre table lock (7). Loosen the four screws securing the fence (18) to

the base (15).

Place a square against the fence (18) and alongside the blade face (6). Adjust the

fence (18) until it is square with the blade face (6).

Tighten the screws securing the fence (18). Loosen the Phillips head screw holding

the mitre scale indicator (11) and adjust it so that it accurately indicates the zero

position on the mitre scale (12).

Retighten the screw securing the mitre scale indicator (11).

Changing a blade

Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the power point.

Danger! Never try to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the

saw. It might come into contact with the blade guards. Never use a blade

that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the

spindle. It will prevent the blade screw from properly securing the blade

on the spindle. Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry. Ensure that

any spacers and spindle bushes that may be required, suit the spindle

and the blade fitted.

Raise the mitre saw head to its highest position. Using a Phillips head screwdriver

loosen and remove the screw that secures the guard arm (24) to the lower guard (4).

Using a Phillips head screwdriver loosen and remove the screw that secures the

blade bolt cover (5).

Pull the lower guard (4) down then swing it up together with the blade bolt cover

(5). When the lower guard (4) is positioned over the upper guard (25), it is now

possible to access the blade bolt. Hold the lower guard (4) up and press the

spindle lock (29). Rotate the mitre saw blade until the spindle locks into position

and the blade is unable to turn. Use the allen key to loosen and remove the blade

bolt. (Loosen in a clockwise direction as the blade screw has a left hand thread).

Remove the flat washer, outer blade washer and the the mitre saw blade (6).

TOOL OPERATION (cont.)

Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner blade washer and the outer blade washer where

they contact the blade. Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking care that the inner

blade washer sits behind the blade.

CAUTION: To ensure correct blade rotation, ensure that the arrow direction

of blade is the same as the arrow on the upper guard (25).

Replace the outer blade washer. Fit a replacement mitre saw blade (6). Depress the

spindle lock (29) and replace the flat washer and blade bolt. Use the hex key to

tighten the blade bolt securely (tighten in an anticlockwise direction).

Lower the upper guard (25), hold the lower guard (4) and blade bolt cover (5) in

position and tighten the fixing screw. Position the guard arm (24) in place and secure

onto the lower guard (4).

Check that the blade guard (4) operates correctly and covers the blade as the saw arm

(24) is lowered.

Connect the saw to the power supply and depress the on/off switch (3) to start the

saw to make certain that the blade is installed correctly and does not make contact

with any part of the safety guards (4 and 25)..

Cross-cutting (without slide action)

When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not necessary to use the slide mechanism.

In this case ensure that the slide lock (27) is screwed down to prevent the saw arm

from sliding. A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the work piece.

A 90º crosscut is made with

the mitre table (14) set at 0º.

Mitre crosscuts are made with

the mitre table (14) set at an

angle other than zero.

To make a cut release the lock

down knob (26) and raise the

mitre saw head to its full

height. Loosen the mitre

table lock (7).

Rotate the mitre table (14) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.

Retighten the mitre table lock (7).

Warning! Be sure to tighten the mitre table lock (7) before making a cut.

Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause

serious personal injury.

Place the work piece flat on the mitr

e table (14) with one edge secur

ely against the

fence (18). If the boar

d is warped, place the convex side against the fence (18). If the

concave side is placed against the fence, the boar

d could br

eak and jam the blade.

Crosscut Mitre cut

When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with

the extension bars (16), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw

table. Use the material clamp (19) to secure the work piece wherever possible.

It is possible to remove the material clamp (19) and moving it to the other side of

the table. Make sure the material clamp (19) is secured to the fence (18) before

using it.

Before turning on the saw, perform a practice run of the cutting operation to check

that there are no problems. Hold the switch handle (2) firmly and squeeze the on/off

switch (3). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.

Press the on/off switch (3) and slowly lower the blade into and through the

workpiece.

Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the saw blade (6) to stop rotating before

lifting the blade (6) out of the workpiece. Also when performing a cut wait until the

blade (6) has come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

Cross-cutting (with slide action)

When cutting wide work pieces, first unscrew the

slide lock (27). Release the lock down knob (26),

raise the saw to its highest position and slide it

towards you. Hold the switch handle (2) firmly

and squeeze the on/off switch (3). Allow the

blade (6) to reach maximum speed.

Press the on/off switch (3) and slowly lower the

blade (6) into the workpiece and push it away

from you until the workpiece is cut. Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the

blade (6) to stop rotating before raising the blade (6) out of the workpiece. Also

when performing a cut wait until the blade (6) has come to a complete stop before

removing the workpiece.

Bevel cut

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the work piece with the mitre

saw blade (6) angled or beveled to the mitre table (14). The mitre table (14) is set

at the zero degree position and the mitre saw blade (6) set at 0º. Use the slide

action when cutting wide work piece.

Loosen the bevel lock (28) and move the saw to the left to the desired bevel angle

(between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (28). Place the work piece flat on the

table with one edge securely against the fence (18). If the board is warped, place

the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence,

the boar

d could br

eak and jam the blade. When cutting long pieces of timber

suppor

t the opposite end of the timber with the extension bars (16), a r

oller stand

or a work surface that is level with the saw table. Use the material clamp (19) to

secure the workpiece wherever possible.

TOOL OPERATION (cont.)

Warning! Be sure to tighten the bevel lock (28) before making a cut. Failure

to do so could result in the table moving during the cut, causing serious

personal injury.

It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (6) by loosening the clamp assembly lock

(7) and moving it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is

tight before using the clamp.

Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that

there are no problems.

Hold the operating handle (2) firmly and squeeze the on/off trigger switch (3). Allow

the blade to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade into and through

the workpiece.

Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising

the blade out of the workpiece. Also when performing a cut wait until the blade has

come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

Compound mitre cut

A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and

a bevel angle at the same time. It is used in making

picture frames, to cut mouldings, making boxes with

sloping sides and for roof framing. Always make a test

cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting into the

good material. Use the slide action when cutting

wide workpieces.

Lift the mitre saw head to its full height. Loosen the mitre

table lock (7). Rotate the mitre table (14) until the pointer

aligns with the desired angle on the mitre scale (12). Retighten the mitre lock (7).

Warning! Be sure to tighten the mitre lock (7) 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 (28) and move the motor head assembly to the left to the

desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º).

Tighten the bevel lock (28). Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge

securely against the fence (18). If the board is warped, place the convex side against

the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and

jam the blade.

Cutting long timber lengths

When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with

the extension bar (16), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw

table. (8). Use the material clamp (19) to secure the workpiece wherever possible.

It is possible to remove the material clamp (19) and move it to the other side of

the table. Make sure the material clamp (19) is secured to the fence (18) before

using it. Before turning on the saw, perform a practice run of the cutting operation

to check that there are no problems.

Hold the switch handle (2) firmly and squeeze the on/off switch (3). Allow the

blade to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade into and through

the workpiece.

Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the saw blade (6) to stop rotating before

raising the blade out of the workpiece. Also when performing a cut wait until the

blade has come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

Warning! Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is

removed from the power point before making any adjustments or

performing maintenance procedures.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by an electrician

or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Cleaning

1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.

2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a soft brush or a rag.

3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.

4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the

saw. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended.

General inspection

Regularly check that all fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
