Assembly
Your mitre saw is part assembled in the carton.
Open the box and lift the saw out.
u
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a work-
u
bench or strong table.
Examine Assembly diagram on page 2 of this manual to
u
become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The
section on adjustments will refer to these terms and you
must know what and where the parts are.
When the tool is shipped, the head is locked in the
u
lowered position by the saw head locking pin (17). Pull the
saw head locking pin (17) as shown in figure A
The mitre locking knob (9) is not assembled for shipping.
u
Remove the mitre locking knob (9) from the packaging
and screw onto the saw, see figure B for position.
Table extension rail (Fig. C & D)
Your mitre saw is supplied with 2 table extension rails (5) to
support long overhanging workpieces.
Pull the table extension rail (5) to the required length for
u
the workpiece as shown in figure C.
Secure in position by tightening the extension rail locking
u
screw (22), as shown in figure D.
Repeat the process on opposite side.
u
Bench mounting (Fig.
The mitre saw can be bolted with four bolts (6a) (not provided)
to a level and stable surface using the bolt holes (6) provided
in the tools base. This will help prevent tipping and possible
injury.
F
Dust collection (Fig.
The use of the dust bag (23) makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy.
To attach the dust bag (23), fit it onto the dust nozzle
u
(23a).
.

)
)
(Original instructions)
When the dust bag (23) is about half full, remove it from
u
the tool.
Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as
u
to remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.
Note: If you connect a workshop vacuum to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
To install workpiece clamp (Fig. G)
Insert the clamp (4) into the hole (4c) behind the
u
fence. The clamp should be facing toward the
back of the miter saw. The groove on the clamp
rod should be fully inserted into the base. Ensure
this groove is fully inserted into the base of the
miter saw. If the groove is visible, the clamp will
not be secure. Secure the clamp rod by tightening the
clamp locking screw (3)
Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the
u
miter saw.
Loosen the knob (4b) to adjust the clamp up or down,
u
then use the fine adjust knob (4a) to firmly clamp the
workpiece.
Note: Place the clamp on the opposite side of the base when
beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BE-
FORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE.
ENSURE THE CLAMP DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.
Changing or installing a new saw blade (Fig.
H, I, J)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
off the tool and disconnect it from the power source before
attempting to move it, change accessories or make any
adjustments.
Warning! Never depress the spindle lock (31) button while the
blade is under power or coasting.
Warning! Do not cut ferrous metal (containing iron or steel) or
masonry or fiber cement product with this mitre saw.
Removing the blade
Unplug the saw.
u
Raise the arm to the upper position and push the guard
u
(14) up as far as possible.
Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw (13c) until
u
the bracket can be raised far enough to access the
blade screw (13a). Lower guard will remain raised due to
the position of the guard bracket screw as shown in
figure H.
Depress the spindle lock button (31) while carefully
u
rotating the saw blade by hand until the lock engages as
shown in figure I.
Keeping the button depressed, use the other hand and
u
the blade changing tool provided (30) to loosen the blade
