Note: These special stops can not be used with 45° crown
moulding.
Note: Since most rooms do not have angles of exactly 90°,
fine tuning is needed, always make a test cut to confirm the
correct angles.
Setting the cutting depth (fig. M)
The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive shallow
cuts.
● Adjust the cutting head down until the teeth of the blade
are at the required depth of cut.
● While holding the upper arm in position, turn the
stop knob (47) until it touches the stop plate (49).
● Check the blade depth by moving the cutting head front
to back through the full motion of a typical cut along the
control arm.
Carrying the tool (fig. N)
● Loosen the mitre detent lever (11) (fig. B) and turn the
table all the way to the right. Lock the table at the 45°
mitre angle.
● Pull the cutting head to the front of the saw and lock the
carriage with the lock knob (48) (fig. J).
● Lower the cutting head and push in the lock pin (46)
(fig. H).
● Carry the mitre saw with the front and the rear carrying
@
handles (24, 27).

Your mitre saw has been supplied with a negative rake saw
blade. It is advisable to use a negative rake saw blade.
● TCG type - For cutting aluminium sheets, tubing
extrusions and other non-ferrous metals such as copper,
brass.
● ATB type - For general cutting and trimming of wood,
plywood, and sizing pressboard, hardboard, and particle
board, when a neat cut is needed.
Always use a negative rake blade when cutting non-ferrous
@
metals.
Warning! Do not use any blade that requires a
spacer or spindle ring to fit. Only use blades as
specified in this manual.

Changing blades (fig.O - Q)
Warning! To avoid injury from accidental
starting, always remove the power plug from
the power source before changing the blades.
Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed and tooth type marked on
the saw blade. Only use STANLEY FATMAX
recommended blades.
To replace the saw blade (34), proceed as follows:
● Press the saw arm release lever (36) and rotate the
moveable lower guard counter clockwise and clear of the
blade. Use one hand to hold the guard in place (fig. O).
● Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the screw
(50). Do not remove the screw completely as this will
make re-assembly difficult.
● Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the screw
(51) until there is movement in the metal guard plate.
Do not remove the screw completely as this will make
re-assembly difficult.
● Move the metal upper guard plate counter clockwise (fig.
P). This will give you access to the spindle bolt (52) that
attaches the saw blade (34) to the mitre saw.
● Press and hold the spindle lock button (35) on the motor
housing, to lock the saw blade (34) and prevent it from
rotating.
● Using the supplied blade spanner, turn the spindle bolt
(52) in a clockwise direction to remove the bolt and the
saw blade (34).
● Fit a replacement blade, make sure that the teeth are
pointing downward and the direction marking on the blade
is the same as that on the mitre saws guard (clockwise)
(fig. P).
● Loosely fit the spindle bolt (52) by hand (turn counter
clockwise).
● Press and hold the spindle lock button (35) and use the
blade spanner to tighten the spindle bolt (52) until the
blade is secure.
● Replace the metal upper guard (26) into its original
position and tighten the two screws (50 and 51).
