Special Cuts
♦ All cuts are made with the material secured to the
table and against the fence. Be sure to properly secure
workpiece.
Bowed Material (Fig. 35, 36)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown
in Figure 35 and never like that shown in Figure 36.
Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch
the blade near the completion of the cut.
Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be
cut just like wood/ aluminum and clamped or held firmly
to the fence to keep it from rolling. This is extremely
important when making angle cuts.
Cutting Large Material (Fig. 37)
Occasionally a piece of wood will be too large to fit beneath
the blade guard. A little extra height can be gained by
rolling the guard up out of the way, as shown in Figure 37.
Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need be, the
saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER
TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN
WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
Dust Extraction (Fig. 2, 3)
Fit the dustbag (ff) onto the dust spout (n).
WARNING: Whenever possible, connect a dust
extraction device designed in accordance with
the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Connect a dust collection device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations. The air velocity
of externally connected systems shall be 20 m/s ±2 m/s.
Velocity to be measured in the connection tube at the point
of connection, with the tool connected but not running.
Transporting (Fig. 4, 5)
In order to conveniently carry the mitre saw, a carrying
handle (m) has been included on the top of the saw arm.
♦ To transport the saw, lower the head and depress the
lock down pin (o).
♦ Always use the carrying handle (m) or the hand
indentations (r) shown in figure 5 to transport the saw.

saw.
Cleaning
Before use, carefully check the upper blade guard,
movable lower blade guard as well as the dust extraction
tube to determine that it will operate properly. Ensure that
chips, dust or workpiece particle cannot lead to blockage
of one of the functions.
In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw
blade and guards disconnect the machine from the
power supply and follow the instructions given in section
Mounting the Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and
reassembling the saw blade.
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main
housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen
collecting in and around the air vents. Wear

chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
