OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
Intended Use
The machine is intended as a stationary machine for making straight lengthways and crossways cuts in wood.
Horizontal mitre angles of 0° to +45° as well as vertical bevel angles of 0° to +45° are possible.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING: To prevent the accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury, ALWAYS
assemble all parts to your saw BEFORE connecting it to the power supply. The saw should NEVER be
connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing
blades, or when not in use.
1. DUST EXTRACTION PORT (SEE FIG. A)
To reduce build up of saw dust and maintain the cutting
efficiency, saw dust collection can be achieved by
connecting a vaccum dust collector or cleaner to the
dust extraction port.
Alternatively, a dust bag is provided for use on your
mitre saw. To install it, hold the dust bag by depressing
both sides of the metal ring clip, and locate onto the dust
extraction port, then you can loosen the ring clip. Ensure
the dust bag is securely fastened before operating the saw.
To empty the dust bag, remove it from the dust extraction
port, open the dust bag by unzipping the slide fastener.
NOTE: To ensure optimal dust collecting, empty the dust
bag when it becomes filled to approximately 2/3 of its
capacity.
2. SIDE TABLE EXTENSIONS (SEE FIG. B1-B6)
Long work-pieces require extra supports. The supports should be placed along the work-piece so it does not sag. The
support should allow the work-piece to lay flat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation. Use
the work clamp to secure the work-piece.
This mitre saw is provided with extension bars for both sides, and a brace for only one side. To install the side extension
bars (Left & right) and the brace, follow the below instructions.
1) Loosen the screw on the side of the brace by turning it anti-clockwise. (See Fig. B1)
2) Attach the extension bar with the brace as shown in Fig. B2. Insert one end of the rail into the hole of the brace, the
other end into the notch of the brace.
3) Loosen and remove the screw on the corner of the base plate using a screwdriver. (See Fig. B3)
4) Invert the mitre saw for better visibility. Align and insert the 2 ends of the extension bar into the 2 holes at the edge of
the base plate. (See Fig. B4)
5) Re-tighten the screw on the corner of the base plate using a screwdriver to secure the extension bar. (See Fig. B5)
6) Position the brace upright as shown in Fig. B6.
7) Repeat step 3 to 5 for opposite extension bar without the brace.
