ASSEMBLY CAUTION! Be sure that the mitre saw is switched off and disconnected from any current source before assembly or any kind of adjustment. ASSEMBLY OF THE ROTATING BASE HANDLE Before using your double bevel mitre saw, you have to assemble the rotating base handle (J) Fig.2.
Page 14 ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSIBLE SUPPORTS The mitre saw is equipped with two lateral extensible supports (A) Fig.5 useful to support long work-pieces during the cut. These supports can be assembled on both sides machine, depending dimensions of the work-piece. Unscrew the knob (B), insert the extensions into the slots on both sides of the base and Fig.5 lock the knobs again.
Page 15 CUT-END GUIDE EXTENSIONS The cut-end guide can be extended on both sides in case of wide work-pieces. To do this: Loosen hexagonal screw Fig.8 with a hexagonal wrench. Loosen the knob (C). Slide the extension (A) on the desired position and tight the screw (B), then the knob (C).
Page 16 SETTING THE CUT-END GUIDE FOR 90° CUT Make sure that the disk is perpendicular to the guide Block the mitre saw’s head in the low position, close the lock-knob in the transport position (see Fig.1).
