Bench mounting (Fig.
The mitre saw can be bolted with four bolts (5a) (not provided)
to a level and stable surface using the bolt holes (5) provided
in the tools base.
This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
D
Dust collection (Fig.
The use of the dust bag (22) makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy.
To attach the dust bag (22), fit it onto the dust nozzle
u
(22a).
When the dust bag (22) 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. E)
Insert the clamp (3) into the hole (3c) 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 (3c)
Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the
u
miter saw.
Loosen the knob (3b) to adjust the clamp up or down,
u
then use the fine adjust knob (3a) 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. F,
G, H)
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 (24) 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.

Lower guard will remain raised due to the position of the
guard bracket screw as shown in figure F.
Depress the spindle lock button (24) while carefully
u
rotating the saw blade by hand until the lock engages as
shown in figure G.
Keeping the button depressed, use the other hand and
u
the blade changing tool provided (25) to loosen the blade
screw (12a). (Turn clockwise, left-hand threads.)

With the arm raised, the guard held open and the guard
u
bracket raised, place the blade on the spindle, onto the
blade adapter and against the inner blade clamp with the
teeth at the bottom of the blade pointing toward the back
of the saw.
Assemble the outer clamp washer onto the spindle.
u
Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock,
u
tighten the screw firmly with wrench provided (turn coun-
terclockwise, left-hand threads).
Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw (12c) and
u

u
Move the rotary table (10) to the position where the
u
pointer (6) points to the desired angle on the mitre scale,
tighten the grip clockwise.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. J)
When tilting the carriage to the left, loosen the lever (1) at the
rear of the tool counterclockwise. Unlock the arm by pushing
the handle somewhat strongly in one direction only.
Tilt the saw blade until the pointer (23) points to the
u
desired angle on the bevel scale (23a).
Tighten the lever (1) clockwise firmly to secure the arm.
u
Warning! When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the
