FEATURES (Ref. Fig. 3) As its’ name implies, the machine is a Bevel/Mitre Saw, capable of straight cross cutting, and cutting bevels and mitres, or a combination of the two. The main arm, or Cutting Head, carries the motor and the tungsten carbide saw blade.
Loose items are: 1x Peg spanner, and 1x Box spanner Any deficiency or damage should be reported to your CLARKE dealer immediately. Mount the machine on a firm solid base that will not move under load.
When satisfied, press the Fig.4 Head Release Button (A), and gently lower the head so that the blade makes contact with the workpiece. Do not force the blade, a light pressure is all that is required. You will notice that to provide maximum safety, the blade is not exposed at any time, and the guard rises automatically...
C. Straight Bevel Cutting As with Mitre Cutting, this is a cross cutting operation, except that the blade is not perpendicular to the table, (see fig. 6). Ensure the table is set so that the mark (J), on the edge of the Fig.6 table, lines up with the zero on the scale on the bed.
Should the motor not function normally, it is possible that it has become clogged with saw dust, in which case, it will be necessary to disassemble the motor in order to clean the various components. Contact your CLARKE dealer for advice.

2. Remove the four bolts shown at F, Fig.9, and remove the Upper Blade Guard Cover. 3. With the cover removed, unscrew the blade securing bolt, with its washer, completely. Pull off the outer flange, and then the blade. (Take great care when handling the blade). You should take this opportunity to clean the inside of the blade guard of any dust build-up and check generally for security of parts.
