FEATURES 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 Fig 2 Head, carries the motor and the tungsten carbide saw blade.
On receipt inspect the machine to ensure that all parts are accounted for and that no damage was incurred during transit. Any deficiency or damage should be reported to your CLARKE dealer immediately. The main body of the saw is fully assembled and adjusted at the factory.
Enter the screw with washer down though the hole in the bed (See Fig.5, and B, Fig.3), and screw on the clamp from below by a few turns, open channel upwards. Slide the work support into place between the underside of the bed and the clamp and tighten the screw.
Allow the blade to reach full speed. If any unusual sounds or vibrations occur, release the Trigger immediately and investigate the cause. When satisfied, move the Head Release Lever, (C fig.7 and also shown in fig.10), sideways with the fingers of your right hand, and gently lower the head so that the blade comes into contact with the workpiece.
C. Straight Bevel Fig. 9 Cutting As with Mitre Cutting, this is a cross cutting operation, except that the blade is not perpendicular to the table, (see fig. 10). Ensure the Table is set so that the table pointer 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. Changing the Saw Blade IMPORTANT: Exercise extreme care when handling the saw blade.

4. Remove the outer flange followed by the blade. 5. Replace in reverse order, ensuring the tips of the blade point downwards at the front. 3. Renewing Motor Brushes Fig. 14 Eventually, the motors’ carbon brushes will need replacing. This task may be carried out quickly and easily as follows.
ADJUSTMENTS Ref: Fig 16 It may be necessary from time to time, to check various settings and make appropriate adjustments. Fig. 16 a. Squareness of Blade It is first of all most important to check that the blade is exactly perpendicular to the table.
