IMPORTANT!
- Before repairing or maintaining the saw, disconnect the power cord from the power socket. The power cord must be
kept disconnected every time you adjust or maintain the machine.
- In order to prevent electric shock, fire or injury, only use identical replacement parts with equivalent characteristics.
- If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged, replace it immediately.
1. SAWDUST
A.
Wear safety goggles while using compressed air to clean your mitre saw.
Empty the dust bag regularly. Do not let sawdust build up around and under the saw. Use compressed air or a vacuum clea-
ner t o keep the working area clean.
Z. LOWER BLADE GUARD

,
Make sure that you have disconnected the power cord from the power socket before cleaning the lower blade guard.
Regularly check the proper working of the lower blade guard. Do not use the saw if the lower blade guard is damaged or
missing.
The lower blade guard is fitted on the machine for your safety.
Make sure that the lower blade guard is not covered in wood dust and that it is clean. Wipe the lower blade guard clean of
dust with a moist cloth.
N.B.: In order to not damage the lower blade guard, only clean it with a moist cloth. The use of solvents could damage the
guard plastic.

Read all the laser safety rules.
Check if the laser is clean and dust it if needed.
1. Switch off the mitre saw and laser. Disconnect the saw.
2, Dust the laser using a soft brush or a soft clean cloth or by blowing compressed air very gently.
4 . LUBRICATION
All bearings have lifelong lubrication and do not need to be lubricated.

Before repairing or maintaining the saw, disconnect the power cord from the power socket.
5. INSPECTING AND REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES
IMPORTANT! Disconnect the tool before checking the brushes.

P E U G E O T
The life of the brushes is variable. It depends on the workload of the motor. Check the brushes after every so hours of use if
the tool is new or after a new set of brushes is installed.

4. I'llt the carbon brushes back in the motor. Correctly put back the retaining springs.
5. Start the saw and let it run for about 5 to 10 minutes to break in the brushes. If the carbon brushes are not fitted properly,
the cut-out will not operate correctly and the motor may be damaged.The motor may spark slightly while the brushes are
being broken in. This is perfectly normal with new carbon brushes.
Warning: While using electric tools, always follow the
basic safety rules in order to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury. Read all these instructions ca-
refully before using the product and keep these instruc-
tions for future reference.
6. CHANGING THE BLADE
1 1
•
Replace the blade immediately if you observe any sign of damage or any anomaly.
Blunt and worn saw blades can lead to serious injury and make the cutting work ineffective.
IMPORTANT!
-Before changing the saw blade, disconnect the power cord from the power socket. The power cord must be kept
disconnected every time you adjust or maintain the saw.
- To avoid injury due to the projection of debris, do not use blades with a diameter smaller or larger than 305 mm.
- Do not use dull blades. This may be haiardous.
- Use only blades designed for cross cutting. While using carbide-tipped blades, make sure their cutting angle is zero
or negative. Do not use blades with deep gullets as they could bend and come in contact with the blade guard.
1. Raise the cutting arm of the saw.
2. Lift the lower blade guard (A) Fig.23 with one hand and w i t h the other hand, unscrew the t w o screws (B) holding the blade
guard plate (C) and the lower blade guard against the upper blade guard (D).
3. Pull the plate and hold the blade guard down, then place the whole assembly on the table. This will allow you to access the
blade bolt Fig.25
5. Remove the screw from the spindle using the key supplied (A) Flg.25.
NB: Turn the spindle screw clockwise to loosen and anticlockwise to tighten.
6. Remove the flange (C) from the outer spindle and take off the blade.
7. Clean the flanges before putting in the new saw blade. Only use blades with a 305 mm diameter. Check that the blade ro-
tation direction (arrow on the blade) matches that of the arrow on the upper blade guard. Make sure that the blade is behind
the flange.
8. Put a drop of oil on the inner and outer flange of the spindle.
9. Place the new saw blade on the spindle, making sure that the inner flange of the spindle has been installed.
