6. ASSEMBLING THE REAR EXTENSION
This mitre saw has a rear extension (A) Fig. 6, which makes
the saw more stable if the head is accidentally released by
preventing it from tilting backwards.

7. ASSEMBLING THE DUST BAG
Insert the dust bag (A) Fig.7 into the connection port (B) and
check that it is properly secured.
If you wish to improve dust removal, a vacuum cleaner w i t h
a dust removal pipe may be connected directly to the extrac-
tion elbow of the saw.
NB: Empty the bag regularly in order to avoid a build up of
dust. The dust bag has a zip fastener to make it easier t o
empty.The dust bag may also be rinsed with warm soapy
water and dried before reuse.
Make sure that the bag's zip fastener is closed before you
use the saw.
j \T I Dust particles can give rise to
*
respiratory problems. For your own protection, the
use of dust masks that comply with applicable standards is
recommended.
8. GUIDE FENCE EXTENSIONS
The guide fence may be extended on the sides while cutting
wide workpieces. To do so:
1. Loosen the Allen key screw (B) Fig.8 using the Allen key.
2. Loosen the locking knob (C).
3. Slide the extension (A) to the required position and tigh-
ten the screw (B) and the knob (C) once more.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
/ j \: Before adjusting the saw, make sure it is disconnected from the power source.
.5rsafe, accurate and effective saw operation, the following adjustment procedures must be complied with.
When all the adjustments have been made, make sure that all the keys and tools are outside the machine and that all the
screws, bolts and other fasteners are correctly fastened.
Do not use the saw before following these procedures.
While you make these adjustments, check that all the external parts are operating correctly and are in good condition.
Any damaged or broken parts must be replaced by a qualified person before the saw is used.

1. FASTENING THE SAW TO A SURFACE
Before use, the saw must be fastened securely to a level surface.
1. Four holes are located at the ends of the saw base t o fasten the saw to a workbench or other supporting surface.
2. If you use lateral extension wings, fit them before securing the saw to the supporting surface.
3. If the saw is often moved, mount it on a plywood base (at least 20 mm thick), which can then be easily clamped to any
maintaining surface.
|\T 1 Make sure that the plywood base is not corrugated, as a base that is not level would have an adverse
effect on cutting.
Check the following adjustments to be sure of achieving an exact cut.
2. INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF ANGLES IN RELATION TO THE BLADE
The different angle positions for mitre cuts have been adjusted in the factory. However, for precision work, check whether the
angles are correct before you use your mitre saw.
ADJUSTING THE GUIDE FENCE FOR A go' MITRE CUT
Make sure that the blade is perpendicular t o the guide fence.
1. Lock down the saw head, tightening the locking knob to put the saw in the transport position (see Fig.i).
2. Loosen the mitre handle and set it 0°.Tighten the mitre handle once more.
3. Loosen the bevel adjustment handle on the rear of the machine and set the bevel t o 0°. Then tighten the bevel adjustment
handle once more.
4. Set one end of 3 square (not supplied) against the guide fence and the other against the saw blade. Make sure that the
square is correctly positioned along the blade without touching its teeth. When the square is correctly positioned, its t w o
ends must be fully in contact with the saw blade and the guide fence.
5. If the saw blade is not in contact with the square, adjust the guide fence as follows:
• Remove the Allen key screws and loosen the t w o
locking knobs that hold the guide fence extensions.
Slide out and remove the extensions.
• Loosen the four Allen key screws (A) Fig.9 on the
two sides of the guide fence.
• Place the square against the saw blade. Move the
guide until it is fully in contact with the end of the
square.
• Fasten the four Allen key screws (A) and put back
the guide fence extensions.
ADJUSTING THE SAW TABLE IN RELATION TO THE BLADE
Make sure that the saw blade is perpendicular to the saw table.
1. Lock down the saw head, tightening the locking knob to put the saw in the transport position (see Fig.i).
2. Loosen the mitre handle and set it o°. Tighten the mitre handle once more.
3. Loosen the bevel adjustment handle on the rear of the machine and set the bevel to o°.Then tighten the bevel adjustment
handle once more.
4. Set one end of a square (not supplied) on the table and the other against the flat part of the saw blade. Make sure that
the square is in contact with the blade but does not touch its teeth. When the square is correctly positioned, the t w o ends of
the square must be fully in contact with the saw blade and the table of the mitre saw.
5. If the saw blade does not fully touch the end of the square:
• Unfasten the locking nuts (A) Fig.10 (located on either side of the bevel adjustment handle) to release the t w o
bolts (B).
• Loosen the bevel adjustment handle (C) and pull the adjustment button (D) towards you.
• Place the square against the saw table.
