(Original instructions)
Mitre angle adjustment
The sliding compound mitre saw scale can be easily read
showing mitre angles from 0° to 47° to the left and the right.
The most common angle cut setting slots have positive stops,
permitting fast adjustments to the required position. Follow the
process below for quickest and most accurate adjustments.
Mitre clamp (fig. B)
The mitre clamp (9) allows the saw to be set to specific angles
other than the preset angles of 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 47°
which are set using the mitre detent lever (11).
Adjusting the bevel stops at 90° and 45° (fig. C - F)
Loosen the bevel lock handle (30) and move the cutting
u
head all the way to the right and tighten the bevel lock
handle.
Use a square to set the blade at 90° to the table (fig. D).
u
If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock nut (41) and
u
adjust the bolt (40) with the wrench so that the blade is
90° to the table.
Tighten the lock nut (41).
u
Align the bevel indicator (39) with the 0° mark by adjusting
u
the screw (38).
When adjusting the 45° stop, make sure that the left-hand
high sliding fence (22) is adjusted so that the cutting head can
be moved to the 45° position (fig. E).
Release the high sliding fence clamp (20) and move the
u
high sliding fence (22) away from the blade.
Tighten the high sliding fence clamp (20).
u
Pull out the 33.9° bevel pin (23) and follow the same
u
procedures for the 90° but move the cutting head to the
left and use the lock nut (43) and adjustment bolt (42).
Adjusting the fence (fig. G - H)
Lower the cutting head and push in the lock pin (46).
u
Make sure that the table is in 0° mitre position.
Place a combination square against the left-hand fence
u
(21) and next to the saw blade (34) (fig. G).
If the blade does not contact the square along it's length,
u
loosen the three screws (44) (fig. H) and adjust the fence.
Tighten the three screws (44).
u
Bench mounting (fig. I)
Note: We highly recommend that you bolt this mitre saw
securely to a work bench to gain the maximum stability of
your machine. Make sure that the machine is fixed to a bench
whenever possible.
Locate and mark the four bolt holes on the bench.
u
Drill the bench with an Ø10 mm drill bit.
u
Bolt the mitre saw onto the bench with bolts, washers and
u
nuts.
Note: These fasteners are not supplied with the tool.
