Installation

UNPACKING (FIG. B1 & B2)

• Remove the saw from the packing material carefully.

• Release the rail lock knob (13), and push the saw head back to

lock it in the rear position.

• Press down the operating handle (18) and pull out the lock down

pin (14), as shown.

• Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to

its full height.

Bench Mounting (ﬁ g. C)

• Holes (40) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.

Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different

sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both.

Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance

the portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or

thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support

or moved to other job sites and reclamped.

• When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that

the mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood.

The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping

the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses

where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any

other point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.

• To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is

not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface,

place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is

firm on the mounting surface.

Assembly

Prior to assembly always unplug the tool.

MOUNTING THE SAW BLADE (FIG. E1–E5)

• Depress the head lock up release lever (17) to release the lower

guard (2),then raise the lower guard as far as possible.

• Loosen the guard bracket screw (43) sufficiently to allow the guard

bracket (44) to be raised to permit access to the blade locking

screw (45).

• With the lower guard held in the raised position by the guard

bracket screw (43) depress the spindle lock button (16) with one

hand, then use the supplied blade spanner (26) in the other hand

to loosen the left-hand threaded blade screw (45) by turning

clockwise.

To use the spindle lock, press the button as shown and

rotate the spindle by hand until you feel the lock engage.

Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from

turning.

• Remove the blade locking screw (45) and the outside arbor collar

(46).

• Install the saw blade (47) onto the shoulder (48) provided on the

inside arbor collar (49), making sure that the teeth at the bottom

edge of the blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away

from the operator).

• Replace the outer arbor collar (46).

• Tighten the blade locking screw (45) by turning counter-clockwise

while holding the spindle lock engaged with your other hand.

• Move the guard bracket (44) down so that it fully screens the blade

locking screw (45).

• Tighten the guard bracket screw (43).

• Never press the spindle lock while the blade is rotating.

• Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly tighten

the guard bracket screws after installing the blade.

Adjustment

Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.

Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment

due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the

steps below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should

remain accurate.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE BLADE TO THE FENCE (FIG. F1–F4)

• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release

the mitre arm (50).

• Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.

Do not tighten the lever.

• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (51).

• Place a square (52) against the left side (7) of the fence and blade

(47) (fig. F3).

Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the screws (53) and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left

or right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the

square.

• Retighten the screws (53). Pay no attention to the reading of the

mitre pointer at this point.

ADJUSTING THE MITRE POINTER (FIG. F1, F2 & G)

• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release

the mitre arm (50).

• Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (54) to the zero

position, as shown in fig. G.

• With the mitre lever loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place

as you rotate the mitre arm past zero.

• Observe the pointer (54) and mitre scale (6). If the pointer does not

indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (55), move the pointer to

read 0° and tighten the screw.
