ENGLISH

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off

and disconnect machine from power source before

installing and removing accessories, before adjusting

or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure

the trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-

up can cause injury.

MOUNTING THE SAW BLADE (FIG. E1–E5)

• Never depress the spindle lock button while the blade is

under power or coasting.

• Do not cut light alloy and ferrous metal (containing iron or

steel) or masonry or fibre cement product with this mitre

saw.

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

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

possible.

1. 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 locking screw (45) by turning

clockwise.

WARNING! 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.

2. Remove the blade locking screw (45) and the outside arbor

collar 46).

3. 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).

4. Replace the outer arbor collar (46).

5. Tighten the blade locking screw (45) carefully by turning counter-

clockwise while holding the spindle lock engaged with your other

hand.

WARNING! Be aware the saw blade shall be replaced in

the described way only. Only use saw blades as specified

under Technical Data: Cat. no.: DT4320 is suggested.

Adjustment

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off

and disconnect machine from power source before

installing and removing accessories, before adjusting

or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure

the trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-

up can cause injury.

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 (3) of the fence and blade

(47) (fig. F3).

WARNING: 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.

MITRE LOCK/DETENT ROD ADJUSTMENT (FIG. H)

If the base of the saw can be moved while the mitre lever (4) is locked,

the mitre lock/detent rod (56) must be adjusted.

• Unlock the mitre lever (4).

• Fully tighten the mitre lock/detent rod (56) using a screwdriver (57).

Then loosen the rod a quarter of a turn.

• Check that the table does not move when the lever (4) is locked at

a random (not preset) angle.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE BLADE TO THE TABLE (FIG. I1–I4)

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (11).

• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and

tighten the bevel clamp handle.

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

• Place a set square (52) on the table and up against the blade (47)

(fig. I2).

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with

the square.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (11) and turn the vertical position

adjustment stop screw (28) in or out until the blade is at 90° to the

table as measured with the square.

• If the bevel pointer (58) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale

(10), loosen the screw (59) that secures the pointer and move the

pointer as necessary.

ADJUSTING THE FENCE (FIG. J1, J2)

The upper part of the left side of the fence can be adjusted to the left to

provide clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 48° left. To adjust

the fence (3):

• Loosen the plastic knob (29) and slide the fence to the left.

• Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance.

Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide

maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and

down movement of the arm.

• Tighten the knob securely.

WARNING: The guide groove (60) can become clogged

with sawdust. Use a stick or some low pressure air to clear

the guide groove.

The moveable part of the right side of the fence can be adjusted to

provide maximum support of the workpiece near the blade, while

allowing the saw to bevel to a full 45° left. The sliding distance is limited

by stops in both directions.
