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. (fig. D4).

• Remove the blade locking screw (33) and the outside arbor collar (34).

• Install the saw blade (35) onto the blade adaptor (36) seated directly

against the inside arbor collar (37), 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 (34).

• Tighten the blade locking screw (33) by turning counter-clockwise while

holding the spindle lock engaged with your other hand.

rotating. Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly

tighten the guard bracket screw after installing the blade.

WARNING: The guard bracket must be returned to its original

position and the screw tightened before activating the saw.

Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the spinning

saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and severe personal

injury.

ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn off tool and

disconnect from power source before attempting to move it,

changing accessories or making any adjustments accept as

written in laser adjustment instructions.

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. E1–E4)

• Release the mitre lever (4) and squeeze the mitre latch (5) upwards to

release the mitre arm (38).

• 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 (39).

• Place a square (40) against the left side of the fence (3) and blade (35)

(fig. E3).

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

square.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the screws (41) 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 (41). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre

pointer at this point.

Adjusting the Mitre Pointer (fig. E1, E2, F)

• Release the mitre lever (4) and squeeze the mitre latch (5) upwards to

release the mitre arm (38).

• Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (42) to the zero position, as

shown in fig. F.

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

you rotate the mitre arm past zero.

• Observe the pointer (42) and mitre scale (6) through the viewing opening

(43). If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (45),

move the plastic moulding (44) to read 0° and tighten the screw.

Mitre lock/Detent Rod Adjustment (fig. G)

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

mitre lock/detent rod (47) must be adjusted.

• Unlock the mitre lever (4).

• Loosen the locking screw (46) using an hex key.

• Fully tighten the mitre lock/detent rod (47) using a screwdriver.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.

• Tighten the locking screw (46).

Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Table (fig. H1–H4)

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (14).

• 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 (39).

• Place a set square (40) on the table and up against the blade (35)

(fig. H2).

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 (14) and turn the vertical position

adjustment stop screw (19) in or out until the blade is at 90° to the table

as measured with the square.

• If the bevel pointer (48) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (15),

loosen the screw (49) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as

necessary.

Adjusting the Fence (fig. I1, I2)

The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing

the saw to bevel to a full 50° both left and right.

To Adjust the Left Fence (3):

• Loosen the plastic knob (50) 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.

To Adjust the Right Fence (7):

• Loosen the plastic knob (51) and slide the fence to the right.

• Proceed as for adjusting the left fence.

WARNING: The guide grooves (52) can become clogged with

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

grooves.

Overriding the Right Bevel Lock (fig. H1)

The right bevel is locked to facilitate the setting of the saw blade in the

vertical position.

• To override the right bevel lock, pull out the override pin (20) and turn it

half a turn to keep it in this position.

• To discontinue the override, turn the pin half a turn back in its original

position. The lock re-engages as soon as the saw blade reaches vertical

position.

Checking and Adjusting the Bevel Angle (fig. I1, I2, J1–J9)

Left Bevel Angle

• Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (50) and slide the upper part

of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go.
