Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms
of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the
operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space around
the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is not
too cold, machine and accessory is well maintained and the workpiece size
is suitable for this machine.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the “woodworking machines
regulations 1974” and any subsequent amendments.
Prior to operation:
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.
The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the
saw blade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
• Secure the workpiece.
• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials,
these operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only.
The same guide-lines apply to the other materials.
Do not cut ferrous (iron and steel) materials, fi bre cement or masonry
with this saw!
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf
slot is wider than 10 mm.
Switching on and off (fi g. K)
A hole (58) is provided in the on/ off switch (1) for insertion of a padlock to
lock the tool.
• To run the tool, press the on/off switch (1).
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
Body and hand position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the mitre saw
will make cutting easier, more accurate and safer.
• Never place your hands near the cutting area.
• Place your hands no closer than 150 mm from the blade.
• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting.
Keep your hands in position until the switch has been released and the
blade has completely stopped.
• Always make dry runs (without power) before fi nish cuts so that you
can check the path of the blade.
• Do not cross your hands.
• Keep both feet fi rmly on the fl oor and maintain proper balance.
• As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to
the side of the saw blade.
• Sight through the guard louvres when following a pencil line.
MIter Control (fi g. E1)
The mitre lever (4) and mitre latch (5) allows the saw to mitre 60 left and
50 right.
To miter the saw:
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) and set the
mitre angle desired on the miter scale.
• Push down on the mitre lever (4) to lock the saw table in place.
Bevel Control (fi g. H1, H4)
The bevel latch levers (20) and bevel clamp handle (21) allows the saw
to bevel 48º left and right. Your saw has two bevel latch levers (20), one
on either side of the rear support housing. Only one needs to be used to
move the bevel to either direction. The bevel clamp handle (21) is on top of
the rear support housing.
To bevel the saw:
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21). Lift one of the levers to
approximately 45º and set the bevel angle desired on the bevel scale
(15). Two bevel scales are provided for convenience.
• Lock the bevel clamp handle (21) to lock the bevel in place. The bevel
latch levers (20) can be lifted vertically to override the common stop
angles.
Slide Stop (fi g. T)
The slide stop (18) control positions your saws rails so that the largest
possible verticle moldings can be cut. ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE RAIL
LOCK KNOB WHEN USING THE SLIDE STOP TO PREVENT THE SLIDE
SYSTEM FROM MOVING UNINTENTIONALLY
Rail Lock Knob (fi g. A1, T)
The rail lock knob (16) allows you to lock the saw head fi rmly to keep it
from sliding on the rails. This is necessary when making certain cuts or
when transporting the saw.
Grooving Stop (fi g. A1, R)
The grooving stop (17) allows for groove cutting. Flipping the lever toward
the front of the saw and adjusting the thumbscrew changes the depth of
the groove cut. Flipping the lever toward the rear of the saw bypasses the
grooving stop.
Head Lock Down Pin (fi g. A2)
To lock the saw head in the down position, push the head down, push the
pin (22) in and release the saw head. This will hold the saw head safely
down for moving the saw from place to place. To release, press the saw
head down and pull the pin out.
Use of XPS
TM
LED Worklight System (fig. A1, A2))
NOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a power source.
The XPS
TM
LED Worklight System is equipped with an on/off switch (6).
The XPS
TM
LED Worklight System is independent of the mitre saw’s trigger
switch. The light does not need to be on in order to operate the saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
1. Turn on the XPS
TM
system, then pull down on the operating handle (11)
to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will
appear on the wood.
2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade’s shadow. You may have
to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order to match the pencil line
exactly.
BASIC SAW CUTS
Vertical straight cross cut (fi g. A1 & L)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the
mitre arm.
• Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the mitre lever.
• Place the wood to be cut against the fence (3 & 8).
• Take hold of the operating handle (11) and depress the head lock up
release lever (12) to release the head.
• Press the trigger switch (1) to start the motor.
• Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and
enter the plastic kerf plate (9).
• After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the saw blade
to come to a complete standstill before returning the head to its upper
rest position.
Performing a sliding cut (fi g. A1, M)
The guide rail allows cutting larger workpieces from 76.2 mm up to
111.8 mm using an out-down-back sliding motion.
• Release the rail lock knob (16).
• Pull the saw head towards you and switch the tool on.
• Lower the saw blade into the workpiece and push the head back to
complete the cut.
• Proceed as described above.
