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.

Unpacking (ﬁ g. B)

• Remove the saw from the packing material carefully using the carrying

handle (10).

• Release the rail lock knob (16), and push the saw head back to lock it

in the rear position.

• Press down the operating handle (11) and pull out the lock down pin

(22), as shown.

• Gently release the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its

full height.

Bench mounting (ﬁ g. C)

• Holes (25) 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. Bolts with a

diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length is suggested. 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 ﬂ ush 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 ﬁ rm on the

mounting surface.

Mounting the saw blade (ﬁ g. D1 - D3)

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

• Never depress the spindle lock button while the blade is under

power or coasting.

or masonry or fibre cement product with this mitre saw.

• Depress the head lock up release lever (12) 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, depress the spindle

lock button (14) with one hand, then use the supplied blade spanner

(23) in the other hand to loosen the left-hand threaded blade locking

screw (37) 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.
