Quality of cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g. the
material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and
other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower,
even cutting rate will produce the desired results.
Ensure that the material does not creep while cutting; clamp it
securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop
before raising the arm. If small fibres of wood still split out at
the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on the
wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and
carefully remove tape when finished.
Setting the mitre (fig. A1)
The mitre arm can be preset to 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 31.6° and 45° left and
right. It is also possible to set the mitre angle to 48°.
• Loosen the mitre clamping knob (12) and lift the positive stop lever (11)
to release the mitre arm.
• Move the arm to the required angle and lock it using the mitre clamping
knob (12).
• Align the mitre arm (13) as shown in fig. H1 - H3 by moving the edge of
the arm to the required mark on the scale:
- left of 0° : red marks
- right of 0° : black marks
When mitre cutting, ensure that the off-cut is not wedged
between the blade and the fence, i.e. the off-cut angle is greater
than 90° to avoid that the off-cut is picked up by the blade.
Setting the bevel (fig. K1)
• Set the 45°/48° adjustment handle (58) to the required position.
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (19) and bevel the head to the left;
there are marked positions at 0°, 15°, 30°, 33.85° and 45°.
• Hold the head firmly and do not allow it to fall.
• Holding the head, lock the bevel clamp handle (19) securely.
Vertical straight cross-cut (fig. A2 & M)
• Loosen the mitre clamping knob (12) and lift the positive stop lever (11)
upwards (fig. A2).
• Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the mitre clamping
knob.
• Place the wood to be cut against the fence.
• Take hold of the carrying handle (3) and press the head lock up release
lever (2) to release the head. Press the trigger switch (1) to start the
motor. It is recommended to start the cut near the fence (fig. M)
• Press the head and allow the blade to cut though the workpiece.
Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• When the head is fully depressed, slowly pull it across to complete the cut.
• After completing the cut, release the switch and the lock up release
lever (2) and return the head to its upper rest position.
• For some types of plastic profiles, it is advisable to follow the
sequence in reverse order.
• The lower blade guard is designed to close quickly when the
lever (2) is released. If it does not close within 1 second,
have the saw serviced by an Elu authorized repair agent.
Vertical mitre cross-cut (fig. A2 & N)
• Loosen the mitre clamping knob (12) and lift the positive stop lever (11)
upwards (fig. A2).
• Move the head left or right to the required angle. There are preset
positions at 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° (fig. N).
• If any intermediate angle or 48° is required hold the head firmly and
lock by tightening the mitre clamp knob.
• Always ensure that the mitre clamp knob is locked tightly before cutting.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (19) (fig. A2).
• Using an Allen key, adjust the screw (55) as required (fig. J2).
• Check that the bevel indicator (56) indicates 0° on the bevel scale (20)
(fig. J3).
• If not, loosen the two screws (57) move the scale (20) as required and
tighten the two screws.
Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. J3, K1 & K2)
Your saw has a bevel adjustment handle with knurled end (58) that allows
the fixed position to be set at 45° or 48° as required (fig. K1).
- Out = 48°
- In = 45°
• Push in the 45°/48° adjustment handle (58).
• Push the bevel clamp handle (19) down.
• Move the saw head to the left, to its maximum bevel position.
• Check that the angle is exactly 45° using a protractor (fig. K2).
• If adjustment is required, turn the bevel adjustment screw (59) as
required (fig. J3).
While performing this adjustment, it is advisable to take the
weight of the saw head by holding it. This will make it easier to
turn the adjustment screw.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
• The attention of UK users is drawn to the “woodworking
machines regulations 1974” and any subsequent amendments.
• Ensure the material to be sawn is firmly secured in place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side
pressure on the saw blade.
• Avoid overloading.
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.
Switching ON and OFF (fig. L1 & L2)
