• 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 (12) to release the lower
guard (2),then raise the lower guard as far as possible.
• 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

against the inside arbor collar (41), 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 (38).
• Tighten the blade locking screw (37) 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

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 (fi g. E1–E4)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the
mitre arm (42).
• 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 (43).
• Place a square (44) against the left side of the fence (3) and blade (39)
(fi g. E3).
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the
square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screws (45) 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 (45). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre
pointer at this point.
Adjusting the mitre pointer (fi g. E1, E2 & F)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the
mitre arm (42).
• Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (46) to the zero position,
as shown in fi g. 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 (46) and mitre scale (7). If the pointer does not
indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (47), move the pointer to read
0° and tighten the screw.
Mitre lock/detent rod adjustment (fi g. A1, G)
If the base of the saw can be moved while the mitre lever (4) is locked,
the mitre lock/detent rod (48) must be adjusted.
32
• Unlock the mitre lever (4).
• Loosen the lock nut (61) on the miter lock rod.
• Fully tighten the mitre lock/detent rod (48) using a screwdriver.
Then loosen the rod one turn.
• Check that the table does not move when the lever (4) is locked at
a random (not preset) angle.
• Tighten lock nut (61).
Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (fi g. A2, H1–H4)
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21) and lift the bevel latch (20) to
release the saw arm.
• Move the saw arm until the latch locates it at the 0° bevel position.
Do not tighten the handle.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (43).
• Block the head saw down with the pin (22).
• Place a set square (44) on the table and up against the blade (39) (fi g. H2).
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the
square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the nuts (55) and move the saw arm assembly left or right until
the blade is at 90° to the table as measured with the square.
Retighten the nuts (55).
• If the bevel pointer (50) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (15),
loosen the screw (51) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as
necessary.
Adjusting the fence (fi g. I1 & I2)
The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing
the saw to bevel to a full 48° both left and right.
To adjust the left fence (3):
• Loosen the plastic knob (52) 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 (8):
• Loosen the plastic knob (53) and slide the fence to the right.
• Proceed as for adjusting the left fence.
WARNING: The guide grooves (54) can become clogged with
sawdust. Use a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide
grooves.
Adjusting the bevel clamping system (fi g. J)
If the saw arm can be moved when the bevel clamp handle (21) is locked,
the clamping sytem must be adjusted.
• Remove the screw (56) holding the handle.
• Lift off the handle and turn it 1/8 turn counterclockwise. Refi t the screw.
• Check that the saw arm does not move when the bevel clamp handle
(21) is locked at a random (not preset) angle.
Rail guide adjustment (fi g. J)
• Regularly check the rails for clearance.
• To reduce clearance, gradually rotate the set screw (57) clockwise
while sliding the saw head back and forth. Adjust the clearance to be
as small as possible without causing any slide resistance.
