Locking the saw arm
The lock pin (32) secures the saw arm so that
it cannot move during transport or storage.
Press the saw arm down, and turn and pull
the lock pin out before use so that the saw
arm can be moved.
You can lock the saw arm in the low position
by pushing the lock pin in until it engages.
The saw must not be used if the lock pin is
securing the saw arm in a fixed position.
The mitre saw may only be lifted by the
carrying handle (27) during transport. The
saw arm must be locked during transport.
Preparation
Attach the mitre saw securely to a work
bench or workstation by fastening it securely
using bolts and nuts through the mounting
holes in the feet (13) of the saw.
Push the pull-out rails (7) into the holes on
either side of the mitre saw and secure them
in the required position using the lock knobs
(15).
Insert the screw clamp's (18) stanchion into
one of the sockets on the saw and secure
it using the wing nut. Tighten the clamp
at the required height using the lock knob
(17) on the side of the clamp and secure the
workpiece by tightening the knob at the top
of the clamp (23).
For bevel cutting, the clamp must always be
mounted on the right side of the saw arm.
Note that in some cases the clamp may block
the saw arm movement. If this happens, use
a different clamp to secure the workpiece.
Fit the dust bag (20) or connect a vacuum
cleaner or dust extraction device to the dust
extraction connector (21) on the mitre saw.
Loosen the lock knobs (31), and adjust
the adjustable guides as required. This is
especially important when bevel cutting at
45 degrees.
For vertical cuts the adjustable guides must
always be a maximum of 8 mm from the saw
blade.
For bevel cutting, the adjustable guides must
be a minimum of 8 mm from the saw blade.
Retighten the lock knobs (31).
Without starting the saw, check that the saw
blade cannot come into contact with the
adjustable guides during sawing.
The saw is now ready for use.
Settings
Setting the bevel angle
Loosen the lock knob (16) for the bevel angle
and tilt the saw arm to the left, until the
indicator is level with the required setting on
the scale (24) for the bevel angle. Retighten
the lock knob.
Setting the mitre angle
Loosen the lock knob (10) for the mitre angle.
Push the release knob (11) up, and turn the
arm (9) to the right or left, until the indicator
is level with the required number on the
scale for the mitre angle. Release the release
knob (11) and retighten the lock knob (10).
Adjust the guide (31) when the saw will be
used for mitre cuts.
The mitre saw is equipped with a series of
quick stops (12), so it is easy to adjust the saw
bench to the most common angles.
