6. Place the riving knife in its storage position against the saw head.
7. Replace the under-table guard

(Fig. D).
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.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories.
WARNING:
•
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.
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.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A1–A2, P)
This machine has two independent switching systems. In bench saw mode, the on/off
switch
1
(Fig. A1) is used. In mitre saw mode, the trigger switch
Bench Saw Mode (Fig. P)
The on/off switch used in bench saw mode offers multiple advantages:
-
no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for some reason, the switch has
to be deliberately reactivated.
extra safety: the hinged safety enclosure plate can be locked by passing a padlock
-
through the centre hasp. The plate also serves as an easy-to-locate stop button as
pressure on the front of the plate will depress the stop button.
To switch the machine on, press the green start button
To switch the machine off, press the red stop button
Mitre saw mode (Fig. A2)
To switch the machine on, press the trigger switch
To switch the machine off, release the trigger switch.
Basic saw cuts
Sawing in Mitre Saw Mode
It is dangerous to operate without guarding. Guards must be in position when sawing.
•
Make sure that the under-table guard does not become clogged with sawdust.
Clamping the Workpiece (Fig. Q, R, S, X)
WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure before a cut may become
unbalanced after a cut is completed. An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the
saw is attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut that may become
unbalanced, properly support the workpiece and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a
stable surface. Personal injury may occur.
WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the base of the saw whenever
the clamp is used. Always clamp the workpiece to the base of the saw – not to any other
part of the work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of the base of
the saw.
CAUTION: Always use a workpiece clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of
personal injury and workpiece damage.
Use the workpiece clamp
provided with your saw. Other aids such as spring clamps, bar
34
clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of material. The left side
fence will slide from side to side to aid in securing.
To Install clamp
1. Insert the workpiece clamp into the hole lateral to the mitre fence.
2. Rotate the clamp arm toward to the front of the mitre saw.
3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up and down and secure it in the choosen height.
4. Use the fine adjust knob to firmly clamp the workpiece.
nOTE: Place the clamp on the right side of the base when beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS
(UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE CLAMP
DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.

General Handling
•
In the mitre saw mode, the sawhead is automatically locked in the upper "park" position.
•
Squeezing the guard release lever will unlock the sawhead. Moving the sawhead down
retracts the moveable lower guard.
•
Never seek to prevent the lower guard returning to its park position when the cut
is completed.
•
The minimum length of offcut material is 10 mm.
•
When cutting UPVC sections, a supporting piece made out of timber with a
complementary profile should be placed beneath the material being cut to provide the
correct level of support.
Vertical Straight Cross Cut (Fig. Q)
1. Set the rotating table to 0° and make sure that the locating plunger is engaged.
2. Tighten the rotating table clamping knob.
3. Place the wood to be cut against the fence. Take hold of the control handle and press in
the guard retraction lever.
4. Switch the machine on.
5. Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
6. 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.
7. Release the guard retraction lever.
WARNING: Do not allow the sawhead to jump back unaided to prevent damage.
Mitre Cuts (Fig. R)
1. Set the required mitre angle.
2. Ensure that the rotating table clamp is tightly secured.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
4. Prevent the blade cutting the table if the angle is not 45°.
WARNING: When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut, position the
wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade with the greater angle to the
fence: left mitre, off-cut to the right mitre, off-cut to the left.
Bevel Cuts (Fig. A2, S)
1. Release the bevel clamp handle
22
and tilt the head to the angle required.
2. Tighten the bevel clamp handle.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Compound Mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut. The limitations are 35° mitre/30° bevel. Do
not exceed these limits.
Set the bevel angle and subsequently set the mitre angle.
Sawing in the Bench Mode
•
Always use the riving knife.
•
Always ensure that the riving knife and blade guard are correctly aligned.
•
Always ensure that the mitre saw is set and locked in 0° mitre.
WARNING: DO NOT cut any type of metal material.
Ripping (Fig. A2, T)
1. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
2. Adjust the saw blade height. The correct blade position is to have the tips of three teeth
above the top surface of the wood.
3. Set the parallel fence to the required distance.
4. Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece approx.
25 mm away from the saw blade.
5. Keep both hands away from the path of the saw blade.
6. Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
7. Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the upper blade guard, keeping it firmly pressed
against the fence. Allow the teeth to cut, and do not force the workpiece through the saw
blade. The saw blade speed should be kept constant.
8. Remember to use the push stick
when close to the blade.
17
9. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the saw blade to stop and remove
the workpiece.
WARNING: Never push or hold the free or cut-off side of the workpiece.
WARNING: Always use a push stick when ripping small workpieces.
Bevel Cuts (Fig. U)
1. Release the bevel clamp handle and set the blade to the required angle.
2. In order to prevent material jamming between the blade and the fence, position the fence
to the left of the blade.
3. Proceed as for vertical ripping.
Mitre Cuts (Fig. V1–V3)
1. To adjust the mitre fence, loosen the stop screw locknut
out until the mitre pointer reads 0° (Fig. V1).
2. Set the blade height and angle.
3. Insert the slide bar
83
of the mitre fence into the groove
side of the table (Fig. V2).
