ASSEMBLY The saw must be stable and not move about in operation. The saw must be mounted on a level, firm work surface before using. ROTARY TABLE LOCK HANDLE To install the rotary table lock handle,place the threaded stud at the outside of the threaded hole and turn clockwise to tighten.(See fig2) DUST EXTRACTION PORT To reduce build up of saw dust and maintain efficiency of cutting, the saw may be connected to a workshop vacuum cleaner via the dust outlet. A dust bag is provided for use on your mitre saw. To install it simply fit the dust bag over the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. (See fig3) To empty the dust bag, remove from the dust exhaust port, open the dust bag by unzipping the slide fastener.

Note:If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation slots, do not panic this is normal and will not damage the machine. 1. MOUNTING THE SAW The saw must be stable and not move about in operation.Before use, the saw must be fixed to a stable bench.Fixing holes are design on each foot of the base.Put the machine on a flat plate(should not be thicker than the bolts used, drill four holes on the plate through fixing holes,then assemble the screws through the holes,and secure the mitre saw with the nuts. 2. RELEASING THE SAW HEAD When you first open the box you will find that the saw head is locked in the down position for transportation purposes. To release the head ready for operation apply downward pressure and pull out the lock pin, then turn 900 left or right to lock it in place. The head will now be free to be raised gently to the upper position. (See fig6) 3. STARTING THE SAW Connect the machine to a power outlet, make sure that the mains cable is clear of the blade and base plate. Push the safety button and squeeze the trigger switch. Allow the motor to reach full speed. When the blade has reached maximum speed, unlock the blade guard by operating the safety release lever using your forefinger.(See point 1 Main Diagram.) 4. TO MAKE A CUT 1.Position the material to be cut on the rotating work support table, ensure it is firmly clamped so that it will not move during cutting. 2.Push the safety button and press trigger and allow the saw blade to run up the speed. 3.Still holding in the start trigger, use your right hand forefinger to push the safety release lever to the left. It will then be feasible to push the saw head down by the handle. (See fig7) 4.Continue to move the saw head down smoothly and make the cut exerting only gentle pressure on the downward stroke, letting the Saw do the
work. 5. MITRE CUT (See fig8) A mitre cut is made at 0o bevel and any mitre angle in the range from 45o left to 45o right. The table can be turned 45o both left and right from the normal cross-cut 0 position to make a mitre cut. For most convenient operation, your mitre saw is equipped with mitre indents for fast and accurate mitre cuts of common mitre angles (Left: 45o, 30o, 22.5o, 15o; 0o; Right: 15o, 22.5o, 30o, 45o.) 1.Loosen the table lock handle by screwing it anticlockwise. 2.Move the saw to the desired angle by pressing the index lock lever and pushing the table lock handle so that the table turns. Set at the desired angle, and screw the lock handle clockwise and make sure it is fully tightened before cutting. 6. BEVEL CUT USING THE HEAD TILT (see fig9 & 10) A bevel cut is made at 0O mitre and any bevel angle in the range of 0O to 45O. The saw can be moved from the normal 90O - perpendicular position to an angled position down to 45O from the horizontal, on the left only. Loosen the clamping knob and tilt the saw head to the left, until the desired angle is reached on the bevel scale. Re-tighten the clamping knob and make your cut.

MAINTENANCE
Fig 17
Warning: Before making any adjust ment, maintenance to the saw, make sure that it is disconnected from mains supply. When all the adjustments, settings or maintenance have been done, make sure that all keys and wrenches have been removed and that all screws, bolts and other fittings are securely tightened. PRECISION SETTING OF ANGLES While the machine has been factory set, it is advisable that the 0O setting of the rotary table and the 90O perpendicular setting of the tilt be checked, as these positions may have moved in transit. To confirm the 0O rotary table setting, set the rotary table at 0O and tighten the rotary table lock handle. Check that the angle between the straight guide and the blade is 90O using an engineers square (A, not supplied). (see Fig13). If the angle requires adjustment, loosen two straight guide clamp screws (as shown in Fig4) and align the straight guide against the engineers square. Retighten the clamp screws. Similarly check that the angle of the blade to the face of the table is 90O. If it is not vertical, use a suitable slotted screwdriver, loosen the 90O screw (See Fig 12 No 1), set to the correct position and re tighten the screw. The 45O can also be adjusted. First check the angle with a 45O set square (not provided and see Fig 15). To adjust, loosen the 45O screw (See Fig 12 No 2), set to correct angle and re tighten the screw. Note: The position of bevel scale pointer may have moved in transit or after use. Use a screwdriver to adjust it if necessary. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE Warning: Disconnect the saw from the power supply. Loosen and remove the blade securing bolt and outer flange with the spanners provided. (See fig 16)
Note: The blade securing bolt has a left hand thread. Remove the blade, (we recommend the use of a stout glove for this). Clean any saw dust and debris from the arbor and saw blade securing flanges. To refit the blade follow the above procedure in reverse order. If you take the inner flange off to clean re-fit as shown in fig17. MOVING THE SAW 1.When transporting the saw between locations make sure that: 1. The saw head is locked in the lower position. 2.The rotary table lock handle, the head tilt clamping knob and the slide rod-locking lever are all securely tightened. 3.You use the transportation handle to lift the saw. Do not lift the saw by the switch handle.
