Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ! Warning! Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool. Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the blade. • When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves. • Ensure that there is adequate general or localised lighting. • Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place. • Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry. • Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this saw. • Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine. • Do not use this saw to cut firewood. • Keep the area free of tripping hazards. • Report faults in the machine, including guards and saw blades, as soon as they are discovered. • Ensure that the machine is always fixed to a bench, whenever possible. • Always stand to one side when operating the saw. • Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. • When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the workpiece from turning on both sides of the blade. • Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the blade. • Use only blades as recommended by the manufacturer and which conform to EN 847-1. • Do not use blades of High Speed Steel (HSS blades). • If the table insert is damaged or worn, have it replaced by a power tool repairer. • Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never be left around the work area. • Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other foreign objects before operating the saw. • Support the work properly. • Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is running and the saw head is not in the rest position. • Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first switching off the machine. 7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR MITRE SAWS (cont.) • Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest without assistance. • If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch off before looking up. • Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened. • Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that they could fall into it. • Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable, the metal parts of the saw will become “live”. Switch off at the mains and remove the plug immediately. • Never saw near combustible liquids or gases. • Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade. • Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and always ensure that it is working properly, freely rotating and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade. • Connect the saw to a dust collection device and ensure that it is operating properly. As the operator of the saw, please make sure that you understand factors that influence exposure to dust, including the type of material to be cut, the importance of local extraction and the proper adjustment of hoods/baffles/chutes of your dust extraction system. We recommend that you always wear a dust mask when operating this saw. • Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials. • Saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever possible. • Select saw blades in relation to the material being cut. • Use correctly sharpened saw blades and observe the maximum speed marked on the blade. • Take additional care when trenching (slotting). • The mitre saw can be safely carried by the carrying handle but only once it has been removed from the mains power and secured in the locked down position. • Ensure that the arm is properly secure when bevelling. • Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of loose materials. • Ensure that you are trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine. • Do not remove any cut-offs from the cutting area until the mitre saw head is in the full upright position, the blade guard is fully enclosing the blade and the blade has come to a rest or complete stop. • When cutting long pieces which extend well over the table width, ensure that the ends are adequately supported at the same height as the saw table top. Supports should be positioned in such a way to ensure that the workpiece does not fall to the ground once the cut has been made. A number of supports at regular intervals may be required if the workpiece is extremely long. 8 - Wear goggles - Wear earmuffs - Wear a breathing mask TOOL OPERATION Transportation Only lift the saw when the head of the mitre saw is locked in the down position, the saw is turned off and the plug is removed from the power point. To lock the mitre saw head in the down position push the mitre saw head down towards the base and engage the lock down knob (26). This will ensure that the mitre saw head is locked in the down position and enable you to lift the mitre saw by the carry handle (1) safely. Only lift the saw by the carrying handle (1) or outer castings. Do not lift the saw using the upper guard (25) or switch handle (2). Bench mounting The saw has mounting holes (13) in each corner to facilitate bench mounting. 1. Mount the saw to a level, horizontal bench or work table using 4 bolts (not supplied) and ensure that the saw is fastened tightly. 2. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 13mm or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and re-clamped. ! CAUTION: Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped as an uneven surface can cause binding and inaccurate sawing. Lock down knob The lock down knob (26) is provided for holding the cutting head down whilst transporting or storing the mitre saw. The saw must never be used with the lock down knob (26) locking the head down. Slide lock When tightened, the slide lock (27) prevents the saw head from sliding. Tighten the slide lock (27) during transportation. Mitre table lock The mitre table lock (7) is used to lock the mitre table (14) at the desired mitre angle. The mitre saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left and right. To adjust the mitre angle, loosen the mitre table lock (7) and using the mitre table handle (9) adjust the mitre angle to the desired position. The mitre table features positive click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° for quick setting of common mitre angles. ! Warning! Be sure to tighten the mitre table lock (7) before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury. Bevel lock The bevel lock (28) is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle. The mitre saw bevel cuts from 0° to 45° to the left. Note: The bevel lock lever (28) is spring loaded to allow repositioning of the handle for maximum leverage in confined spaces. By pulling out the lever and at the same time rotate to the opposite direction, then releasing will allow you to position the handle again to turn in the desired direction for your continued tightening or loosening application. 9 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) To adjust the bevel angle loosen the bevel lock (28) and tilt the mitre saw head towards the left. This will enable the mitre saw blade (6) to be tilted to your desired bevel angle. ! Warning! Be sure to tighten the bevel lock (28) before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury. Clamp assembly The material clamp (19) can be mounted to the fence (18), on either the Right or Left of the fence. This will assist when making cuts when feeding materials from either side of the saw. When performing a bevel cut, the material clamp (19) should be positioned on the right hand side of the fence (18). Secure the material clamp (19) by tightening the bolt at the back of the fence (18). Spindle lock The spindle lock (29) prevents the blade in the saw from rotating. Depress and hold the spindle lock (29) while installing, changing, or removing the blade (6). Lower guard The lower guard (4) provides protection to your hands and limbs when the mitre saw head is in the up position or during the operation of the saw when the saw is turned on and you are making a cut. It retracts over the upper guard (25) as the saw is lowered into the work piece. Dust bag The dust bag (23) fits over the dust extraction port behind the carry handle (1). For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag (23) when it is no more than half full. This allows better air flow through the bag. Note: Dust bags will not collect all the saw dust generated by the mitre saw. For best results a dust extractor should be used in place of the dust bag. Attaching the extension bars The extension bars (16) help to support the material when working with long workpieces. Prior to inserting the extension bars (16) loosen the phillips locking screws (17) that are located on either side of the mitre table (14) side wings. The extension bars (16) fits on either side of the base (15) by inserting the two ends of the extension bars (16) into the two holes in the end of the base (15). Ensure the extension bars (16) are fully inserted before using them to support the workpiece. The locking screw (17) must be tightened to secure the extension bars (16) in position. Attaching the stabilising bar The stabilising bar (32) is fitted to the rear of the saw below the bevel lock (28) to stabilise the saw during normal operation. 10 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) Trench depth adjustment (see Fig 1). In its normal position, the trenching stop plate (C) permits the saw blade to cut right through a workpiece. When the guard arm (24) is lifted, the trenching stop plate (C) can be moved to the left so that the trenching depth adjustment screw (A) contacts the trenching stop plate (C) as the guard arm (24) is lowered. This restricts the cut to a “trench” in the workpiece. The depth of the trench can be adjusted with the trenching depth adjustment screw (A) and locked in position with the trenching depth lock nut (B). ! A B D C Fig. 1 Warning! Do not adjust screw assembly (D). This adjustment ensures that the saw blade will not cut into the base of the tool and the bench top on which the tool is positioned on. The screw assembly (D) is factory set and should not be adjusted by the operator. Failure to observe this could cause damage to the tool and/or injury to the operator. Switching the tool on To turn the saw on, depress and hold the on/off switch (3). To turn the saw off, release the on/off switch (3). Setting the table square with the blade Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the power point. Push the switch handle (2) down to its lowest position and engage the lock down knob (26) to hold the saw in the transport position. Loosen the mitre table lock (7). Rotate the mitre table (14) until the mitre angle indicator (11) is positioned at 0º. Tighten the mitre table lock (7). Loosen the bevel lock (28) and set at 0º bevel (the blade at 90º to the mitre table). Tighten the bevel lock (28). Place a set square against the mitre table (14) and the flat face of the mitre saw blade (6). Note: Make sure that the square contacts the flat face of the mitre saw blade (6), not the teeth. Rotate the blade (6) by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several points. The edge of the set square and the saw blade (6) should be parallel. If the saw blade (6) angles away from the set square, adjust as follows. Use an allen key to loosen the bevel adjust screw (31). Also, loosen the bevel lock (28). Adjust the bevel adjust screw (31) to 0° with the allen key to bring the saw blade into alignment with the square. Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the pointer of the bevel scale (20) and adjust the position of the pointer so that it accurately indicates zero on the scale and retighten the screw. Retighten the bevel lock (28) and the bevel adjust screw (31). 11 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) Note: The above procedure can also be used to check the angle of the saw blade to the table at 45º bevel angle. The 45° bevel adjustment screw (33) is on the opposite side of the saw arm. Setting the fence square with the table Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the power point. Push the switch handle (2) down to its lowest position and engage the lock down knob (26) to hold the saw arm in the transport position. Loosen the mitre table lock (7) and rotate the mitre table (14) until the mitre angle indicator is positioned at 0º. Tighten the mitre table lock (7). Loosen the four screws securing the fence (18) to the base (15). Place a square against the fence (18) and alongside the blade face (6). Adjust the fence (18) until it is square with the blade face (6). Tighten the screws securing the fence (18). Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the mitre scale indicator (11) and adjust it so that it accurately indicates the zero position on the mitre scale (12). Retighten the screw securing the mitre scale indicator (11). Changing a blade Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the power point. ! Danger! Never try to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the saw. It might come into contact with the blade guards. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the spindle. It will prevent the blade screw from properly securing the blade on the spindle. Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry. Ensure that any spacers and spindle bushes that may be required, suit the spindle and the blade fitted. Raise the mitre saw head to its highest position. Using a Phillips head screwdriver loosen and remove the screw that secures the guard arm (24) to the lower guard (4). Using a Phillips head screwdriver loosen and remove the screw that secures the blade bolt cover (5). Pull the lower guard (4) down then swing it up together with the blade bolt cover (5). When the lower guard (4) is positioned over the upper guard (25), it is now possible to access the blade bolt. Hold the lower guard (4) up and press the spindle lock (29). Rotate the mitre saw blade until the spindle locks into position and the blade is unable to turn. Use the allen key to loosen and remove the blade bolt. (Loosen in a clockwise direction as the blade screw has a left hand thread). Remove the flat washer, outer blade washer and the the mitre saw blade (6). 12 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner blade washer and the outer blade washer where they contact the blade. Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking care that the inner blade washer sits behind the blade. ! CAUTION: To ensure correct blade rotation, ensure that the arrow direction of blade is the same as the arrow on the upper guard (25). Replace the outer blade washer. Fit a replacement mitre saw blade (6). Depress the spindle lock (29) and replace the flat washer and blade bolt. Use the hex key to tighten the blade bolt securely (tighten in an anticlockwise direction). Lower the upper guard (25), hold the lower guard (4) and blade bolt cover (5) in position and tighten the fixing screw. Position the guard arm (24) in place and secure onto the lower guard (4). Check that the blade guard (4) operates correctly and covers the blade as the saw arm (24) is lowered. Connect the saw to the power supply and depress the on/off switch (3) to start the saw to make certain that the blade is installed correctly and does not make contact with any part of the safety guards (4 and 25).. Cross-cutting (without slide action) When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not necessary to use the slide mechanism. In this case ensure that the slide lock (27) is screwed down to prevent the saw arm from sliding. A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the work piece. A 90º crosscut is made with the mitre table (14) set at 0º. Mitre crosscuts are made with the mitre table (14) set at an angle other than zero. To make a cut release the lock down knob (26) and raise the mitre saw head to its full height. Loosen the mitre table lock (7). Crosscut Mitre cut Rotate the mitre table (14) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle. Retighten the mitre table lock (7). ! Warning! Be sure to tighten the mitre table lock (7) before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury. Place the work piece flat on the mitre table (14) with one edge securely against the fence (18). If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence (18). If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade. 13 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the extension bars (16), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table. Use the material clamp (19) to secure the work piece wherever possible. It is possible to remove the material clamp (19) and moving it to the other side of the table. Make sure the material clamp (19) is secured to the fence (18) before using it. Before turning on the saw, perform a practice run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems. Hold the switch handle (2) firmly and squeeze the on/off switch (3). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed. Press the on/off switch (3) and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the saw blade (6) to stop rotating before lifting the blade (6) out of the workpiece. Also when performing a cut wait until the blade (6) has come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece. Cross-cutting (with slide action) When cutting wide work pieces, first unscrew the slide lock (27). Release the lock down knob (26), raise the saw to its highest position and slide it towards you. Hold the switch handle (2) firmly and squeeze the on/off switch (3). Allow the blade (6) to reach maximum speed. Press the on/off switch (3) and slowly lower the blade (6) into the workpiece and push it away from you until the workpiece is cut. Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the blade (6) to stop rotating before raising the blade (6) out of the workpiece. Also when performing a cut wait until the blade (6) has come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece. Bevel cut A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the work piece with the mitre saw blade (6) angled or beveled to the mitre table (14). The mitre table (14) is set at the zero degree position and the mitre saw blade (6) set at 0º. Use the slide action when cutting wide work piece. Loosen the bevel lock (28) and move the saw to the left to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (28). Place the work piece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (18). If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the extension bars (16), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table. Use the material clamp (19) to secure the workpiece wherever possible. 14 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) ! Warning! Be sure to tighten the bevel lock (28) before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut, causing serious personal injury. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (6) by loosening the clamp assembly lock (7) and moving it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is tight before using the clamp. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems. Hold the operating handle (2) firmly and squeeze the on/off trigger switch (3). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Also when performing a cut wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece. Compound mitre cut A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. It is used in making picture frames, to cut mouldings, making boxes with sloping sides and for roof framing. Always make a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting into the good material. Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces. Lift the mitre saw head to its full height. Loosen the mitre table lock (7). Rotate the mitre table (14) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the mitre scale (12). Retighten the mitre lock (7). ! Warning! Be sure to tighten the mitre lock (7) before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut, causing serious personal injury. Loosen the bevel lock (28) and move the motor head assembly to the left to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (28). Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (18). If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade. 15 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) Cutting long timber lengths When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the extension bar (16), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table. (8). Use the material clamp (19) to secure the workpiece wherever possible. It is possible to remove the material clamp (19) and move it to the other side of the table. Make sure the material clamp (19) is secured to the fence (18) before using it. Before turning on the saw, perform a practice run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems. Hold the switch handle (2) firmly and squeeze the on/off switch (3). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the saw blade (6) to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Also when performing a cut wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece. MAINTENANCE ! Warning! Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or performing maintenance procedures. Power cord maintenance If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a safety hazard. Cleaning 1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a soft brush or a rag. 3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals. 4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. ! CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the saw.
