Unpacking Your Tool

Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions.
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any
parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting
to use this tool.
• Using the Carrying Handle (8) carefully lift the saw from the carton and
place it on a level work surface
• The saw has been shipped with the saw arm locked in the down
position. To release the saw arm, push down on the top of the saw arm,
pull on the Release Knob (6), rotate it 45° and let go, slowly raise the
saw arm
WARNING: Do not lift the saw whilst holding on to the guards. Use the
carrying handle.
Transportation
Lift the mitre saw only when the saw
arm is locked in the down position,
the saw is switched off and the plug
is removed from the power point.
Only lift the saw by the Carrying
Handle (8) or outer castings (Fig. A).
Do not lift the saw using the guard or
Operating Handle (7).

Bench mounting

The saw base has holes in each
corner to facilitate bench mounting
(Fig. B).
1. Mount the saw to a level,
horizontal bench or work table
using bolts (not supplied) and fix
the saw to the bench using 4 bolts
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

Important controls and features
Stabiliser bar
When the saw is not fitted to a
bench, always fit the Stabiliser Bar
(40) into the holes at the rear of the
saw base (Fig. C). The stabiliser
helps prevent the saw from tipping
backwards when the slide action
is used.
Release knob
The Release Knob (6) is provided for
holding the cutting head down whilst
transporting or storing the mitre saw (Fig. D). The saw must never be used
with the release knob locking the head down.
D
Slide lock
When tightened, the Slide Lock (29) prevents the saw head from sliding.
Tighten the slide lock during transportation (Fig. E).
Mitre table lock
The Mitre Lock (25) is used to lock
the table at the desired mitre angle
(Fig. F).
The mitre saw cuts from 0° to 45°
both left and right. To adjust the
mitre angle loosen the mitre table
lock and using the mitre table handle
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 before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause
serious personal injury.
