wood, wood products and plastics. When using the appropriate saw blades, sawing aluminium
is also possible. These saws perform the sawing operations of cross-cutting, bevelling and
mitring easily, accurately and safely.
These saws are designed for use with a nominal blade diameter 216 mm carbide tip blade.
DO nOt use under wet conditions or in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
These mitre saws are professional power tools.
DO nOt let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when
inexperienced operators use this tool.
• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by young children

ASSEMBLY

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine
from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF
position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Unpacking (Fig. A)
1. Remove the saw from the packing material carefully.
2. Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface.
3. Release the rail lock knob 13 , and push the saw head back to lock it in the rear position.
4. Press down lightly on the operating handle
5. Gently release the downward pressure and hold the operating handle, allowing it to rise to
its full height.
Bench Mounting (Fig. D)
Holes 34 are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Two different-sized holes
are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole; it is not necessary to
use both.
Always mount your saw firmly to a stable surface to prevent movement. To enhance the tool's
portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 12.7 mm or thicker plywood which can then be
clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
nOtE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting
screws don't protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work
support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with
the proper operation of the saw.

CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not
warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material
under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the mounting surface.
Assembling the Base Extensions (Fig. II)

WARNING: Base extensions must be assembled to both sides of the saw's base
before using the saw.

WARNING: Be sure to adjust the base extensions using the mounting slots so they
are level with the saw's base.
1. Locate the holes above the hand indentations
and pull out the lock down pin .
17 14
27 on the side of the base.
2. Using a hex wrench, attach the screw
extension 19 , and into the holes on the base.
3. Ensure the extension is secure by pulling on the extension to verify no movement.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 on the other side.
nOtE: Make sure the extensions are level with the work surface so that the workpiece rests
evenly. A straight workpiece should have no gap between it and the base extensions.
