Installation
Unpacking (fig. B1 & B2)
• Remove the saw from the packing material carefully.
• Move the stabiliser (29) in or out until it contacts the work surface.
Tighten the screws (39).
• Release the rail lock knob (13), and push the saw head back to lock it
in the rear position.
• Press down the operating handle (18) and pull out the lock down pin
(14), as shown.
• Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to its
full height.
Never use your saw without the stabiliser.
Bench mounting (fig. C)
• Holes (40) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes
of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both. Always mount
your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the portability, the
tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or thicker plywood which
can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
• When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the
mounting screws do not 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.
• 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 is firm on the
mounting surface.

Assembly
Prior to assembly always unplug the tool.
Mounting the saw blade (fig. E1 - E5)
• Depress the head lock up release lever (17) to release the lower guard (2),
then raise the lower guard as far as possible.
• Loosen the guard bracket screw (43) sufficiently to allow the guard
bracket (44) to be raised to permit access to the blade locking screw (45).
• With the lower guard held in the raised position by the guard bracket
screw (43) depress the spindle lock button (16) with one hand, then
use the supplied blade spanner (26) in the other hand to loosen the
left-hand threaded blade screw (45) by turning clockwise.
To use the spindle lock, press the button as shown and rotate
the spindle by hand until you feel the lock engage. Continue to
hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from turning.
• Remove the blade locking screw (45) and the outside arbor collar (46).
• Install the saw blade (47) onto the shoulder (48) provided on the inside
arbor collar (49), making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the
blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away from the operator).
• Replace the outer arbor collar (46).
• Tighten the blade locking screw (45) by turning counter-clockwise while
holding the spindle lock engaged with your other hand.
• Move the guard bracket (44) down so that it fully screens the blade
locking screw (45).
• Tighten the guard bracket screw (43).
• Never press the spindle lock while the blade is rotating.
• Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly tighten the
guard bracket screws after installing the blade.

Adjustment

Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due
to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps
below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should remain
accurate.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the fence (fig. F1 - F4)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the
mitre arm (50).
• Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.
Do not tighten the lever.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (51).
• Place a square (52) against the left side (7) of the fence and blade (47)
(fig. F3).
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screws (53) and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left or
right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square.
• Retighten the screws (53). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre
pointer at this point.
Adjusting the mitre pointer (fig. F1, F2 & G)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the
mitre arm (50).
