STORE TOOLS SAFELY WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN USE: All tools should be stored in a dry, locked cupboard wherever possible and out of the reach of children.
WEAR THE CORRECT CLOTHING: Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommend-ed. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Roll long sleeves up above the el-bow.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION ETC: Wear CE approved safety goggles
at all times, Normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. A face or dust mask should be worn if the operation is dusty and ear protec- tors (plugs or muffs) should be worn, particularly during extended periods of operation.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with power tools, avoid contact with any earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). It is advisable wherever possible to use an RCD (residual current device) at the mains socket.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not oper-ate the saw when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY: When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades etc.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the tool to the mains supply.
NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING / CONNECTED WHILST UNATTENDED: Turn the saw off and disconnect it from the mains supply between jobs; Do not leave machine until it comes to a complete stop.
DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never carry the saw by the mains lead or pull it to remove the plug from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil and sharp edges. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid unwanted hazards.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the saw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly and per- form its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be correctly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service agent. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE: And in full working order.
MAINTAIN THE SAW WITH CARE: Keep the saw clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. All extension cables must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if damaged. Always keep the hand grip on the tool clean, dry and free of oil and grease.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards and will invalidate any warranty you may have.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES: Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before every use.
SECURE THE WORKPIECE: Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece . This frees up both hands to operate the tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
DO NOT FORCE THE SAW: It will do the job better and more safely at the rate which it was designed.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SAW IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES: Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, dust or other combustible sources. The motor
may create sparks during normal operation which can ignite the dust or fumes.
HAVE YOUR SAW REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The saw is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.

• If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.

• Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

• Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.

• After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with

• your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous. Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.

• Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade.

• Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.

• The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

• Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

• Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
  Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut- off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.

• Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

• Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

• Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury. Plan your work;

• Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.

• Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.

• Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.

• Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the work-piece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.

• Use only the blade flange specified for this saw.

• Before each use; Ensure that the blade retaining bolt is fully secure.

• Be careful not to damage the arbor or flange (especially the installing surface); Damage to these parts could result in blade breakage and / or operator injury.

• Ensure that the table base is properly secured so it will not move during operation. Make sure that all keys and wrenches are removed before switching on the saw. Keep hands out of path of saw blade, never reach around saw blade.

• Be sure that the blade does not come into contact with the table and / or table insert when the blade is in operation.

• Make sure the blade is clear of the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

• Stay alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security – Blades are extremely unforgiving.

• Before making the first cut using the saw, turn the blade by hand to ensure nothing is catching, then turn the saw on and let it run for a while;

• Watch for vibration or wob-bling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade. Adjust or re-place as necessary.

• Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.

• Do not modify the saw to do tasks other than those intended.

• Turn off the saw and wait for it to complete stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.

• Wait for the saw blade to stop completely and remove from mains supply before servicing or adjusting tool.

• Understand the operating environment; Before each use the operator should assess, understand and where possible reduce the specific risks and dangers associated with the operating environment. Bystanders should also be made aware of any risks associated with the operating environment.

• This laser complies with class 2 according to EN 60825-1:2007.

• The unit includes no servicing components; Do not open the housing for any reason. If the unit is faulty / damaged, have it repaired / replaced by an authorized repair agent.

• Do not stare directly at the laser beam, never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.

• Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person.

• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective sur-faces. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective surfaces are not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
  Always remember to switch off the laser on / off switch (2) after finishing a job, only turn the laser beam on when the workpiece is on the mitre saw table.

• This mitre saw is double insulated; This means the operator is separated from the tool’s electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded (earthed). Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a suitably qualified person.

Caution: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common
sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This mitre saw is double insulated. This means the operator is separated from the tool’s electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insula-tion.
This saw is fitted with a standard UK type 230v ~ plug. Before using the tool inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have the tool inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would be preferable.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, pro-ceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal marked with N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red.

• Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully.

• Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

• Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always
  replace the fuse with the same value as the original.

• Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply; ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.

• Note: The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Do not stare into the laser beam as this is dangerous and will damage your eyes.

• Do not stare directly at the laser beam, never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.
• Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person.
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective sur-faces. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sur-faces are not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
• Always remember to switch off the laser on/off switch (24) after finishing a job, only turn the laser beam on when the workpiece is on the mitre saw table.

CROSS-CUTTING (WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION)
Note: When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not necessary to use the slide mechanism. In these cases ensure that the saw head is pushed back
and the slide lock (26) is tight to prevent the saw arm from sliding.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the workpiece, a 90˚ crosscut is made with the  mitre table set at 0˚. Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at any other angle.

• Pull on the release knob (25) and turn it through 90˚ to lock it “open”
• lift the saw arm to its full height.
•  Loosen the mitre lock (12).
• Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.
• Retighten the mitre lock (12).

Danger: Be sure to tighten the mitre lock before making a cut. Failure todo so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause serious

• Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (9).
• Turn on the laser by pressing the laser On/Off switch (24).
• Use the clamp assembly (18) to secure the workpiece.

Note: It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (18) by loosening the clamp assembly lock and moving it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is tight before using the clamp.
Note: When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the side support bars (11), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.

• Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and slide the safety switch to the left then squeeze the trigger switch (4) (see below); allow the blade to reach maximum speed.

• Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

• Release the switch trigger (4) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade away from the workpiece.

• Ensure that the blade has stopped and that the saw head is returned to a position so that the guard is covering the blade before removing the workpiece.

CROSS-CUTTING (WITH SLIDE ACTION)

• Unscrew the slide lock (26).
  Pull on the release knob (6), raise the saw arm to its highest position and slide (pull) it towards you.

• Loosen the mitre lock (12).

• Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.

• Retighten the mitre lock (12).

• Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (9).

• Turn on the laser by pressing the laser On/Off switch (24).

• Use the clamp assembly (18) to secure the workpiece.

• Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and slide the safety switch to the left then squeeze the trigger switch (4) (see page 16); Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.

• Slowly lower the blade onto and through the workpiece whilst sliding (pushing) it away from you at the same time until the workpiece is cut.

• Release the switch trigger (4) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.

• Ensure that the blade has stopped and that the saw head is returned to a position so that the guard is covering the blade before removing the workpiece.

MAKING A BEVEL CUT:
A bevel cut of up to 45° (to the left or to the right) can be achieved by using the fol-lowing method:
Loosen the bevel lock handle (29) which is situated at the rear of the saw.
Pull the positive stop knob (30) whilst pushing the saw head to the left or right, de-pending on the angle required.
Note: The positive stop knob (30 will stop the saw head at popular angles 15°, 30° & 45° left and right when released, but any angle between 0 and
45 can be selected by locking the bevel lock.

• Use the bevel scale (16) and pointer to set the head to the desired angle.
• Tighten the bevel lock handle (29) to secure the head at the desired angle.

Follow the previous instructions to perform the cut depending on the dimensions of the workpiece (see “cross cut with sliding action” or “cross cut without sliding action”).

MAKING A MITRE CUT:
A mitred angle of 45° left or right can be obtained using the following method.

• Loosen the mitre lock (12).
• Turn the table until the desired angle is indicated by the mitre scale (22).

Note: The mitre angle guide has positive stops at popular angles 15°, 22.5°, 30° & 45° left and right, but any angle between 0 and 45 can be
selected by tightening the mitre lock (12).

• Tighten the mitre lock (12) to hold the desired angle.

Follow the previous instructions to perform the cut depending on the dimensions of the workpiece (see “cross cut with sliding action” or “cross cut without sliding action”).

MAKING A COMPOUND MITRE CUT:
Note: A compound mitre cut can also be performed by adjusting both angles (bevel and mitre) away from 90°

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. It is a good idea to make a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting into the good material. Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces.

USING THE DEPTH STOP

• Slide the depth stop bracket to the right to engage the depth stop.
• Loosen the lock-nut.
• Adjust screw to the required depth.
• Once set to the desired depth; Tighten the lock-nut against the retaining bracket to lock the depth stop and ensure there is no movement due to vibration etc.

Function:
Once the depth stop is set; the blade will not cut all the way through the workpiece (depending on the depth that it is set to). This will allow the operator to easily cut slots out of the workpiece if used in conjunction with the sliding function of the saw, it is ad-visable to check the cut depth on a scrap piece of wood.
Make a cut as explained in the main instruction manual then raise the main saw head above the workpiece. Move the workpiece (left or right) slightly and make another cut until the desired amount of wood is removed and the slot is complete.
Note: It may be necessary to clean the slot with a sharp chisel or by sanding.

MAINTENANCE

Danger: Always ensure that the saw is turned off and that the plug is disconnect-ed from the mains supply before carrying out any adjustments, repairs or maintenance.
This saw is set up at the factory and should need no adjustment; however time and careless use can affect the angles and some adjustment may be required.

CHECKING AND SETTING THE MITRE ANGLE

• Loosen the slide lock (26); push the saw head back as far as it will go and re-tighten the slide lock (26).
• Loosen the mitre lock (25); turn the main table until the positive stop for 0° en-gages and the angle guide pointer is close to 0°.
• Re-tighten the mitre lock.
• If the pointer is not exactly set to 0° loosen the screw and turn the pointer until it is.
• Loosen the 4 (2 on each side of the saw) rear fence locking bolts and lower the blade to its lowest point; lock the saw head down with the release knob (6).
• Place a square against the blade and rear fence and adjust the fence until an angle of exactly 90° is achieved.
• Proceed to tighten the rear fence locking bolts whilst ensuring that an angle of 90° is maintained.

CHECKING AND SETTING THE BEVEL ANGLE

• Loosen the slide lock (29); push the saw head back as far as it will go and re-tighten the slide lock (29).
• Loosen the mitre lock (12); turn the main table until the positive stop for 0° engages and the angle guide pointer shows 0°.
• Re-tighten the mitre lock.
• Loosen the locking nut on one of the bevel adjustment screws.
• Loosen the bevel lock (29).
• Pull out the bevel positive stop knob (30) whilst pushing the saw head to 45° either left or right depending on which adjustment screw has been loosened.
• Place a set square with an accurate 45° angle against the main table of the saw and the blade.
• Use a hex wrench to adjust the screw until the blade is at 45°.
• Re-tighten the locking nut ensuring that the angle is kept.
• If required loosen the screw on the angle pointer and adjust so that it reads 45°. Re-tighten the screw.

Follow these instructions on the opposite side to ensure that the blade is set to 45° in  both directions.

CHANGING THE BLADE
Caution: Always ensure that the replacement blade matches the specifications, as shown on page 14. Never fit a blade which is smaller or bigger than that stated.
Caution: Only fit saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the saw (4500rpm).

• Pull on the release knob (25) and turn it through 90˚ to lock it “open”
• lift the saw arm to its full height.
• Slide the blade guard above the blade.
• With the blade guard held in place; remove the blade guard screw.
• Slide the black plate up to reveal the blade retaining bolt and flange.
• Press and hold the spindle lock button (23) whilst slowly turning the blade until the lock locates and stops the blade from spinning.
• Turn the blade retaining bolt clockwise (the bolt has a left handed thread) to loosen and remove.
• Slide the flange and the blade from the spindle and fit the new blade.
•  Follow these instructions in reverse to secure the blade, ensuring that the blade di-rection is correct and that the contact surfaces of the blade and flange are flatand clean.

Caution: Ensure all screws / bolts are completely tight and that the blade guard works correctly before re-using the saw.

GENERAL INSPECTION

Cleaning and maintenance of this saw is mainly common sense some points for guidance are as follows:

• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight, particularly the outer flange. Theymay vibrate loose over time.
• The mains lead of the saw and any extension cord used should be checked frequently for damage. If damaged, have the mains lead replaced by an authorised service facility. Replace the extension cord if necessary.
• Keep the air vents of the saw clear at all times.
• After each use brush off any wood chippings with a soft brush. Pay special attention to the inside of the dust extraction port (where the dust bag fits to the saw) as this is where there will be a large build up if left for extended periods.
• The motor of the saw should be cleared of any wood chippings as there would bea risk of fire if they are allowed to build up over time (a soft brush or dry air could be used to clear the motor).
• Empty the bag at least after each use; the bag should be emptied before it gets half full to ensure its efficiency. There is a zip on the bag to allow for easy disposal of wood chippings.
• Ensure the blade guard is kept clean with a damp cloth (do not clean the guard orany part of the saw with a corrosive solvent) to reduce the risk of injury. Periodically oil all the moving parts on the saw to extend the life of the saw.
• Inspect the carbon brushes (in the motor) at frequent intervals (depending on the amount of use) and change them if the wear reaches the worn limit line or is below10mm, they should also be checked to ensure that the brushes move in and out easily.
  Caution: Water must never come into contact with the saw.

LUBRICATION

• As well as oiling the moving parts regularly, the grease in the gearbox will require re-placement after extensive use of the saw. Refer to an authorised service agent to pro-vide this service.
