(emission sound pressure level) dB(A) 92.7

(sound power level) dB(A) 106.3 K (uncertainty for the given sound level) dB(A) 3 Congratulations! You have chosen a DeWALT tool. Years of experience, thorough product development and innovation make DeWALT one of the most reliable partners for professional power toolusers. Technical Data English (original instructions) MITRE SAW DWS72735 EnGLIsh Safety Instructions for Mitre Saws a ) 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 plasticparts. b ) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100mm 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 bladecontact. c ) 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, causinginjury. d ) 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 workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards theoperator. e ) 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 verydangerous.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents. b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust orfumes. c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electricshock. b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed orgrounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electricshock. e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock. f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electricshock.

a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personalinjury. b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries. c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off- position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invitesaccidents. d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personalinjury. e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations. f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in movingparts. g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-relatedhazards. h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of asecond.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned. b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired. c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power toolaccidentally. d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers. e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained powertools. f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardoussituation. h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.

a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.36 EnGLIsh f ) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100mm 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 seriouslyinjured. g ) 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 theworkpiece. h ) 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 highspeed. i ) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift duringcutting. j ) 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 becomingunstable. k ) 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 thefence. l ) 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 spinningblade. m ) 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 spinningblade. n ) 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 thrownviolently. o ) 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 theblade. p ) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece beingthrown. q ) 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 and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitresaw. r ) 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 isdangerous. s ) 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 ofinjury. Additional Safety Rules for Mitre Saws

• Impairment ofhearing.

• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating sawblade.

• Risk of injury when changing theblade.

• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.

• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood, especially oak, beech andMDF. The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:

• No dust extractor connected when sawingwood.

• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaustfilters.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from vibration. A vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or seriousinjury.

• DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certainchemicals.

• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in workingorder.

• ALWAYS USE THE KERF PLATE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE WHEN DAMAGED. Small chip accumulation under the saw may interfere with the saw blade or may cause instability of workpiece whencutting.

• USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL to prevent damage to the machine and/or seriousinjury.

• MAKE SURE to use the correct saw blade for the material to becut.

• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can cause the machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which could cause seriousinjury.

• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION. Severe personal injury mayresult.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionallycontacted.

WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other materials

may cause melted material to accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk of blade overheating and binding whilecutting.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection.

Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. Be aware of the following factors influencing exposure to noise:

• Use saw blades designed to reduce the emitted noise,

• Use only well sharpened saw blades, and

• Use specifically designed noise-reduction sawblades.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT

bevel adjustment screw until the bevel pointer reads 45°. Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 30°) (Fig.A2, I) NOTE: Adjust the bevel angles only after performing the 0° bevel angle and bevel pointeradjustment. Slide the sliding fences to the full out position before starting the 22.5° or 30° beveladjustment. To set the left 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the left 22.5° bevel pawl

and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel pointer

does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown adjustment screw

contacting the pawl with a 10 mm wrench until the bevel pointer reads 22.5°. To adjust the right 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the right 22.5° bevel pawl. Loosen the bevel lock knob and pull the 0° bevel stop

to override the 0° bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown adjustment screw

contacting the pawl with a 10 mm wrench until the bevel pointer indicates exactly 22.5°. Fence Adjustment (Fig. A1) The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 49° both left andright.

1. To adjust each fence

, loosen the fence adjustment knob

and slide the fenceoutward.

2. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and check forclearance.

3. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide

maximum workpiece support, without interfering with arm up and downmovement.

4. Tighten the fence adjustment knobsecurely.

5. When the bevel operations are complete, relocate thefence.

NOTE: The tracks of the fences can become clogged with sawdust. Use a brush or some low pressure air to clear the guidegrooves. Guard Actuation and Visibility (Fig. X) The lower guard

on your saw has been designed to automatically uncover the blade when the arm is brought down and to cover the blade when the arm israised. The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw. NEVER RAISE THE lower GUARD MANUALLY UN LESS THE BLADE ISSTOPPED. Rail Guide Adjustment (Fig. A1) Regularly check the rails

for play orclearance. The left rail can be adjusted with the set screw

. To reduce clearance, use a 4 mm hex wrench and rotate the set screw clockwise gradually while sliding the saw head back andforth. Mitre Lock Adjustment (Fig. A1, M) The mitre lock rod

should be adjusted if the table of the saw can be moved when the mitre lock handle is locked (down).

2. Using a slotted screwdriver, tighten the mitre lock rod by turning it

clockwise as shown in FigureM. Turn the lock rod until it is snug, then turn counterclockwise oneturn.

3. Re-lock the mitre lock to a non-detented measurement on the mitre

scale – for example, 34° – and make sure the table will notrotate. Prior to Operation

• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the saw blade. Do not use any abrasiveblades.

• Check protective belt cover

for damage and proper functioning of lower guard

ENGLISH Refer to Saw Blades under Optional Accessories to select the blade that best fits yourneeds. Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without anyrestrictions. To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is not too cold, the machine and accessories are well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for thismachine. Plug the saw into any household 50 Hz power source. Refer to the nameplate for voltage. Be sure the cord will not interfere with yourwork. Proper Body and Hand Position (Fig. N1, N2)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use

proper hand position as shown in FigureN1.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold

securely in anticipation of a suddenreaction.

• Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than 100 mm from theblade.

• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has completelystopped.

• ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS HANDS, AS SHOWN IN FIGUREN2.

• Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you move the mitre arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the sawblade.

• Sight through the guard louvers when following a pencilline. Trigger Switch (Fig.A2) To turn the saw on, push the lock-off lever

to the left, then depress the trigger switch

. The saw will run while the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full operating speed before making the cut. To turn the saw off, release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before raising the saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A hole

is provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the switchoff. Your saw is not equipped with an automatic electric blade brake, but the saw blade should stop within 10 seconds of trigger release. This is not OPERATION Instructions for Use

If the stop time repeatedly exceeds 10 seconds, have the tool serviced by an authorised DeWALT servicecentre. Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from thekerf. Dust Extraction (Fig.A2, C, Z)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn

tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

WARNING: Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered

carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatmentadditives.

• Always use dustextraction.

• Provide for good ventilation of the workspace.

• It is recommended to wear an appropriaterespirator.

CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless the dust bag or DeWALT dust extractor is in place. Wood dust may create a breathinghazard.

CAUTION: Check and clean the dust bag each time afterusing.

disconnect the dust extractor to avoid the risk offire. Your mitre saw has a built-in dust port

that allows connection to either the dust bag

, 33mm nozzles or direct attachment to the DeWALT

AirLock(DWV9000-XJ). Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to beworked. To Attach the Dust Bag (Fig. C)

as shown in FigureC. To Empty the Dust Bag (Fig. C)

from the saw and gently shake or tap the dust bag toempty.

You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This will not affect cutting performance but will reduce the saw's dust collection efficiency. To restore your saw's dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the trash can or dustreceptacle. External Dust Extraction (Fig. Z) When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust Class M vacuumcleaner. Connecting to an AirLock Compatable Dust Extractor (Fig.Z) The dust port

on your mitre saw is compatable with the D

WALT AirLock connection system. The AirLock allows for a fast, secure connection between the dust extractor hose

1. Ensure the collar on the AirLock connector

is in the unlock position. Align notches

on collar and AirLock connector as shown for unlock and lockpositions.

3. Rotate the collar to the lockedposition.

NOTE: The ball bearings inside collar lock into slot and secure the connection.The mitre saw is now securely connected to the dustextractor. Use of XPS™ LED Worklight System (Fig. A1, A2) NOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a powersource. The XPS™ LED Worklight System is equipped with an on/off switch

The XPS™ LED Worklight System is independent of the mitre saw’s trigger switch. The light does not need to be on in order to operate thesaw. To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:

1. Turn on the XPS™ system, then pull down on the operating handle

to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will appear on thewood.

• Install the table extensions to both sides of the saw's base. Refer to Assembling the Table Extensionssection.

• Do not attempt to cut excessively smallpieces.

• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do notforce.

• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.

• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles aretight.

• Secure theworkpiece.

• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, these operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other materials. Do not cut ferrous (iron and steel) materials, fibre cement or masonry with this saw!

• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf slot is wider than 12mm.

• Connect saw to external an dustextractor.42 ENGLISH

2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade’s shadow. You may

have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order to match the pencil lineexactly. Through-Cutting Operations (Fig. A1, A2,O,P) If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is pushed back as far as possible and the rail lock knob

is tightened. This will prevent the saw from sliding along its rails as the workpiece isengaged. Cutting of multiple pieces is not recommended but can be done safely by ensuring that each piece is held firmly against the table andfence. Straight Vertical Crosscut

1. Set and lock the mitre arm at zero, and hold the wood firmly on the

and against the fence

2. With the rail lock knob

tightened, turn on the saw by pushing the lock-off lever

and squeezing the trigger switch

3. When the saw comes up to speed, lower the arm smoothly and slowly

to cut through the wood. Let the blade come to a full stop before raisingarm. Sliding Crosscut (Fig. O) When cutting anything larger than a 51 x 115mm (51 x 82mm at 45° mitre) workpiece, use an out-down-back motion with the rail lock knob

loosened. Pull the saw out toward you, lower the saw head down toward the workpiece, and slowly push the saw back to complete thecut. Do not allow the saw to contact the top of the workpiece while pulling out. The saw may run toward you, possibly causing personal injury or damage to theworkpiece. Mitre Crosscut (Fig. P) The mitre angle is often 45° for making corners, but can be set anywhere from zero to 50° left or 60° right. Proceed as for a straight verticalcrosscut. When performing a mitre cut on workpieces wider than 51 x 105mm that are shorter in length, always place the longer side against thefence. Bevel Cut (Fig. A1, A2) Bevel angles can be set from 49° right to 49° left and can be cut with the mitre arm set between 50° left or 60° right. Refer to the Features and Controls section for detailed instructions on the bevelsystem.

, and move the saw to the left or right as desired. It is necessary to move the fence

to allow clearance. Tighten the fence adjustment knob

after positioning thefences.

2. Tighten the bevel lockfirmly.

At some extreme angles, the right side fence might have to be removed. Refer to Fence Adjustment in the Adjustments section for important information on adjusting the fences for certain bevelcuts. To remove the right fence, unscrew the fence adjustment knob

several turns and slide the fenceout. The right fence is secured to the base with a lanyard to prevent it from beinglost. Quality of Cut The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, such as the material being cut, blade type, blade sharpness and rate ofcut. When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desiredresults.

WARNING: Ensure that the material does not move or creep while

cutting; clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising arm. If small fibres of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape whenfinished. Non-Through-Cutting (Grooving and Rabbeting) (Fig. A2) Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop

, depth adjustment screw

to allow for groovecutting. Instructions in the Crosscuts, Bevel Cuts and Cutting Compound Mitres sections are for cuts made through the full thickness of the material. The saw can also perform non-through cuts to form grooves or rabbets in thematerial. Grooving (Fig. A1, A2) Refer to Grooving Stop for detailed instructions for setting depth of cut. A piece of scrap wood should be used to verify the desired depth ofcut.

1. Hold the wood firmly on the table and against the fence

. Align the cut area underneath the blade. Position the saw arm fully forward, with blade in down position. Turn on the saw by pushing the lock off- lever

and squeezing the trigger switch

. Smoothly, push saw arm rearward to cut a groove through the workpiece.

2. Release the trigger switch with the saw arm down. When saw blade has

completely stopped, raise the saw arm. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising thearm.

3. To widen the groove, repeat steps 1–2 until the desired width

isobtained. Clamping the Workpiece (Fig.B)

WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure

before a cut may become unbalanced after a cut is completed. An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the saw is attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut that may become unbalanced, properly support the workpiece and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable surface. Personal injury mayoccur.

WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the base of

the saw whenever the clamp is used. Always clamp the workpiece to the base of the saw – not to any other part of the work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of the base of thesaw.

CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of personal injury and workpiecedamage. Use the material clamp

provided with your saw. The left or right fence will slide from side to side to aid in clamping. Other aids such as spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes ofmaterial. To Install Clamp

1. There are four rectangular clamp mounting holes

in the base, two in the front and two on the back of the saw under the base fence. Insert the clamp

into one of the fourholes. NOTE: When assembling the clamp on the back side of the saw, the arm of the clamp will need to be at the highest position so that clamp post can be slid into the mounting hole as the clamp passes over thefence.

2. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, tighten the knob to

to extend the table width of your saw. Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as sawhorses or similar devices to keep the ends fromdropping.43 EnGLIsh Cutting Picture Frames, Shadow Boxes And Other Four-Sided Projects (Fig.Q, R) Try a few simple projects using scrap wood until you develop a “feel” for your saw. Your saw is the perfect tool for mitring corners like the one shown in FigureQ. Sketch 1 in FigureR shows a joint made with the bevel adjustment method. The joint shown can be made using eithermethod.

• Using bevel adjustment: - The bevel for the two boards is adjusted to 45° each, producing a 90°corner. - The mitre arm is locked in the zero position and the bevel adjustment is locked at 45°. - The wood is positioned with the broad flat side against the table and the narrow edge against thefence.

• Using mitre adjustment: - The same cut can be made by mitring right and left with the broad surface against thefence. Cutting Trim Molding and Other Frames (Fig.R) Sketch 2 in FigureR shows a joint made by setting the mitre arm at 45° to mitre the two boards to form a 90° corner. To make this type of joint, set the bevel adjustment to zero and the mitre arm to 45°. Once again, position the wood with the broad flat side on the table and the narrow edge against thefence. The two sketches in FigureR are for four-sided objects only. As the number of sides changes, so do the mitre and bevel angles. The chart below gives the proper angles for a variety of shapes, assuming that all sides are of equallength. NUMBER OF SIDES MITRE OR BEVEL ANGLE 4 45° 5 36° 6 30° 7 25.7° 8 22.5° 9 20° 10 18° For a shape that is not shown in the chart, use the following formula: 180° divided by the number of sides equals the mitre (if the material is cut vertically) or bevel angle (if the material is cut layingflat). Cutting Compound Mitres (Fig.S) A compound mitre is a cut made using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This is the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in FigureS.

WARNING: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the

bevel lock knob and the mitre lock handle are securely locked. These must be locked after making any changes in bevel ormitre. The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and mitre settings for common compound mitrecuts. Set this miter angle on saw Angle of side of box (angle ”A”) Set this bevel angle on saw

• Select the desired angle A (Fig.S) of your project and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in thechart.

• From that point follow the chart straight down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the correct mitreangle.

• Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts. Practise fitting the cut piecestogether. EXAMPLE: To make a 4-sided box with 26° exterior angles (Angle A, Fig.S), use the upper right arc. Find 26° on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to get mitre angle setting on saw (42°). Likewise, follow the vertical intersecting line to the top or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw (18°). Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to verify the settings on thesaw. Cutting Base Moulding (Fig.J, T) To complete straight 90° cuts, position the wood against the fence and hold it in place as shown in FigureT. Turn on the saw, allow the blade to reach full speed and lower the arm smoothly through thecut. Cutting Base Moulding from 70 mm up to 150 mm High Vertically Against the Fence (Fig. J, T) nOTE: Use the slide lock lever

, shown in FigureJ, when cutting base moulding measuring from 70 mm to 150 mm high vertically against thefence. Position material as shown in FigureT. All cuts should be made with the back of the moulding against the fence and with the bottom of the moulding against thetable. Inside Corner Outside Corner Left side Mitre left 45° Save left side of cut Mitre right 45° Save left side of cut Right side Mitre right 45° Save right side of cut Mitre left 45° Save right side of cut Material up to 150 mm can be cut as described above. Cutting Crown Moulding (Fig. A1, U1, U2) Your mitre saw is well suited to the task of cutting crown moulding. In order to fit properly, crown moulding must be compound mitred with extremeaccuracy. Your mitre saw has special pre-set mitre latch points at 22.5°, 31.6° and 35.3° left and right for cutting crown moulding at the proper angle and bevel stop pawls at 22.5° and 30° left and right. There is also a mark on 7 sIDED BOX 5 sIDED BOX sQUARE BOX44 ENGLISH Before use, carefully check the upper guard, lower guard and dust duct to determine that they will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particles do not block of one of thefunctions. In case of workpiece fragments jammed between the saw blade and guards, disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow the instructions given in Changing or Installing a New Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and reassemble the sawblade. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the rotarytable. Worklight Cleaning

• Carefully clean sawdust and debris from worklight lens with a cotton swab. Dust build-up can block the worklight and prevent it from accurately indicating the line ofcut.

• DO NOT use solvents of any kind; they may damage thelens.

• With blade removed from saw, clean pitch and build-up fromblade. Dust Duct Cleaning With the saw unplugged and the saw head raised fully, low pressure air or a large diameter dowel rod can be used to clear the dust out of the dustduct. Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air

as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when performing thisprocedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning

the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid. Lubrication Your power tool requires no additionallubrication. MAINTENANCE Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.

Minute changes in the mitre angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. When corners other than 90° are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted forthem. Instructions for Cutting Crown Moulding Angled Between the Fence and Base of the Saw for All Cuts (Fig. U2)

1. Angle the moulding so the bottom of the moulding (the part which

goes against the wall when installed) is against the fence

and the top of the moulding is resting on the saw table

2. The angled “flats” on the back of the moulding must rest squarely on

the fence and sawtable. Inside Corner Outside Corner Left side Mitre right at 45° Save right side of cut Mitre left at 45° Save right side of cut Right side Mitre left at 45° Save left side of cut Mitre right at 45° Save left side of cut Special Cuts

WARNING: Never make any cut unless the material is secured

on the table and against thefence. Aluminum Cutting (Fig. V1, V2) ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR CUTTINGALUMINUM. Certain workpieces may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as shown in FigureV1. FigureV2 illustrates the wrong way to cut theseextrusions. Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax directly to the saw blade

before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade. The wax provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to theblade. Bowed Material (Fig. W1, W2) When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in FigureW1 and never like that shown in FigureW2. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch theblade. Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important when making anglecuts. Cutting Large Material (Fig.X) Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the lower guard. If this occurs, place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard

and roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in FigureX. Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THISSAW.45 ENGLISH Protecting the Environment Separate collection.
