CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION

The mitre saw is a device equipped with the base that provides the possibility to change the angle of the cutting head attached to it. In addition, depending on a design, the mitre saw head can be tilted at an angle or slid out to increase the functionality and cutting length. The mitre saw is designed for cutting wooden pieces that match with the tool size. Do not use the saw for cutting rewood. Use the mitre saw accordingly to its purpose only. Attempts to use the mitre saw for purposes other than specied will be considered an improper use. Use the mitre saw only with appropriate cutting discs with teeth with sintered carbide inserts. The mitre saw is designed for carpentry works in workshops and for joinery works. The power tool should be used according to its purpose!19

EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES

Make sure the mitre saw is disconnected from power supply, before any adjusting or mounting works are commenced.

HANDLING THE MITRE SAW

Ɣ Make sure the head is locked in the lowest position when carrying the mitre saw. Ɣ Make sure that the work table locking knob, head locking lever, and other safety parts are tightened rmly. INSTALLING THE MITRE SAW ON A WORKSHOP BENCH It is recommended to x the mitre saw to a workbench or a stand with the use of mounting holes (19) designed for such purpose. They are located on the mitre saw base and guarantee safe operation and eliminate risk of unwanted machine shifts during operation. The holes allow to use bolts with hexagonal head and 8 mm in diameter.20 When xing the mitre saw to a workbench ensure that: Ɣ The workbench top surface is at and clean. Ɣ Screws and bolts are tightened equally and moderately (mounting bolts must be tightened so the base is not stressed or deformed). In case of over-stress there is danger of breaking the base. DUST EXTRACTION To prevent dust accumulation and provide maximum eciency, you can connect the mitre saw to an industrial vacuum cleaner using the dust extraction connector (28) Alternatively, you can collect the dust in the dust-bag (included) after installing it onto the dust extraction connector. To install, put the dust bag (29) onto the dust extraction connector (28) (g. A). To empty the dust bag, remove it from the dust extraction outlet and open the zip-fastener that allows to access inside the bag. To achieve optimal dust extraction empty the bag when it is 2/3 full. USING THE EXTENSION ARM (HEAD) There are two positions of the extension arm – upper and lower. To release the extension arm from locked lower position, do as follows: Ɣ Press and hold down the extension arm. Ɣ Pull the head locking pin (9). Ɣ Hold the extension arm as it raises to its upper position. To lock the extension arm in the lower position, do as follows: Ɣ Press and hold the disc guard lever (5). Ɣ Release the pressure downwards onto the extension arm until it is located in its lower position. Ɣ Lock the extension arm in this position, sliding the head locking pin in (9). VERTICAL CLAMP The vertical clamp (g. B) can be installed in the saw base at either side of the work table and is fully adjustable to size of the workpiece to be cut. Do not use the saw without using the vertical clamp. Ɣ Loosen the vertical clamp mounting knob (30) to the base on the side, which the vertical clamp will be installed. Ɣ Install the vertical clamp by sliding it into the hole in the mitre saw base and tighten the vertical clamp mounting knob (30) to the mitre saw base. Ɣ Once the vertical clamp arm position is adjusted (31) to the workpiece, tighten the vertical clamp arm locking knob (32) and workpiece mounting knob (33). Ɣ Make sure the workpiece is secured. OPERATION / ADJUSTMENTS Make sure the mitre saw is disconnected from power supply, before any adjusting or mounting works are commenced. To ensure safe, precise and ecient operation of the mitre saw, proceed with all adjustment procedures as a whole. After nishing all the setting and adjustment procedures, ensure that all spanners are collected. Check that all threaded connections are properly tightened. When making adjustments, ensure that all external parts work properly and are in good condition. Any worn or damaged part must be replaced by qualied personnel before starting to use the mitre saw.

SWITCHING ON /SWITCHING OFF

The mains voltage must correspond to the value specied on the mitre saw nameplate. Switch on the mitre saw only when the cutting disc is away from the workpiece to be cut. The mitre saw features the switch lock button (3) that protects against accidental starting. Switching ON Ɣ Press the switch lock button (3). Ɣ Press and hold the switch button (4).21 Switching OFF Ɣ Release pressure on the switch button (4).

OPERATION OF THE TABLE EXTENSIONS

Ɣ The table extensions (16) are located on both sides of the mitre saw base. Ɣ Unlock the locking knobs of the table extension (18) (g. C). Ɣ Adjust the length of the table extensions. Ɣ Fasten the table extension using the locking knobs (18). Ɣ If needed, the tilting limiters can be used (17) to facilitate cutting to size.

OPERATION OF THE CUTTING DEPTH LIMITER

The cutting depth limiter can be used, when it is necessary to make a key in the workpiece. It is performed by making a surface cut in the workpiece, when the disc does not operate at full possible depth. Ɣ Lock the head locking lever (14). Ɣ Loosen the guide locking knob (12) and move the head backwards. Ɣ Tighten the guide locking knob (12). Ɣ Rotate the cutting depth limiter (10) to the setting for operation with limited cutting depth (g. D). Ɣ Lower the extension arm and hold it in the lower position leaning against the cutting depth limiter. Ɣ Rotate (to the left or right) the cutting depth limiter bolt (11) (g. D) to obtain the required depth of the cutting disc. Ɣ Loosen the guide locking knob (12). Ɣ Make the cuts to the set depth. Ɣ In order to return to the full cutting depth, rotate the cutting depth limiter (10) to the position, in which the cutting depth limiter bolt (11) does not contact the cutting depth limiter (10), once the extension arm is lowered. SETTING THE WORKING TABLE FOR MITRE CUTTING The rotary extension arm allows for cutting the workpiece at any angle in the range of 45° left or right from the perpendicular position. Ɣ Pull the head locking pin (9) and allow the extension arm to rise slowly to the upper position. Ɣ Loosen the working table locking knob (23). Ɣ Press and hold the automatic setting lever (22) and rotate the extension arm to the left or right so the required value is shown on the angle scale of the working table (20). Ɣ Lock the working table locking knob (23). The angle scale of the working table (20) has a number of marked positions, in which the preliminary automatic setting of the rotary extension arm is made. This can be done only when the automatic setting lever (22) is not held in the pressed position and it can be locked in factory-marked positions during the rotation of the extension arm. These are the most frequently used mitre sawing angles (15º, 22,5º, 30º, 45º to the left / right). The setting of any angle can be precisely adjusted using the angle scale of the working table (20) with the scale every single degree. Even though the scale is accurate enough for a majority of performed tasks, it is recommended to double-check the cutting angle with a protractor or other device for angle measurements. CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE PERPENDICULAR POSITION OF THE CUTTING DISC AND WORKING TABLE Ɣ Loosen the head locking lever (14). Ɣ Set the head in the position of 0º (perpendicular to the working table) and tighten the head locking lever (14). Ɣ Loosen the working table locking knob (23), and press and hold the automatic setting lever (22). Ɣ Set the working table in the position of 0º, release the automatic setting lever and tighten the working table lock knob (23). Ɣ Press the cutting disc guard lever (5) and lower the saw head to the extreme lower position. Ɣ Use the tool to check perpendicularity of the cutting disc in relation to the working table.22 When making measurements make sure that measurement instrument does not touch any cutting disc tooth, otherwise the measurement may be inaccurate due to the thickness of the sintered carbide insert. If the measured angle is not 90º, then the following adjustment is necessary: Ɣ Loosen the retaining nut and rotate the 0º (42) angle adjusting bolt (g. E) to the right or left in order to increase or decrease the cutting disc tilt angle. Ɣ Once the perpendicular position of the cutting disc and working table is set, allow the head to return to its upper position. Ɣ Holding the 0º (42) angle adjusting bolt, tighten the retaining nut. Ɣ Lower the head and make sure that the set angle corresponds to indications on the head tilt angle scale (34), if necessary, adjust the head tilt angle indication (35) (g. E). Similar adjustment should be made for the angle of 45º of the head for mitre sawing by means of the 45º (43) (g. E) angle adjusting bolt. CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE PERPENDICULAR POSITION OF THE CUTTING DISC IN RELATION

Perform this procedure each time the fence is removed or replaced. Proceed with the adjustment only after the perpendicularity of the cutting disc in relation to the working table is set. The fence is used as a stop for workpiece. Ɣ Loosen the working table locking knob (23), and press and hold the automatic setting lever (22) and set the working table to the position of 0º. Ɣ Lower the saw head to the extreme lower position. Ɣ Put a protractor or any other angle measurement tool to the cutting disc. Ɣ Move the angle measurement tool to the fence (15). Ɣ The measurement should indicate 90º. If it is necessary to adjust the angle, proceed as follows: Ɣ Loosen the fence mounting bolts (15) to the base. Ɣ Adjust the position of the fence (15) so that it is perpendicular to the cutting disc. Ɣ Tighten the fence mounting bolts. SETTING THE EXTENSION ARM HEAD FOR MITRE CUTTING The extension arm can be tilted at any angle ranging from 0º to 45º – for mitre sawing (g. E). Ɣ Pull the head locking pin (9) and release and allow the extension arm to rise slowly to the upper position. Ɣ Loosen the head locking lever (14). Ɣ Tilt the extension arm to the left at the required angle, which you can read on the head tilt angle scale (34) using the head tilt angle indicator (35) (g. E). Ɣ Tighten the head locking lever (14). If it is necessary to adjust both angles (in both planes, horizontal and vertical) for combination sawing, always set the mitre sawing angle rst.

CHECKING OPERATION OF THE LASER

The laser unit emits a laser beam that projects the line on a workpiece that indicates how the workpiece will be cut. The proper adjustment of the laser line projection has been adjusted during the production process. Nevertheless, for precision works, check this adjustment before starting to saw. Ɣ Place batteries in the battery compartment (36) (g. F) paying attention to polarity. Ɣ Set the working table in the position, where the working table angle indicator (21) is aligned with the point of 0º on the angle scale of the working table (20), while the head tilt angle indicator (35) (g. E) is aligned with the point of 0º on the head tilt angle scale (34) (g. E). Ɣ Fasten a piece of waste material to the working table (25) and make a cut. Ɣ Release the extension arm and leave waste material xed to the working table of the saw. Ɣ Set the laser switch button (37) to the ON position „I” (marked).23 Ɣ The projected light beam should be parallel to the previously made cut. LASER ADJUSTMENT When the laser guiding beam is adjusted, do not look at the source of the laser beam or its reection on a reective surface. Always switch o the laser unit, when the laser is not used. Whenever the projected light beam is not parallel to the previously made cut, proceed as follows: Ɣ Slightly rotate the laser to the left or right (38) (g. G) in the laser unit housing (26), until the laser beam is position in parallel. Do not rotate the laser unit using force and by more than a few degrees. Ɣ When any lateral adjustment is necessary, loosen the laser unit mounting bolts (39) and move the laser unit to the left or right, until the red line is parallel to the cut Dust arising from cutting may suppress laser light, therefore it is necessary to clean the laser lens occasionally.

Before the switch button is pressed, ensure that the mitre saw is assembled and adjusted properly and accordingly to instructions in this manual. The described mitre saw is designed for the right-handed. Ɣ Press the switch lock button (3). Ɣ Press the switch button (4). Ɣ Allow the saw motor to reach its full rotational speed. Ɣ Press the cutting disc guard lever (5). Ɣ Lower the extension arm towards a workpiece. Ɣ Release pressure on the cutting disc guard lever (5). Ɣ Make a cut.

Ɣ Release pressure on the switch button (4) and wait until the cutting disc comes to full stop. Ɣ Raise the extension arm of the saw by putting it aside from the workpiece. Temporary sparking of brushes inside the electric motor is normal when the mitre saw stops. Do not stop the cutting disc by applying lateral pressure.

CUTTING WITH THE SAW

The workpiece should be fastened so it does not impede using the mitre saw. Before switching the saw on, move its head to the lower position to ensure that the saw head and cutting disc guard are free to move. Make sure the cutting disc guard can reach its extreme position. Before the cut is commenced, make sure the working table locking knob (23) and the head locking lever (14) of the mitre saw are tightened and secured. Ɣ Connect the mitre saw to the power mains. Ɣ Make sure the power cord is away from the cutting disc and base of the device. Ɣ Place the workpiece onto the working table and make sure it is secured so as it cannot move during the cut. Ɣ Move the mitre saw heat to the extreme rear position and lock the guide (13) using the guide locking knob (12). Ɣ Unlock the head and cutting disc guard. Ɣ Press the switch lock button and start the saw with the switch (wait until the cutting disc reaches its maximum rotational speed). Ɣ Slowly lower the saw head. Ɣ Start cutting by moderately pressing the head down. Insucient tightening of the locking knobs may cause unexpected movement of the cutting disc to the upper surface of the workpiece. It puts an operator to danger of being hit with a piece of material.24 CUTTING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE SAW EXTENSION ARM (HEAD) OF THE MITRE SAW The feeding of the saw extension arm allows forward and backward movement of the cutting disc to cut wider workpieces. Ɣ Set the extension arm in the upper position. Ɣ Loosen the guide locking knob (12). Ɣ Before switching on the saw, pull the extension arm to yourself while holding it in the upper position. Ɣ Press the switch lock button (3) and start the saw. Ɣ Release the extension arm and wait until the cutting disc reaches its maximum speed. Ɣ Release the cutting disc guard. Ɣ Lower the extension arm and start cutting. Ɣ When cutting, move the extension arm to the back (away from yourself). Ɣ Once the workpiece has been cut, release pressure on the switch button, and before you lift the saw arm to the upper position, wait until the cutting disc stops rotating. Never cut by moving the saw head towards yourself. Otherwise, the cutting disc might catch the work piece, which puts the operator in danger of recoil.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Before any operations related to installation, adjustment, repairs or maintenance are commenced, the plug of the power cord should be disconnected from the socket. CLEANING Ɣ When the work is completed, remove thoroughly all pieces of material, chips and dust from the working table insert, area around the cutting disc and its guard. Ɣ Ensure the ventilation holes of the motor casing are clean, there are no chips or dust. Ɣ Clean guides and apply thin layer of solid grease. Ɣ All handles and knobs should be kept clean. Ɣ Clean the laser projector lens with a brush.

REPLACING THE CUTTING DISC

Ɣ Press the cutting disc guard lever (5). Ɣ Raise the cutting disc guard (7) and loosen the central plate mounting bolt (40) (g. H). Ɣ Move the central plate (41) to the left to provide access to the cutting disc mounting bolt. Ɣ Press the spindle lock button (6) and rotate the cutting disc until it locks. Ɣ Using the special spanner (included), loosen and unscrew the cutting disc mounting bolt. Ɣ Remove the external washer and remove the cutting disc (paying attention to the reducer ring, if provided). Ɣ Remove all impurities from the spindle and cutting disc mounting washers. Ɣ Mount a new cutting disc by performing the described activities in a reverse order. Ɣ Once completed, make sure all spanner and adjusting tools are removed and all bolts, knobs and screws are tightened and secured. The cutting disc locking bolt has left-hand thread. Exercise utmost attention when gripping the cutting disc. Use protective gloves to provide protection for your hands against sharp teeth of the cutting disc.
