GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool.

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

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. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. 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 or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 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 electric shock. 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 electric shock. 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 electric shock.

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 infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. 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 fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. 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 personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 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 moving parts. 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-related hazards. 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 a second.

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 was designed. 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 be repaired. 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 tool accidentally. 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 untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aff ect the power toolʼs operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 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 diff erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 00BookC8FSHGEU.indb2700BookC8FSHGEU.indb27 2019/07/0814:34:202019/07/0814:34:20English

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. PRECAUTION Keep children and infi rm persons away. When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infi rm persons.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER

SAW a) Miter 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. b) 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. 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, causing injury. 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 the operator. 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 very dangerous. f) 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. 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 tile spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. 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 high speed.

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 during cutting. j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, fi rm work surface before use. A level and fi rm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable. k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter 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.

I) 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 miter 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. 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 spinning blade. n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confi ned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently. o) Always use a clamp or a fi xture 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. p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown. q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter 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 lass of control or damage to the miter saw. r) After fi nishing 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. s) Hold the handle fi rmly 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. 00BookC8FSHGEU.indb2800BookC8FSHGEU.indb28 2019/07/0814:34:202019/07/0814:34:20English

(4) Tilt the cutting arm back to the right at 90° bevel and recheck for alignment. (5) Repeat steps 1 through 4 if further adjustment is needed. (6) Tighten bevel lock knob and lock nut when alignment is achieved.

11. 90° Bevel pointer adjustment (Fig. 6)

(1) When the blade is exactly 90° (0°) to the table, loosen the bevel pointer screw using a #2 Phillips screwdriver. (2) Adjust bevel pointer to the “0” mark on the bevel scale and retighten the screw.

12. 45° Left bevel adjustment (Fig. 7)

(1) Loosen the bevel lock knob and tilt the cutting head completely to the left. (2) Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is 45° to the table. (3) If the blade is not at 45° to the miter table, tilt the cutting arm to the right, loosen the lock nut and use a 10 mm spanner to adjust the stop bolt depth in or out to increase or decrease the bevel angle. (4) Tilt the cutting arm to the left to 45° bevel and recheck for alignment. (5) Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the blade at 45° to the miter table. (6) Tighten bevel lock knob and lock nut when alignment is achieved.

13. Miter angle adjustment

The slide compound miter saw scale can be easily read, showing miter angles from 0° to 48° to the left and right. The miter saw table has nine of the most common angle settings with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive stops position the blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately. Follow the process below for quickest and most accurate adjustments. Adjusting miter angles: (Fig. 8) (1) Lift up the quick-cam locking lever to unlock the table. (2) Move the table while lifting up on the positive stop locking lever to align the pointer to the desired degree measurement. (3) Lock the table into position by pressing down the quick-cam locking lever. Miter pointer adjustment: (1) Move the table to the 0° positive stop. (2) Loosen the screw that holds the miter pointer with a Phillips screwdriver. (3) Adjust the pointer to the 0° mark and retighten the screw. 00BookC8FSHGEU.indb3200BookC8FSHGEU.indb32 2019/07/0814:34:212019/07/0814:34:21English

The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was set at the factory. (1) Setting the maximum width travel of the cutting head, follow the below steps: (Fig. 9-a) Turn the stop knob counterclockwise until the stop knob is not protruding out of the stop seat while moving the cutting head upward. Rotate the anchor plate clockwise. Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head front to back through the full motion of a typical cut along the control arm. (2) Setting the maximum height travel of the cutting head, follow the below steps: (Fig. 9-b) Turn the stop knob counterclockwise until the stop knob is not protruding out of the stop seat while moving the cutting head upward. Rotate the anchor plate counterclockwise to touch the stop block. Make sure the stop seat touches the anchor plate completely.

15. Setting the cutting depth (Fig. 9-b)

The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive shallow cuts. (1) Adjust the cutting head down until the teeth of the blade are at the desired depth. (2) While holding the upper arm in that position, turn the stop knob until it touches the anchor plate. (3) Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head front to back through the full motion of a typical cut along the control arm. NOTE If the anchor plate becomes loose, it can interfere with raising and lowering the cutting head. The anchor plate must be tightened in horizontal position as shown in Fig. 9-b.

Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts are so fi xed that the saw blade does not contact them. The burr of the bottom surface of the workpiece is remarkably reduced, if the table insert is fi xed so that the gap between the side surface of the table insert and the saw blade will be minimum. Before using the tool, eliminate this gap in accordance with the following procedure. (1) Right angle cutting Loosen the three 4 mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and temporarily tighten the 4 mm machine screws of both ends. Then fi x a workpiece (about 200 mm wide) with the vise assembly and cut it off . After aligning the cutting surface with the edge of the table insert, securely tighten the 4 mm machine screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 4 mm center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way. (2) Left bevel angle cutting Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 10-b following the same procedure for right angle cutting. CAUTION After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the table insert will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel angle cutting. When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the table insert for bevel angle cutting.

WARNING The sub fence must be extended when making any left angle bevel cut. Failure to extend the sub fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through which could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence. This power tool is equipped with a sub fence. In the case of direct angle cutting use the sub fence. Then, you can realize stable cutting of the material with a wide back face. When left angle cutting, loosen the lock knob, then slide the sub fence outward, as shown in Fig. 11. NOTE When transporting the saw, always secure the sub fence in the collapsed position and lock it.

3. Securing the workpiece

WARNING Always clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.

4. Slide carriage system (Fig. 12)

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, return slide carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation. For chop cutting operations on small workpieces, slide the cutting head assembly completely toward the rear of the unit and tighten the slide securing knob. To cut wide boards up to 305 mm, the slide securing knob must be loosened to allow the cutting head slide freely.

5. Quick-cam locking lever operation (Fig. 13)

If miter angles required are NOT one of the nine positive stops, the miter table can be locked at any angle between these positive stops by using the quick-cam locking lever. Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-cam locking lever. While holding the positive stop locking lever up, grasp the miter handle and move the table left or right to the desired angle. Release the positive stop locking lever. Press down on the quick-cam locking lever until it locks the table in place.

WARNING ● For your own safety, never connect the plug to power source outlet until the adjustment steps are complete and you have read and understood the safety and operational instructions. ● Your tool is equipped with a laser guide using a Class 1M laser guide. The laser guide allows you to preview the saw blade path on the workpiece to be cut before starting the miter saw. The saw must be connected to the power source and the laser on/off switch must be turned on for the laser line to show. (1) Avoid direct eye contact (Fig. 14) WARNING

(2) Checking laser line alignment (Fig. 15) (a) Set the saw to a 0° miter and 0° bevel setting. (b) Use a combination square to mark a 90° angled running across the top of a board. This line will serve as the pattern line to adjust the laser. Place the board on the saw table. (c) Carefully lower the saw head down to align the saw blade with the pattern line. Position the saw blade to the left, side of the “pattern line” depending on your preference for the laser line location. Lock the board in place with the hold-down clamp. (d) With the saw plugged in, turn on the laser guide. Your saw has been preset with the laser line to the left side of the blade. (e) Lower saw blade to pattern line and if blade is not fl ush with the pattern line, adjust as follow the instructions listed below under “Adjusting the angle of the laser line” paragraph and “Aligning the laser line” paragraph. (3) Adjusting the angle of the laser line (Fig. 16, 17) (a) After sliding the motor head forward, remove two rivets on two sides of the laser housing and take the laser housing off to reveal the laser marker. (Fig. 16) (b) Turn the laser marker in the desired direction to adjust the laser angle. (Fig. 17) NOTE Do not adjust the laser more than ¼ turn in either direction as this may damage the laser. (4) Aligning the laser line. (Fig. 16, 18) (a) Loosen only ½ turn at a time the four set screws. (Fig. 18) (b) Adjust laser marker by turning the left side set screws clockwise to shift the laser line to the right. To shift the laser line to the left, turn the right side set screws ½ turn at a time. (c) Once alignment of the laser is achieved, tighten only ½ turn at a time the four set screws. (d) After fi nishing the laser adjustment, replace the laser housing on the laser marker and then tighten the two rivets. (Fig. 16) PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS WARNING ○ To avoid personal injury, never remove or place a workpiece on the table while the tool is being operated. ○ Never place your limbs inside of the line next to warning sign while the tool is being operated (see Fig. 19). This may cause hazardous conditions. CAUTION ○ It is dangerous to remove or install the workpiece while the saw blade is turning. ○ When sawing, clean off the shavings from the turntable. ○ If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blade from the cutting material will be exposed. Never subject your hand or anything else to go near the exposed blade. NOTE Prior to operating the switch, make sure to check the stability of the tool by setting the angle and turn to conduct a trial cutting run without using a workpiece.

3. Cutting Operation

(1) As shown in Fig. 22 the width of the saw blade is the width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the right (viewed from the operator’s position) when length ⓑ is desired, or to the left when length ⓐ is desired. If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the laser line. (2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the handle down carefully until the saw blade approaches the workpiece. (3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece. (4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it to the full retract position. CAUTION Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed. On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi ciency. WARNING ● Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use. ● Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece. If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously. ● Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is fi nished, turn the trigger switch off , and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract position. ● Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step. ● Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation at once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then restart your cutting operation.

4. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting)

(1) Workpieces up to 65 mm high and 280 mm wide: Loosen the slide securing knob (see Fig. 1), grip the handle and slide the saw blade forward. Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade backward to cut the workpiece as indicated in Fig. 23. This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to 65 mm in height and 280 mm in width. (2) Workpieces up to 54 mm high and 305 mm wide: Workpieces of up to 54 mm in height and up to 305 mm in width can be cut in the same manner as described in paragraph 4-(1) above on page 34. 00BookC8FSHGEU.indb3400BookC8FSHGEU.indb34 2019/07/0814:34:212019/07/0814:34:21English

CAUTION ● If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut. Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully. ● In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards) in a single, smooth operation. Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece. WARNING ● For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated above in Fig. 23. Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because the saw blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle away from the operator. ● Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of injury. ● Never put your hand on the miter handle during the cutting operation because the saw blade comes close to the miter handle when the motor head is lowered.

5. Bevel cutting procedures

WARNING The sub fence must be extended when making any bevel cut. Failure to extend the sub fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through which could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence. (1) When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock knob by turning it clockwise. (Fig. 24) (2) Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle, as shown on the bevel scale. (3) The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45°. Tighten the bevel lock knob to lock the cutting head in position. Positive stops are provided at 0° and 45°. (4) Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the table for pre-alignment of your cut. WARNING When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece. If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously. When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position. Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade. CAUTION ● If not tightened fi rmly enough the motor head might suddenly move or slip, causing injuries. Be sure to tighten the motor head section enough so it will not move. ● Always check that the bevel lock knob is secured and the motor head is clamped. If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the motor head, then the motor head might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.

6. Miter cutting procedures (Fig. 25)

(1) Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-cam locking lever. (2) While raising the positive stop locking lever up, grasp the miter handle and rotate the table left or right to the desired angle. (3) Release the positive stop locking lever and set the table at the desired angle, making sure the lever snaps into place. (4) Once the desired miter angle is achieved, press down on the quick-cam locking lever to secure the table into position. (5) If the desired miter angle is NOT one of the nine positive stops noted above, simply lock the table at the desired angle by pressing down on the quick-cam locking lever. (6) Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the table for pre-alignment of your cut. CAUTION Always check that the miter handle is secured and the turntable is clamped. If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the turntable, then the turntable might shift unexpectedly causing injuries. NOTE ○ Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° settings. Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned. ○ Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator out of alignment will result in poor cutting precision.

7. Compound cutting procedures

Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 4 to 6 above. For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table on page 31. CAUTION Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw backwards with the other hand. It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left during compound cutting because the saw blade may come into contact with the hand that is securing the workpiece. In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left bevel, extend the sub fence fully before cutting operation. Please confi rm that sub fence does not interfere with other parts before attempting compound cutting.

8. Groove cutting procedures

Grooves in the workpiece can be cut as indicated in Fig. 26 by adjusting the stop knob. Cutting depth adjustment procedure: (1) Turn the anchor plate on the direction shown in Fig. 27. Lower the motor head, and turn the stop knob by hand. (where the head of the stop knob contacts the anchor plate.) (2) Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the distance between the saw blade and the surface of the turntable (see ⓑ in Fig. 27). NOTE When cutting a single groove at either end of the workpiece, remove the unneeded portion with a chisel.

9. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as

aluminum sash Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will cause ineffi cient cutting and possible overload of the motor. When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 28-a. Set the wood plate near the cutting section. When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve smooth cutting and a fi ne fi nish. In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 28-b to ensure stability in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and tighten it using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market. 00BookC8FSHGEU.indb3500BookC8FSHGEU.indb35 2019/07/0814:34:212019/07/0814:34:21English

SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND

DISMOUNTING WARNING ● To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a saw blade. If cutting work is done in a state where the 8 mm bolt is not suffi ciently tightened, the 8 mm bolt can get loose, the blade can come off , and the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in injuries. Also, check that the 8 mm bolts are properly tightened before plugging the power plug into the receptacle. ● If the 8 mm bolts are attached or detached using tools other than the 13 mm wrench (standard accessory), excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting in injury.

1. Dismounting the blade (Fig. 29-a, Fig. 29-b, Fig. 29-c

and Fig. 29-d) (1) Unplug the power cord from the outlet. (2) Raise the cutting head to the upright position and slide the cutting head completely toward the rear of the unit and tighten the slide securing knob. (3) Push slightly on the blade guard locking lever and then raise the lower guard to the uppermost position. (4) While holding the lower guard, remove the cover plate screw with a Phillips screwdriver. (5) Rotate the cover plate to expose the 8 mm bolt. (6) Place the blade end spanner over the 8 mm bolt. (7) Locate the spindle lock on the motor. (8) Press the spindle lock, holding it in fi rmly while turning the blade clockwise. The spindle lock will then engage and lock the arbor. Continue to hold the spindle lock, while turning the spanner clockwise to loosen the 8 mm bolt. (9) Remove the 8 mm bolt, washer (B) and the blade. Do not remove the washer (A). NOTE ○ If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the spindle, turn the 8 mm bolt with 13 mm wrench (standard accessory) while applying pressure on the spindle lock. The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock is pressed inward. ○ Pay attention to the pieces removed, noting their position and direction they face. Wipe the washer (B) clean from any sawdust before installing a new blade. WARNING When mounting the saw blade, confi rm that the rotation indicator mark on the saw blade and the rotation direction of the lower guard (see Fig. 1) are properly matched. CAUTION ● Confi rm that the spindle lock has returned to the retract position after installing or removing the saw blade. ● Tighten the 8 mm bolt so it does not come loose during operation. Confi rm the 8 mm bolt has been properly tightened before the power tool is started.

2. Mounting the saw blade

WARNING Unplug the miter saw before changing/installing the blade. (1) Install a 216 mm blade with arbor, making sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the lower guard, and the blade teeth are pointing downward. (2) Place washer (B) against the blade. Thread the 8 mm bolt on arbor in a counterclockwise direction. NOTE Make sure the fl ats of the washers are engaged with the fl ats on the arbor shaft. Also, the fl at side of the washer must be placed against the blade. (3) Place the blade spanner on the 8 mm bolt. (4) Press the spindle lock, holding it in fi rmly while turning the blade counterclockwise. When it engages, continue to press the spindle lock in, while tightening the 8 mm bolt securely. (5) Rotate the cover plate back to its original position until the slot in the cover plate engages with the hole of cover plate screw. While holding the lower guard at the uppermost position, tighten the cover plate screw with a Phillips screwdriver. (6) Lower the lower guard and verify that operation of the guard and blade guard locking lever do not bind or stick. (7) Be sure the spindle lock is released so the blade turns freely. CAUTION Never attempt to install saw blades larger than 216 mm in diameter. Always install saw blades that are 216 mm in diameter or less.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF before performing any maintenance or inspection of this tool. Report to qualifi ed person as soon as possible, if you discover the fault of machine including guards or blade saw.

1. Inspecting the saw blade

Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the fi rst sign of deterioration or damage. A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineff ective operation and possible overload to the motor. CAUTION Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance to the hand pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate the power tool.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, re-tighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 30)

Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 6 mm length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, fi rst unplug the saw. Then remove the brush cap on the side of the motor. Remove the cap cautiously, because it is springloaded. Then pull out the brush and replace. Replace for the other side. To reassemble reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same hole the carbon part fi ts into. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten. NOTE To reinstall the same brushes, fi rst make sure the brushes go back in the way they came out. This will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor performance and increases wear.

4. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

5. Replacing supply cord
