  • Residual risks can be minimised if the „safety instructions“ and the „Proper use“ are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.
  • Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade, which results in reduced output of the machine in the processing and in cut precision.
  • When cutting plastic material, please always use clamps: the parts which should be cut must always be fixed between the clamps.
  • Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet.
  • Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In doing so, your mitre saw provides optimal performance.
  • Hands may never enter the processing zone when the machine is in operation. Release the handle button and switch off the machine prior to any operations.

7. Before starting the equipment

  • The equipment must be set up where it can stand securely. Secure the machine on a workbench or a stand with 4 screws through the holes in the fixed saw table (15).
  • All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the equipment is switched on.
  • It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
  • When working with wood that has been processed before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or screws, etc.
  • Before you press the ON/OFF switch check that the saw blade is fitted correctly. Moving parts must run smoothly.
  • Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure the data on the rating plate are dentical to the mains data.

Do not use the tool if the switch does not allow you to switch from the ON state to the OFF state.

8. Attachment and operation

8.1 Attaching the saw (Fig1/2/3/4/5)

  • In order to adjust the rotary table (14) loosen the set screw (26) approx. 2 turns.
  • Turn the rotary table (14) and pointer (12) to the desired angle measurement on the scale (13) and secure with the set screw (26).
  • Pressing the machine head (4) lightly downwards and removing the locking bolt (23) from the motor bracket at the same time disengages the saw from the lowest position.
  • Swing the machine head (4) up until the release lever (3) latches into place.
  • It is possible to secure the clamping device (7) to the left or right on the stationary saw bench (15). Insert the clamping device (7) in the hole on the rear side of the stop rail (16) and secure it with the star grip screw (7a).
  • Attach the workpiece supports (8) to the fixed saw table (15) as shown in Figure 5 and fasten with the screw (9).
  • It is possible to tilt the machine head (4) a max. 45^ to the left by loosening the set screw (22).

8.2 Precision adjustment of the stop for crosscut 90° (Fig. 1/6/7)

  • No stop angle included.
  • Lower the machine head (4) and secure using the locking bolt (23).
  • Loosen the set screw (22).
  • Position the angle stop (a) between the saw blade (6) and the rotary table (14).
  • Adjust the adjusting screw (27) until the angle between the saw blade (6) and rotary table (14) is 90^ .
  • It is not necessary to fix this setting because it is maintained by the spring pretension.

- Subsequently check the position of the angle indicator. If necessary loosen the pointer (19) using a Philips screwdriver, set to position 0^ on the angle scale (18) and re-tighten the retaining screw.

8.3 Cross cut 90° and turntable 0° (Fig.8)

In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm it is possible to fix the traction function of the saw with the set screw (20) in the rear position. In this position the machine can be operated in cross cutting mode. If the cutting width is over 100 mm then it is necessary to ensure that the set screw (20) is loose and the machine head (4) can move.

Attention! For 90° cross cuts, the moveable stop rail (16a) must be fixed in the inner position.

- Open the set screw (16b) on the moveable stop rail (16a) and push the moveable stop rail (28) inwards.

- The moveable stop rail (16a) must be locked in a position far enough from the inner position that the distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw blade (6) is no more than 8 mm.

- Before making the cut, check that no collision could occur between the stop rail (16a) and the saw blade (6).

- Tighten the set screw (16b) again.

- Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
