OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When operating the power tool, certain procedures
must be taken into consideration in order to avoid loss
of control of the tool and workpieces, damage to the
work area and injury to the user.
▪ The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not
exceed that of the saw blade. If this does not happen,
the saw blade may become damaged;
▪ Never start sliding miter saw when the blade is
touching the workpiece. The saw blade must not
touch the workpiece until the maximum rotation
speed has been reached;
▪ Never use your saw without the kerf plate;
▪ Make sure that the blade does not contact the table
in the lowest position;
▪ Always use the clamp to secure the workpiece when
cutting. Unsecured workpieces can fly off at high
speed, causing serious injury;
▪ Do not use this sliding meter saw to cut pieces that
are too small and need to be held by hand;
▪ Cut only one workpiece at a time;
▪ Before you start cutting, ensure that the cutting area
is completely clean. Wood chips can be ejected at
high speed, causing serious injuries;
▪ Avoid cutting deformed or bowed workpieces. These
workpieces can shift and cause the saw blade to
warp;
▪ Never cut pieces that contain nails or metal objects;
▪ Whenever you change the bevel or miter angle
before cutting, make sure that the blade does not
contact any metal part. Before turning on the power
tool and with no workpiece placed over the table,
perform a complete simulated cut to ensure there
will be no interference;
▪ After finishing the cut, release the ON/OFF switch
and hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop completely before removing the cut-off piece;
Keep your hands away from the blade and the
cutting area while the blade is rotating and cause
serious injury.
Adjusting the cutting depth
When adjusting the cutting depth, ensure that the
edge of the blade is less than 5mm below the top
of the kerf plate (12).
To set the cutting depth, use the adjustment bolt (18),
which is located near the laser switch.
1. Use the bolt to set to the maximum depth allowed.
Keep this bolt always in the same position, thus
ensuring that the blade never touches the rotating
table;
2. Use the bolt to adjust the cutting depth.
- Loosen the bolt and adjust the locknut to increase
the cutting depth;
- Tighten the bolt and adjust the locknut to decrease
the cutting depth.
Adjusting the 0° and 45° positions on the angle scale
To adjust the blade limit positions (0°/45°), use the
adjustment bolts.
1. Use the right bolt to adjust to the exact angle of 0º;
2. Use the left bolt to the exact angle of 45°.
Adjusting the miter angle
1. Loosen the miter locking handle (13) of the turntable
(16);
2. Rotate the turntable to the desired miter angle (right
or left) (45°- 0°- 45°);
The table can rotate up to 45° to both sides as
shown in the scale.
3. The miter angle indicator (14) indicates the angle
selected on the scale (15) placed on the base.
