Transporting the product
Transporting the mitre saw must be done in its original factory packaging. Lower the cutting head to the lowest position and secure
with the pin. Turn the table by 45 degrees, in accordance with the arrangement of the polystyrene mouldings in the packaging.
Remove the work table locking screw.
If the saw is to be moved over short distances, e.g. to change the workstation, the saw must fi rst be secured by lowering and
locking the head, securing the movement of the horizontal cutter guide and the rotation of the head in both cutting planes. Always
transport the mitre saw disconnected from the power supply. The power cord must be unplugged from the socket.
If the saw is equipped with a transport handle, use it to carry the tool over short distances. Before using the handle, make sure
that the head has been secured in its lower position and its movement along the guides and position in both cutting planes has
been locked.
Laser pointer
The saw has a laser pointer, which shows the cutting line on the workpiece attached to the table. The pointer is activated with an
independent switch. Position: O - indicates that the pointer is off , position: I - indicates that the pointer is on. Do not look at the
laser beam emission source, as it may cause temporary or permanent damage to eyesight.
Cutting with the mitre saw
There are three types of sawing possible. Cutting while the head is moving down or cutting while the lowered and locked head
moves horizontally. The third type is the plunge cutting, where the head is lowered to a pre-set height, held in this position and
then moved horizontally.
Full lifting of the head will trigger an additional lock to prevent unintentional lowering of the head. The head can only be lowered
after pulling the lock away (XVI).
Move the head and secure it by tightening the guide lock screw (XVII). Adjust the angles of the head and make a simulated cut
without connecting the saw to the power supply. Check that the circular saw does not come into contact with the table, retaining
plate or any other part other than the workpiece.
When cutting with the lowered head moving along the guides, lower the head and secure it with the locking pin. Unlock the guides
by loosening the locking screw. Adjust the angles of the head and make a simulated cut without connecting the saw to the power
supply. Check that the circular saw does not come into contact with the table, retaining plate or any other part other than the
workpiece. Check that the movement on the guides is smooth.
If the head is set at a certain height, loosen the fi xing screw of the head-lowering limiter, move it and lock it in this position by
tightening the screw (XVIII). Then adjust the lowering height of the head by screwing in the screw and lock it with the ring (XIX).
Adjust the angles of the head and make a simulated cut without connecting the saw to the power supply. Check that the circular
saw does not come into contact with the table, retaining plate or any other part other than the workpiece. Check that the movement
on the guides is smooth.
Fix the workpiece to the table so that it always rests against the retaining plate. Use the supplied clamp to fi x the workpiece.
Fasten the clamp pin on one side of the table. Secure the pin by tightening the screw (XX). Adjust the height of the clamp arm and
secure it by tightening the screw (XXI). Place the workpiece on the table and fi x it by tightening the clamping disc (XXII).
After pressing the switch, allow the circular saw to reach the rated speed and only then start cutting. The switch does not have
a lock to secure it in any position. It is forbidden to fi rst apply the saw to the workpiece and then start the tool. This can jam or
damage the saw or cause damage to the workpiece. This can lead to injuries.
When resuming cutting, let the circular saw reach its rated speed and then guide it into the cut.
Do not overload the disc or overheat the carbide disc blades when cutting. When cutting, the circular saw should be guided with
a smooth motion, avoiding excessive pressure. The pressure to be exerted on the cutting head should not be greater than that
which is suffi cient to cut the workpiece. Avoid hitting the workpiece with the circular saw.
If the saw is blocked in the workpiece, immediately release the pressure on the tool switch, disconnect it from the power source,
and then unjam the saw.
Inspect the saw for any damage or deformation which may have occurred at the time of jamming and replace the saw with a new
one which is free from damage. Also check the cause of the jam, for example, that there are no metal parts in the workpiece which
could cause the saw to jam. Before starting work, remove the cause of the jamming.
Once you have fi nished cutting, remove the spinning saw from the cut and only then release the pressure on the switch. Wait
for the circular saw to stop completely. Disconnect the saw from the power supply by pulling the plug out of the socket and then
remove the workpiece from the table.
Proceed with maintenance after fi nishing work.
