• Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (54) to the zero position,
as shown in fig. G.
• With the mitre lever loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as
you rotate the mitre arm past zero.
• Observe the pointer (54) and mitre scale (6). If the pointer does not
indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (55), move the pointer to read
0° and tighten the screw.
Mitre lock/detent rod adjustment (fig. H)
If the base of the saw can be moved while the mitre lever (4) is locked,
the mitre lock/detent rod (56) must be adjusted.
• Unlock the mitre lever (4).
• Fully tighten the mitre lock/detent rod (56) using a screwdriver (57).
Then loosen the rod a quarter of a turn.
• Check that the table does not move when the lever (4) is locked at a
random (not preset) angle.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (fig. I1 - I4)
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (11).
• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten
the bevel clamp handle.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (51).
• Place a set square (52) on the table and up against the blade (47) (fig. I2).
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (11) and turn the vertical position
adjustment stop screw (28) in or out until the blade is at 90° to the
table as measured with the square.
• If the bevel pointer (58) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (10),
loosen the screw (59) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as
necessary.
Adjusting the fence (fig. J)
The upper part of the left side of the fence can be adjusted to the left to provide
clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 48° left. To adjust the fence (3):
• Loosen the plastic knob (30) and slide the fence to the left.
• Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance.
Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide
maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and down
movement of the arm.
• Tighten the knob securely.
The guide groove (60) can become clogged with sawdust. Use
a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide groove.
Overriding the bevel stops (fig. K)
The bevel stops facilitate the setting of the saw blade in the vertical
position and the 45° bevel position. By overriding the bevel stops, bevel
angles can be achieved from 2° right to 48° left.
• To override the bevel stops, first release the saw head and push it
slightly to the left, then pull out the override knob (27) and turn it into the
override position (62). The override knob automatically clicks in place.
• Set the required bevel angle and secure the head in this position.
• To discontinue the override, turn the override knob (27) back into the
bevel stop position (61).
Intermediate bevel stop
The intermediate bevel angle is preset at 33.85°, enabling a quick setting
for the cutting of crown moulding.
• To activate the intermediate bevel stop, turn the override knob (27) into
the intermediate bevel stop position (63).

Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. A1, A2 & I5)
• Make sure the override knob (27) is located in the bevel stop position.
• Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (30) and slide the upper part
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (11) and move the saw head to the left.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the stopscrew (9) in or out as necessary until the pointer (58)
Checking and adjusting the intermediate bevel angle (fig. A1, A2, & I6)
• Make sure the override knob (27) is located in the intermediate bevel
• Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (30) and slide the upper part
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (11) and move the saw head to the left.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the stopscrew (8) in or out as necessary until the pointer (58)
Rail guide adjustment (fig. L)
• Regularly check the rails for clearance.
• To reduce clearance, gradually rotate the set screw (64) clockwise
Instructions for use
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Prior to operation:
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
• Secure the workpiece.
• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, these
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf
Switching on and off (fig. M)
A hole (65) is provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the
tool.
• To run the tool, press the on/off switch (1).
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
Setting the variable speed (fig. M)
The speed control dial (19) can be used for advance setting of the required
range of speed.
• Turn the dial button (19) to the desired range, which is indicated by a
