Dust extraction
• Optimal dust extraction is achieved by connecting a dust extraction system or vacuum
cleaner to the Dust Port (4). The Dust Port Adaptor (5) may be required to help connect the
dust extraction system to the Dust Port
• The Dust Bag (6) fits on to the Dust Port Adaptor, which is then inserted into the Dust Port
• For efficient Dust Bag operation, empty the bag when it is no more than half full, which
allows better air flow through the Dust Bag
Transportation
• When transporting or storing the saw, ensure the cutting head is latched down with the
Cutting Head Latching Pin (9) and all bevel and mitre locks are in place
• Only use the Front Carry Handle (3) and Rear Carry Handle (46) to transport the saw
• If the saw is mounted to a bench or support, ensure the fixings are removed and the saw
is free to move
• If the saw is mounted to a portable board, ensure the board is unclamped from the
workbench or support so the saw is free to move
• When moving or transporting the saw, always keep it upright
Fitting & removing the blade
WARNING: Never fit and use a blade that is visibly damaged, deformed or has dull or
missing teeth.
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the tool is disconnected from mains power when removing
and replacing blades or accessories on the saw.
WARNING: Wear gloves when handling blades.
WARNING: Never attempt to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the saw, because it
might come into contact with the blade guards. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the
outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle; this will prevent the blade screw
from properly securing the blade on the spindle.
WARNING: Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry unless the saw blade is specifically
designed for that material and any dust or swarf can be correctly and safely removed in use.
WARNING: Ensure any spacers and spindle rings that may be required are provided by the
manufacturer of the blade or confirmed as compatible.
IMPORTANT: Even if the blade is pre-fitted, if this is the first use of the tool always check the
blade is securely fitted before use.
Note: Cutter/cutting head is a description of the section of the tool incorporating the motor,
blade assembly and pivoting arm. On a sliding mitre saw it is the section that traverses the
pole arm or arms.
To remove a blade:
1. Rotate the Blade Guard (33) up and away (Fig. II) (Image F)
2. Loosen the Phillips head screw on the Blade Cover (44) (Fig. II) then lift the cover up
and away
3. Press and hold the Spindle Lock Button (Fig. IV)
4. Using the 6mm Hex Key (51), loosen the arbor bolt (Fig. III) by rotating the key clockwise:
5. Remove the Blade (34) and components (Fig. V)
Replacing a blade:
1. After removing the existing Blade (34) (see steps 1–5 above), insert the replacement Blade
and replace the arbor bolt with all components according to Fig. V
Note: Ensure the Blade is installed in the correct rotational direction (Fig. III)
2. Press and hold the Spindle Lock Button (Fig. IV)
3. Using the 6mm Hex Key (51), tighten the arbor bolt (Fig. III) by rotating the key
anti-clockwise:
GB
4. Release the Spindle Lock Button; ensure the Blade rotates freely and straight without
wobbling or sideways movement
5. Replace the Blade Cover (44) and tighten the Phillips head screw (Fig. II)
6. Carefully lower the Blade Guard (33)
Note: After installing a Blade, always run the saw without load for a short time before use, to
make sure the blade is rotating and operating correctly. If there are any problems, immediately
stop the saw, disconnect from the mains power, and amend the problem.

Depth adjustment
The mitre saw is fitted with a Master Depth Adjustment (52) and a user depth adjustment
(Image G).
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the saw is disconnected from mains power before making any
adjustments to angles, bevels, or plunge depths.
To adjust the depth of cut typically for trench cuts:
1. Use a small workpiece with the required depth marked in pencil on the side
2. Set up the cutter head so you can control the height of the blade with the Operating Handle
(1) as per normal operation
3. Flip down the Depth Stop Plate (10)(Image H)
4. Adjust the main knob on the Depth Stop (8) to the desired blade plunge depth
5. Lock the Depth Stop with the micro adjuster (Image I)
6. The Blade (34) will now only plunge to the set depth
7. To have the full plunge depth of the Blade, flip up the Depth Stop Plate; to continue using
the set depth, flip down the Depth Stop Plate again
IMPORTANT: Adjusting the master depth should never be done for trench cuts. Use the Depth
Stop with the Depth Stop Plate instead.
• The Master Depth Adjustment (52) should only be adjusted with extreme caution; if set
incorrectly the Blade (34) may contact the bottom of the base, ultimately damaging the
Blade and the tool
To alter the Master Depth Adjustment (typically fine adjustment after a blade change):
1. Loosen the micro adjustment nut on the Master Depth Adjustment (52)
2. For a deeper plunge depth, loosen the hex bolt
3. For a shallower plunge depth, tighten the hex bolt, which will add more of the bolt to the
underside of the fixing
4. Once the new master depth has been set with the hex bolt, tighten the micro adjustment
nut to lock the setting
Adjusting the mitre angle
The Mitre Lock (27) is used to lock the Mitre Table (23) at the desired mitre angle. The mitre
saw cuts from 0° to 55° both left and right.
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the saw is disconnected from mains power before making any
adjustments to angles, bevels, or plunge depths.
To adjust the mitre angle:
1. If locked, lift the Mitre Lock (27) (Image J) to release
2. Press and hold the Mitre Select Button (28) then adjust the main channel left or right to the
required mitre angle (Image K), using the Mitre Angle Indicator (40) on the Mitre Gauge (24)
as a guide
3. Once the mitre angle has been selected, lock the main channel by pressing down on the
Mitre Lock (Image L)
WARNING: BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS, ensure the Mitre Lock is always applied. Failure
to do so could result in the Mitre Table (23) moving during the cut and could cause serious
personal injury.
Adjusting the bevel angle
The saw blade can be set at a desired bevel angle, both left and right, from 0° to 45°.
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the saw is disconnected from mains power before making any
adjustments to angles, bevels, or plunge depths.
To set the bevel angle:
1. Ensure the Mitre Lock (27) is locked
2. Push in the bottom of the Bevel Angle Latch Lock (29)(Image M), then lift the Bevel Angle
Latch (30) (Image N)
3. Pull out the Bevel Angle Locking Pin (13) and turn it 90° and rest the side pins on the edges
of the channel (Image O)
4. Hold the Front Carry Handle (3) and tilt the cutting head left or right, guided by the Bevel
Angle Indicator (11) and Bevel Angle Gauge (12), until the Blade (34) is at the required
bevel angle
5. Pull out the Bevel Angle Locking Pin and turn back 90° then rest the side pins in
the channel
6. Partly push down on the Bevel Angle Latch until there is resistance, then press the Bevel
Angle Latch Lock button out at the bottom (Image P)
7. Push the Bevel Angle Latch Down to the locked position (Image Q)
WARNING: BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS, ensure the Bevel Angle Latch (30) is in the locked
down position and the Bevel Angle Locking Pin (13) is in the locked position with the side pins
in the channel. Failure to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and could
cause serious personal injury.
