stop the cutting head can cause it to be pulled downwards rapidly, creating the risk of injury.
TOOL ASSEMBLY
The product is delivered almost completely assembled, however, before starting work it is necessary to fi x the screw blocking
the rotation of the cutting head and possibly install the table clamp and/or work table extensions, depending on the type of work
to be done.
The table locking screw should be screwed into the hole in the arm of the work table (II), but should not be tightened as far as
possible, as this will block the rotation of the cutting head.
Screw in (XIII) the screw locking the lateral tilt of the cutting head as far as possible. It is recommended that the head is locked in
the zero position during the preparatory work. The manner of adjusting the angle has been described in detail in further sections
of this manual.
When cutting workpieces longer than the size of the work table, the table extensions must be attached. Slide the extension into
the holes in the side edge of the work table so that the curved part of the extension faces upwards, and then lock the extension
position with the screw (III).
When cutting workpieces much longer than the size of the work table with the extensions installed, external fi xing elements, e.g.
clamps, supports, vices, etc. should be used to securely and safely fi x the workpiece to the mitre saw table.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
Caution! All preparatory work must be carried out with the product disconnected from the power supply. The tool power cord plug
must be disconnected from the socket.
Activities before starting work
The tool must be attached at the workplace, to a work table, stand or similar workstation. All guards and safety devices must be
properly secured before starting the machine. Make sure that the circular saw can rotate freely. When working with wooden ma-
terial, pay attention to foreign elements, such as nails, screws, etc. Before starting the machine, make sure that all moving parts
can move smoothly over the full range and that the circular saw is securely fastened. Make sure that the power supply parameters
comply with the ones shown on the tool's rating plate before connecting the power cord plug to the power supply.
Place the mitre saw on a level and stable surface, for example on a workbench. The mounting height should be chosen according
to the height of the operator, so that the tool can be freely operated without reaching too far, while ensuring a stable and safe
posture of the operator.
The base of the work table has been equipped with holes for fi xing it to the fl oor. Use screws and nuts if necessary.
Circular saw installation and replacement
Caution! Disconnect the mitre saw from the power supply by removing the plug from the socket before installing or replacing the
circular saw.
When replacing the circular saw, use protective gloves to avoid being injured by the blade.
Lift the cutting head and loosen the screw, but do not unscrew it completely, holding the mounting guard (IV). Press and hold the
locking mechanism of the movable guard (V), and then move the guard of the circular saw away, as far as possible. The guard
should move the mounting guard away and remain in the open position when the pressure on the locking device is released (VI).
Press the spindle lock, then turn the key clockwise until the spindle is locked and cannot rotate (VII). After locking the disc rotation,
unscrew the disc fi xing screw. Remove the clamping disc and the circular saw (VIII).
Before installing a new circular saw, remove dirt and dust from the clamp. Attach the circular saw so that the direction of its rotation
corresponds to the direction of rotation shown by the arrow on the guard. Then install the clamping disc and, holding the spindle
lock, tighten the circular saw fi xing screw fi rmly and securely. Install the guards in the reverse order of disassembly.
After installation, check that the circular saw rotates freely, perpendicularly and at an angle of 45 degrees.
Caution! After changing the angle of the table, make sure that the circular saw or the cutting head does not come into contact with
obstacles during operation. Check whether the full range of the mitre saw operation can be used, without switching the tool on. If
necessary, make the required adjustments by removing obstacles.
Guidelines for using circular saws
Warning! Make sure that the permitted circular saw speed is equal to or higher than the mitre saw speed. Use of a circular saw
which does not meet the above conditions will cause the circular saw to fall apart during operation, which can cause serious injury.
The circular saw must be selected according to the workpiece. The higher the number of teeth, the higher the quality of the cut, it
is recommended to use a disc with 48 teeth to cut laminated boards and hard material. If the workpiece contains staples, nails or
other structural elements, circular saws intended for cutting structural timber should be used.
Only discs recommended by the manufacturer should be used: discs for cutting wood and wood-based materials with teeth made
