Unpacking (Fig. 2, 4, 5, 6)
♦ Remove the saw from the packing material carefully
using the carrying handle (m) and rear handle(aaa).
♦ Use the supplied blade wrench(i) to mount the rear
support (mm) to the back of base(g).
♦ Press down the operating handle (a) and pull out the
lock down pin (o), as shown.
♦ Gently release the downward pressure and allow the
arm to rise to its full height.
Bench Mounting (Fig. 7)
♦ Holes (j) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench
mounting. Always mount your saw firmly to prevent
movement. To enhance the portability, the tool can be
mounted to a piece of 15 mm or thinner plywood which
can then be clamped to your work support or moved to
other job sites and reclamped.
♦ When
mounting
plywood, make sure that the mounting screws
do not protrude from the bottom of the wood.
The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When
clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on
the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes
are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere
with the proper operation of the saw.
♦ To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the
mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven.
If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of
material under one saw foot until the saw is firm on the
mounting surface.
Mounting the Saw Blade (Fig. 8, 9, 10)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit
off and disconnect machine from power source
before installing and removing accessories,

WARNING! Be aware the saw blade shall be
replaced in the described way only. Only use
saw blades as specified under Technical Data.
WARNING! The guard bracket(ll) must be
of
returned to its original position and the guard
bracket screw(kk) tightened before activating
the saw.
WARNING! Failure to do so may allow the guard
to contact the spinning saw blade resulting in
damage to the saw and severe personal injury.
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If
readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other
reason is required, follow the steps below to adjust your
saw. Once made, these adjustments should remain
accurate.
Checking and Adjusting the Mitre Scale
(Fig. 11, 12, 13)
1. Loosen the mitre lock knob (e), depress the mitre detent

(s).
3. Place a square (tt) against the left side fence (v) and
blade (oo) (Fig. 11).
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade
teeth with the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
4. Tighten the mitre lock knob (e). Loose the fence clamping
knob (k), remove the left side fence (v) and right side
