SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING MACHINERY
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their
operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably
lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions
are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to
property, may result.
1. READ and BECOME FAMILIAR with the entire operating manual. Learn the machines’ applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
2. EARTH ALL MACHINES. If the machine is equipped with three-pin plug, it should be plugged into a three-pin electrical socket. Never remove the earth pin.
3. ALWAYS ensure that ADEQUATE LIGHTING is available. A minimum intensity of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not be working in your own shadow.
4. CHECK for DAMAGE. Before using the machine, any damaged part, such as a guard etc., should be checked to ensure that it will operate properly, and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition that may affect the machines’ operation. Any damage should be properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT USE the machine. Consult your local dealer.
5. DISCONNECT the MACHINE from the power supply before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, etc.
6. KEEP GUARDS in place and in working order.
7. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, manufactured to the latest European Safety Standards. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
8. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
9. ALWAYS WEAR EAR PROTECTORS/DEFENDERS as this machine generates considerable noise which can be in excess of 97dBA.
10. DON’T FORCE the machine. It will do a better and safer job at the rate for which it was designed.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
for MITRE SAWS
1. Wear safety goggles as protection against flying wood chips and saw dust. In many cases, a full face shield is even better protection. A dust mask is also recommended to keep saw dust out of your lungs.
2. Use a solid wood workbench which will not move under load.
3. This saw is for indoor, DIY or medium trade use only.
4. Clear the work table of all objects except the workpiece (tools, scraps, rulers etc.) before switching on the saw.
5. Keep your fingers well away from the blade.
6. Switch off the saw, and make sure the blade has come to a complete stop before clearing sawdust or off-cuts from the table.
7. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be sawn.
8. Set up the machine and make all adjustments with the power OFF, and disconnected from the supply.
9. DO NOT operate the machine with the guards removed. They must all be in place and securely fastened when performing any operation.
10. Use ONLY approved replacement saw blades. Contact your local CLARKE dealer for advice. The use of inferior blades may increase the risk of injury.
11. DO NOT saw any material that does not have a flat surface on which to bear.
12. This machine is designed for cutting wood. DO NOT use for cutting metal, plastics or masonry.
13. Do Not force the blade, lower it gently into the work.
14. Ensure you have complete control of the Cutting Head at all times. When a cut is completed, return it to its uppermost position gently. DO NOT allow it to snap back heavily under spring pressure.
15. Always clamp the work to the table...DO NOT perform freehand operations.
16. Ensure that the portion of the workpiece being cut bears firmly against the back fence.
17. Provide adequate support for long workpieces.
18. Never use solvents for cleaning plastic parts as this could cause damage to the material. A soft damp cloth only is required.

FEATURES
As its’ name implies, the machine is a Bevel/Mitre Saw, capable of straight cross cutting, and cutting bevels and mitres, or a combination of the two.
The main arm, or Cutting Head, carries the motor and the tungsten carbide saw blade. The head, complete with table, is allowed to swivel to produce mitre cuts and the head may also tilt to the left to produce bevel cuts. A combination of swivelling head and tilting head will also produce compound mitres
The table, with head, is designed to swivel up to 45 degrees in either direction and is provided with positive stops at 90, 60, 45 and 22.5 degrees.
The maximum sizes of wood that may be cut in any of these processes is given in the Specifications on page 3.
A dust extraction outlet is provided at the rear of the machine, on to which the dust bag (supplied) is fitted. If necessary, hose from a vacuum cleaner may be attached to provide fast and efficient removal of sawdust. The vacuum cleaner may be used continuously or intermittently depending upon your requirements.
The blade drive shaft has a 16mm diameter. A 60T TCT blade is provided with a bore of 30mm. A reducer bush is therefore used, and one spare is provided.
This saw is not designed for cutting metal, plastics or masonry.
To transport the saw, simply pick it up using the carry handle on top of the head.
NOTE: The cutting head must be in its lower position as shown below, locked in position using the Head Locking Pin.
A saw blade spindle locking lever is provided - see Fig.3, used in order to remove the saw blade. WARNING! NEVER touch this lever when the saw is operating.
Fig.3

ASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION.
The saw is fully assembled and adjusted at the factory. On receipt inspect the machine to ensure that all parts are accounted for and that no damage was incurred during transit.
Loose items are:
1 x socket spanner: 1 x spare set of carbon brushes.
1 x spare blade bore reducer bush. 1 x plastic 90/45O template.
1 x dust bag 1 x work clamp with support bar
1 x rear support with nut and bolt 2 x work supports
Any deficiency or damage should be reported to your CLARKE dealer immediately.
Mount the machine on a firm solid base that will not move under load. Ensure there is an appropriate electrical supply, and adequate lighting, so that you will not be working in your own shadow.
Four holes are provided, one at each corner of the base, so that the machine may be bolted permanently to a workbench for added stability, using 8mm bolts (not provided). Alternatively it may be bolted to a piece of plywood with a thickness of 16mm (5/8”).
If not bolted to a workbench, the rear support must be fitted - see Figs 1 and 2. A single bolt secures the support to the rear of the base housing.
The Cutting Head is locked in its lower position for transit purposes. To release it, pull out the Head Locking Pin - see Fig 3 (It may be necessary to apply slight downward pressure to the head in order to do so), and allow the head to rise to its upper position gently, under control.
The head will lock in its upper position, and is prevented from being lowered until the Safety Lever (see Fig 2) is pushed to one side.
OPERATION. (Ref Fig.4)
A. Cross Cutting. (at 90°)
Set the table at 0 degrees as shown on the scale at the front of the table. To do this, firstly unscrew the large table knob a few turns, then press down on the table locking lever - see Fig.3, and turn the table, using the large table knob, until it clicks into place.
To secure the table, screw in the table knob fully.
Set the work in place with the left end firmly clamped against the table and back fence.
It is important to ensure that one end of the workpiece is completely free to move i.e. NOT clamped or held in any way. This will normally be the off-cut or shorter end.
10
Page 11
NOTE: If the workpiece is not entirely straight, ensure that the portion at either side of the intended cut rests firmly against the table and back fence.
When satisfied, make a final check to ensure that all safety precautions are being complied with, then pull and hold the trigger and allow the blade to reach full speed. If any unusual sounds or vibrations occur, release the starter switch immediately and investigate the cause.
When satisfied, push the Safety Lever to one side with your thumb or forefinger and gently lower the head so that the blade makes contact with the workpiece. Do not force the blade, a light pressure is all that is required.
You will notice that to provide maximum safety, the blade is not exposed at any time, and the guard rises automatically as the blade is lowered. Nevertheless, NEVER treat the machine with indifference, and NEVER be casual with your approach.
To switch off, release the trigger whilst still maintaining full control of the head. NEVER allow the head to spring upwards - always maintain control. Wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the workpiece, off-cuts etc.
B. Mitre Cutting
This is a cross cutting operation, except that the saw blade is set at an angle to the work, but remains perpendicular to the table. This is achieved by mounting the complete head assembly on a table which is free to rotate by up to 45° in either direction .
To set the required mitre angle, unscrew the table knob a few turns, then depress the table locking lever and rotate the table, with the head and saw blade, to the desired position, using the large table knob, lining up the angle on the scale with the pointer. Note that the table will lock in position in the 0O, 22.5O, 30O and 45O positions. The procedure for cutting is the same as that for cross cutting.
To secure the table, screw in the table knob.
Fig.4
11
Page 12
C. Straight Bevel Cutting
As with Mitre Cutting, this is a cross cutting operation, except that the blade is not perpendicular to the table, (see fig. 5).
Ensure the table is set to 0O, and is locked in place using the table knob.
The bevel adjuster is factory set so that when the head is tilted to its fullest extent the blade will cut a perfect 45° bevel.
If however you require any other angle, you should proceed as follows:
Cut a mitre of the required angle, on a spare piece of wood, and use this as a template for your bevel cut.
Fig.6
Slacken off the bevel locking lever, and swing the head to the side. Lower the arm, and bring your template up to the saw blade. When satisfied that the edge of template and blade are parallel, lock the head in position with locking lever. Your angle is now set.
The procedure for cutting is the same as
that for cross cutting....press trigger, wait
for full speed to develop, push safety lever to one side, then lower the blade to the workpiece.
Fig.5
D. Compound Mitre and Bevel Cutting.
Having determined the angles you require, firstly set the bevel angle, using the procedure described above, and then the mitre angle.
NOTE: Compound mitre and bevel cuts, at a full 45°, can only be made when the head is turned to the left.
The procedure for cutting is the same as that for cross cutting.

MAINTENANCE
1. General
The machine is maintenance free, except for changing the saw blade when necessary, maintaining adjustments, and ensuring that after use, you clean away any sawdust or wood chips, with a low pressure air line or brush, paying particular attention to the motor air vents which should be kept clear at all times.
Should the motor not function normally, it is possible that it has become clogged with saw dust, in which case, it will be necessary to disassemble the motor in order to clean the various components. Contact your CLARKE dealer for advice.
2. Changing the Saw Blade
IMPORTANT: Exercise extreme care when handling the saw blade. The tips are extremely sharp, and careless handling could result in severe personal injury.
Fig.8
1. With the machine disconnected from the mains supply, and the cutting head in the raised position, undo and remove the screw securing the link arm attached to the clear plastic blade guard, indicated in Fig.8.
Fig.9
3. Hold the blade guard in this position whilst
slackening off the screw, indicated, sufficient for the cover to become disengaged - note the slotted hole. It is not necessary to remove the screw.
13
2. Move the safety lever to one side to allow the clear plastic blade guard to be pulled around the saw blade as shown in Fig.9.
Page 14
4. Allow the blade guard to fully reassert, as shown in Fig.10, then unscrew and remove the second cover screw, as shown.
This will allow the complete blade guard with centre hub and linkage to be carefully pulled from the head.
Fig.10
5. Lower the saw head and lock in place
Fig.11
with the locking pin
6. With the clear plastic blade guard removed, hold down the spindle locking lever, arrowed in Fig. 11, and undo, but do not remove the saw blade centre screw, using the box spanner supplied, by turning CLOCKWISE .i.e. The screw
has a left hand thread.
WARNING! NEVER push IN the Spindle Locking Lever with the motor running
7. Pull out the head locking pin and allow the saw head to rise, under control, then unscrew and remove the blade centre bolt. Finally, pull off the outer flange followed by the saw blade.
NOTE: You should take this opportunity to thoroughly clean parts previously inaccessible.
By removing the collar, it is possible to use blades with a 16mm bore.
8. Replace the blade, ensuring it is of the correct bore, or, where necessary a collar is used to ensure it is a perfect fit on the shaft. Ensure also that all parts are perfectly clean and the blades’ teeth point down at the front.
Additionally, the blade MUST be rated with a maximum speed greater that 4850RPM
Please note that spare blades are available from Clarke International. Please see your Clarke dealer.
Replace the outer flange and screw in the centre bolt, remembering it has a left hand thread - i.e. turn anticlockwise to tighten.
9. Replace the clear plastic blade guard in reverse order to that when disassembling.
14
Page 15
3. Carbon Brushes Replacement
A spare pair of carbon brushes are supplied with the machine. Should it become necessary to change these, evidenced by erratic performance, then simply unscrew the brush holder plugs, ensuring the machine is disconnected from the mains supply, and pull out the worn brushes. Replace with new brushes, and screw in the plug, taking care not to cross thread it.
Fig.12
4. Head Adjustments
If you find that the cross cut is not entirely square, it will be necessary to adjust the head using the 90° adjuster screw shown in Fig. 13.
To do this, slacken off the bevel locking lever, then lower the arm and lock in place with the head locking knob.
Place a small square on the table, and bring the square up to the blade to test for accuracy.
Should any adjustment be required, slacken off the 90° adjuster screw lock nut and screw the adjuster in or out, as necessary, whilst holding the head firmly against the stop. Tighten the securing nut when the head is exactly perpendicular.
Similarly should the 45° stop require adjusting, use a 45° template up against the saw blade to set the adjuster to the correct position.
