SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work area a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁ ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk

of electric shock.

3. Personal safety a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your ﬁ nger on the switch or plugging

in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or spanner before turning the power tool on. A spanner or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in

personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use

of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

HEALTH ADVICE

3) Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head front to back through the full motion of a typical cut along the control arm (See ﬁ g. 28).

9. Adjusting cutting depth

The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was set at the factory. Check to see that the blade does not extend more than 6.35 mm below the table insert, and does not touch the control arm throat or any part of the base or table. If the maximum depth needs readjusting:

1) Loosen the stop knob (1) while moving the cutting head down until the blade extends just 6.35 mm below the table insert.

2) Adjust the stop knob (1) to touch the stop plate (2).

3) Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head front to back through the full motion of a cut along the control arm. If the blade touches the inside of the control arm, readjust the setting (See ﬁ g. 28).

OPERATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Before using your mitre saw be sure to read the instruction manual carefully.

Operating instructions

1. Know your mitre saw.

Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and labels afﬁ xed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the potential hazards speciﬁ c to this tool. To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts, do not lay out, assemble or set up work on the mitre saw.

2. Electrical connection

Your mitre saw has a precision-built electric motor and it should only be connected to a 230 V, 50Hz. Power supply (normal household current). Do not operate on direct current (DC). This large voltage drop will cause a loss of power that will overheat the motor. If your mitre saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, have a professional electrician check the power supply.

Warning: Avoid accidental starting.

Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the mitre saw into a power outlet.

3. Body and hand position

Warning: Never place hands near the

cutting area. Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the mitre saw will make cutting easier and safer. Keep children away. Keep all visitors at a safe distance from the mitre saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece. Don’t force the saw. It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

Starting a cut:

● Place hands at least 190.5 mm away from

the path of the blade – out of the “no-hands zone” (1).

● Clamp workpiece ﬁ rmly against the fence to prevent movement toward the blade.

● With the power switch OFF, bring the saw blade down to the workpiece to see the cutting path of the blade (See ﬁ g. 29).

Page 22

ERBAUER 216MM (8”) SLIDING MITRE SAW

● Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.

● Lower blade into workpiece with a ﬁ rm

downward motion.

Finishing a cut:

● Hold the cutting arm in the down position.

● Release trigger switch and wait for all

moving parts to stop before moving your hands and raising the cutting arm.

Before releasing jammed material:

● Release trigger switch.

● Wait for all moving parts to stop.

● Unplug the mitre saw.

4. Basic saw operations Warning: For your convenience, your

saw has a blade brake. The brake is

not a safety device. Never rely on it to replace the proper use of the guard on your saw. If the blade doesn’t stop within approximately 8 seconds, wait for the blade to stop, unplug the

saw and contact customer service.

To turn saw on

Push down the lock lever (1) and squeeze the trigger switch (2) to turn the mitre saw ON. Release the trigger switch to turn the saw OFF (See ﬁ g. 30). Note: Make the ON/OFF switch childproof. Insert a padlock, or chain with padlock, through the holes in the trigger switch, locking the tool’s switch, preventing children and other

unqualiﬁ ed users from turning the machine on.

5. Sliding carriage system

1) For chop cutting operations on small workpieces, slide the cutting head assembly completely toward the rear of the unit and tighten the carriage lock knob (1).

2) To cut wide boards up to 305 mm, the carriage lock knob must be loosened to allow the cutting head to slide freely (See ﬁ g. 31).

Before leaving the saw

● Never leave tool running unattended. Turn

power OFF. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

● Make workshop childproof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Store tool away from children and other unqualiﬁ ed users.

Warning: To avoid injury from materials

being thrown, always unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting, and remove small pieces of material from the table cavity.

6. Mitre cut

1) When a mitre cut is required, unlock the mitre table by turning the mitre handle (1) counterclockwise.

2) While holding the mitre handle, lift up on the positive stop locking lever (2).

3) Rotate the mitre table to the right or left with the mitre handle.

4) When the table is in the desired position, as shown on the mitre scale (3), release the positive stop locking lever and tighten the mitre handle. The table is now locked at the desired angle.

Positive stops are provided at

0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° (See ﬁ g. 32).

IMPORTANT

Always tighten the mitre table lock handle before performing every cutting operation.

7. Bevel cut

1) When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock handle (1) by turning it clockwise.

2) Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle, as shown on the bevel scale (2).

3) The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel. Tighten the bevel lock handle (1) to lock the cutting head in position. Positive stops are provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45° (See ﬁ g. 33)

. Note: When cutting at 45 degrees, ensure guard does not catch on work or base plate.

8. Compound cut

A compound cut is the combination of a mitre and a bevel cut simultaneously.

1) Loosen the bevel lock handle (1) and position the cutting head at the desired bevel position. Lock the bevel lock handle.

2) Loosen the mitre handle (2). Press down the positive stop locking lever (3) and position the table at the desired angle. Release the positive stop locking lever and lock the mitre handle

(See ﬁ g. 34)

9. Slide cutting wide boards up to 305 mm wide

Warning: To avoid injury:

● Never pull the cutting head assembly and

spinning blade toward you during the cut. The blade may try to climb up on the top of the workpiece, causing the cutting assembly and spinning blade to kick back, forcefully. The cutting head assembly should be drawn back completely then pushed forward when sawing.

● Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. This will help reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece.

To slide cut wide boards

1) Unlock the carriage lock handle (1) and allow the cutting head assembly to move freely.

2) Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the mitre angle and lock into position.

3) Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece.

4) Grasp the switch handle (2) and pull the carriage (3) forward until the centre of the saw blade is over the front of the workpiece (4).

5) Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.

6) When the saw reaches full speed, push the switch handle down, slowly, cutting through the leading edge of the workpiece.

7) Slowly move the switch handle toward the fence, completing the cut.

8) Release the trigger and allow the blade to stop spinning before allowing the cutting head to raise

(See ﬁ g. 35)

10. Cutting bowed material

A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the fence and secured with a clamping devise before cutting as shown. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the support of the fence. This will cause the blade to bind and could

result in personal injury

(See ﬁ g. 36)

11. Workpiece support and repetitive cutting using the stop plate

Long pieces need extension table support.

1) Loosen the knob (1) then slide the extension table to desired position and tighten the knob.

2) The stop plate is designed for use during repetitive cutting. Only use one stop plate at a time. Loosen the locking bolt (2), rotate the stop plate (3) to vertical position and retighten

the locking bolt

(See ﬁ g. 37)

12. Auxiliary wood fence

When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off pieces of one 25.4 mm or less, it is possible for the saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage or injury. To minimize this, an auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to your saw

(See ﬁ g. 38)

Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood fence. This fence is to be constructed of straight wood approximately

19.05 mm thick by 63.5 mm high by 457.2 mm long.

Attach the wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot.

Fig 36

Fig 37

Fig 38

blade slot

Page 26

ERBAUER 216MM (8”) SLIDING MITRE SAW

Check for interference between the wood fence and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary (See ﬁ g 39). Note: This auxiliary fence is used only with the saw blade in the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). The auxiliary wood fence must be removed when bevel cutting.

Cutting base molding

Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a compound mitre saw. The setup of the saw depends on molding characteristics and applications, as shown. Perform practice cuts on scrap material. To achieve best results:

1) Always make sure moldings rest ﬁ rmly against fence and table. Use hold-down or C-clamps, whenever possible, and place tape on the area being clamped to avoid marks.

2) Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making cut. Mark cut line directly on the tape.

3) Splintering typically happens due to wrong blade application and thinness of the material (See ﬁ g 40, 41). Note: Always perform a dry run cut so you can determine if the operation being attempted is possible before power is applied to the saw.

Cutting crown molding

Your compound mitre saw is suited for the difﬁ cult task of cutting crown molding. To ﬁ t properly, crown molding must be compoundmitreed with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces on a piece of crown molding that ﬁ t ﬂ at against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90°.

Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that ﬁ ts ﬂ at against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle (the section that ﬁ ts ﬂ at against the wall) of 38°. In order to accurately cut crown molding for a 90° inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back surface ﬂ at on the

saw table.

When setting the bevel and mitre angles for compound mitres, remember that the settings are interdependent – changing one changes the other, as well

(See ﬁ g. 41, 42)

MAINTENANCE

Note: This maintenance section is the best section for all the saws and should be used as a master for all the mitre saws when the following changes have been completed.

Danger: To avoid injury, never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.

Warning: To avoid ﬁ re or toxic reaction, never use Petrol, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the mitre saw.

Warning: For your safety, this saw is double-insulated. To avoid electrical shock, ﬁ re or injury, use only parts identical to those identiﬁ ed in the parts list. Reassemble exactly as the original assembly to avoid electrical shock.

Replacing carbon brushes

Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 6 mm length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, ﬁ rst unplug the saw. Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2). Remove the cap cautiously, because it is springloaded. Then pull out the brush and replace. Replace for the other side. To reassemble reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same hole the carbon part ﬁ ts into. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten. (See ﬁ g.43) Note: To reinstall the same brushes, ﬁ rst make sure the brushes go back in the way they came out. This will avoid a breakin period that reduces motor performance and increases wear.

Lower blade guard

Do not use the saw without the lower blade guard. The lower blade guard is attached to the saw for your protection. Should the lower guard become damaged, do not use the saw until the damaged guard has been replaced. Develop a regular check to make sure the lower guard is working properly. Clean the lower guard of any dust or buildup with a damp cloth.

Warning: Do not use solvents on the guard. They could make the plastic “cloudy” and brittle. Warning: When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the saw from the power source receptacle to avoid unexpected startup. Sawdust Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work table and base. This could cause difﬁ culty in the movement of the worktable when setting up a mitre cut. Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust. Warning: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to keep debris from blowing into eyes.

Lubrication

All the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufﬁ cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions; therefore, no further bearing lubrication is required. (See ﬁ g. 44) Lubricate the following as necessary: Chop pivot: Apply light machine oil to points indicated in illustration. Central pivot of plastic guard: Use light household oil (sewing machine oil ) on metalto-metal or metal-to-plastic guard contact areas as required for smooth, quiet operation.

Avoid excessive oil, to which sawdust will cling. Guard arm: (which actuates the lower guard

movement) may be oiled at the rear pivot, greased at ball bearing contact, and oiled where the guard arm actuates the acetyl roller of the lower guard, if the down chop motion is hard to start.
