SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, ﬁre 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 ﬂammable 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.

Unmodiﬁed 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 inﬂuence 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 ﬁnger 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.

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.

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 qualiﬁed repair person using only identical replacement parts.

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

Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and labels afﬁxed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the potential hazards speciﬁc 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, 50 Hz. 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 171 mm away from the path of the blade – out of the “no-hands zone” (1). (See ﬁg. 25)

●

Clamp workpiece ﬁrmly 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.

● Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.

● Lower blade into workpiece with a ﬁrm

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.

● If the blade doesn’t stop within 6 seconds,

unplug the saw and follow the instructions in TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section.

Before releasing jammed material:

● Release trigger switch.

● Wait for all moving parts to stop before

moving your hands and raising cutting arm.

● 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 6 seconds, wait for the blade to stop, unplug the saw and contact customer service.

5. To turn saw on

Push down the lock lever (3) and squeeze the trigger switch (1) to turn the mitre saw ON. Release the trigger switch to turn the saw OFF. (See ﬁg. 26)

Note: Make the ON/OFF switch childproof. Insert a padlock, or chain with padlock, through the holes (2) in the trigger switch, locking the tool’s switch, preventing children and other unauthorised users from turning the machine on.

Note: The mitre saw is equipped with an automatic blade brake. When the trigger switch is released, the electric blade brake will stop the blade within approximately 6 seconds.

Warning: To avoid injury, after completing a cut and releasing the trigger switch, allow the blade brake to activate and stop the blade before raising the cutting head.

Warning:

To avoid injury, check and

tighten the arbour bolt periodically.

6. Before leaving the saw

● Never leave tool running unattended. Turn

power OFF. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

● Make workshop child- proof. Lock the shop Disconnect master switches. Store tool away from children and other unqualiﬁed users.

7. 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, press down on the positive stop locking lever (2) to disengage the positive stop locking lever.

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 handle 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 ﬁg. 27)

Important:

ALWAYS TIGHTEN the mitre

table lock handle before cutting.

8. Bevel cut (FIG. 28)

1) When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock handle (1).

2) Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle as shown on the bevel scale (2). The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel.

3) Tighten the bevel lock handle (1) to lock the cutting head in position.

4) Positive stops are provided at 0° and 45°. (See ﬁg. 28) Note: When cutting at 45 degrees, ensure guard does not catch on work or base plate.

9. Compound cut

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

1) Loosen the bevel lock handle (1-Fig. 28) and position the cutting head at the desired bevel position. Lock the bevel lock handle.

2) Loosen the mitre table lock 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 ﬁg. 29)

10. Cutting bowed material

A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the fence and secured with a clamping device before cutting. 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 ﬁg. 30)

11. Workpiece support and repetitive cutting using the stop plate

Long pieces need extra support. The support should be placed under the workpiece. Keep your hand holding the workpiece positioned 171 mm or more away from the blade. The support must let the workpiece lay ﬂat on the work table during the cutting operation. Note: When mounted on a ﬂat surface, the mitre saw table is 83 mm high. (See in ﬁg. 31)

12. Auxilary wood fence

When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off pieces of 25 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. Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood fence. This fence is constructed of straight auxiliary wood approximately 19 mm thick by 64 mm high by 410 mm long. Attach the wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot. Check for interference between the wood fence and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary. (See ﬁg. 32)

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.

13. Cutting base moulding

Base mouldings and many other mouldings can be cut on a compound mitre saw. The setup of the saw depends on moulding characteristics and application, as shown. Perform practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best results:

1) Always make sure mouldings rest ﬁrmly 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 ﬁg. 33) 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.

14. Cutting crown moulding (Fig. 34,

35)

Your compound mitre saw is suited for the difﬁcult task of cutting crown moulding. To ﬁt properly, crown moulding must be compoundmitre ed with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces on a piece of crown moulding that ﬁt ﬂat against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when added together equal

exactly 90°

Most crown moulding has a top rear angle (the section that ﬁts ﬂat against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle (the section that ﬁts ﬂat against the wall) of 38°.

In order to accurately cut crown moulding for a 90° inside or outside corner, lay the

moulding with its broad back surface ﬂat 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.

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 ﬁre 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, ﬁre or injury, use only parts identical to those identiﬁed in the parts list. Reassemble exactly as the original assembly to avoid electrical shock.

1. 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, ﬁrst 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 ﬁts into. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten. (See ﬁg.36)

Fig 36

Note: To reinstall the same brushes, ﬁrst 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 difﬁculty 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 sufﬁcient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions; therefore, no further bearing lubrication is required. (See ﬁg. 37)

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.
