Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
off the tool and disconnect it from the power source before
attempting to move it, change accessories or make any
adjustments.
Warning! Never depress the spindle lock (31) button while the
blade is under power or coasting.

masonry or fiber cement product with this mitre saw.

Removing the blade

Unplug the saw.
u
Raise the arm to the upper position and push the guard
u
(14) up as far as possible.
Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw (13c) until
u
the bracket can be raised far enough to access the
blade screw (13a). Lower guard will remain raised due to
the position of the guard bracket screw as shown in
figure I.
Depress the spindle lock button (31) while carefully
u
rotating the saw blade by hand until the lock engages as
shown in figure J.
Keeping the button depressed, use the other hand and
u
the blade changing tool provided (30) to loosen the blade
screw (13a). (Turn clockwise, left-hand threads.)
Remove the blade screw (13a), outer clamp washer
u
(13d), blade (13) and blade adapter (13e), if used. The
inner clamp washer (13f) may be left on the spindle.
Installing a blade
Unplug the saw.
u
With the arm raised, the guard held open and the guard
u
bracket raised, place the blade on the spindle, onto the
blade adapter and against the inner blade clamp with the
teeth at the bottom of the blade pointing toward the back
of the saw.
Assemble the outer clamp washer onto the spindle.
u
Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock,
u
tighten the screw firmly with wrench provided (turn coun-
terclockwise, left-hand threads).
Adjusting the mitre angle (Fig. L)
Loosen the grip (9) by turning counterclockwise.
u
Use the mitre lock release (32) to move the rotary table
u
(11) to the position where the pointer (7) points to the
desired angle on the mitre scale (26), tighten the grip
clockwise.
The adjustable support foot (24) is to help keep the tool in
u
balance. After each mitre angle adjustment, you should
turn knob on the foot clockwise or counterclockwise until
its bottom touches the ground. There are two positions
depending on the depth of your work bench.
(Original instructions)
Cutting depth
If you want to cut a groove you can set the depth of cut using
the depth of cut screw (29) or the blade.
Turn the depth of cut screw (29) and fix with the counter
u
nut.
Fence adjustment
Before bevel cutting, make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the fence (12) when lowering and raising the handle
fully at any position and pulling or pushing the carriage all the
way at the lowest position. Before operating the tool, make
sure that the sliding fence is secured by the slide fince locking
screw (35) firmly.
Warning! When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding fence
to the left and secure. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a
part of the tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator.
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned central. However, when performing left
bevel cuts, set it to the left position if the tool head contacts it.
When bevel cutting operations are complete, don't forget to
return the sliding fence to the original position and secure it by
firmly tightening the slide fence locking screw (35).
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. M)
When tilting the carriage to the left, loosen the lever (2) at the
rear of the tool counterclockwise. Unlock the arm by pushing
the handle somewhat strongly in one direction only.
Tilt the saw blade until the pointer (25) points to the
u
desired angle on the bevel scale (27).
Tighten the lever (2) clockwise firmly to secure the arm.
u
Warning! When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the
handle fully. After changing the bevel angle, always secure the
arm by tightening the lever clockwise.
Warning! When tilting the saw blade, always be aware of the
weight of the head and make sure to avoid it crashing over.
N
Switch action (Fig. )
Caution! Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger (19) actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, move the safety release lever (20) to the
u
right with your index finger.
Press the switch trigger (19).
u
To stop the tool, release the switch trigger (19).
u
Warning! Never use tool without a fully operative switch
trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch is
HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be repaired before usage.
