Assembly for mitre saw mode
Mounting the under-table guard (fi g. E)
The under-table guard (63) is fi tted to the top of the saw bench table.
• Place the two fasteners on the left of the guard into the slots (64) on
the left of the blade slot (65). Turn the plastic screws counterclockwise.
• Place the guard fl at on the table and press the fastener in the slot (66)
on the right of the blade slot. Turn the plastic screw counterclockwise.
• To remove, turn the screws clockwise and remove the guard.
Turning the sawhead and table over (fi g. F1 - F4)
• Withhold the saw table (19) with one hand and push the table release
lever (2) to the right (fi g. F1).
• Push the table downwards at the front (fi g. F2) and swing it over
completely until the motor assembly is uppermost and the plate (67)
engages in the table locking device (68) (fi g. F3).
• Push the release lever (69) to the rear whilst holding down the head
until the spring-loaded bearing unit (70) can be lifted out of its seating
(fi g. F4).
• Flip the bearing unit up.
• Holding the head fi rmly, allow the spring pressure to take the head
upwards into its rest position.
Mounting the saw blade (fi g. G1 - G4)
The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be

Always change blades with the machine in mitre saw mode.
The maximum diameter blade that can be fi tted is 305 mm.
The minimum diameter is 300 mm.
• Depress the head lock up release lever (9) to release the lower guard (8),
then raise the lower guard as far as possible (fi g. G1).
• Loosen the guard bracket screw (71) suffi ciently to allow the guard
bracket (72) to be raised to permit access to the blade locking screw
(73) (fi g. G2).
• With the lower guard held in the raised position by the guard bracket
screw (71) depress the spindle lock button (74) (fi g. G1) with one hand,
then use the supplied blade spanner in the other hand to loosen the

• Install the saw blade (76) onto the shoulder (77) provided on the inside
arbor collar (78), making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the
blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away from the operator).
• Replace the outer arbor collar.
• Tighten the blade locking screw (73) by turning counter-clockwise while
holding the spindle lock engaged with your other hand.
• Move the guard bracket (72) down so that it fully covers the blade
locking screw (73) (fi g. G2).
• Tighten the guard bracket screw (71)
Never press the spindle lock while the blade is rotating.
Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and fi rmly tighten the
guard bracket screws after installing the blade.
Adjustments for mitre saw mode
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 blade to the fence (fi g. H1 - H3)
• Loosen the mitre knob (79) and depress the mitre latch (80) to release
the rotating table (5) (fi g. H1).
• Swing the rotating table until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.
Do not tighten the knob.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (81).
• Place a square (82) against the left side (7) of the fence and blade (76)
(fi g. H2).
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screws (83) (fi g. H3) and move the scale/rotating table
assembly left or right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured
with the square (fi g. H2).
• Retighten the screws (83) (fi g. H3). Pay no attention to the reading of
the mitre pointer at this point.
Adjusting the mitre pointer (fi g. H1 & H4)
• Loosen the mitre knob (79) and depress the mitre latch (80) to release
the rotating table (5) (fi g. H1).
• With the mitre knob loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as
you rotate the mitre arm past zero.
• Observe the pointer (84) and mitre scale (85) (fi g. H4). If the pointer
does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (86), move the pointer
to read 0° and tighten the screw.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (fi g. I1 - I3)
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (17) (fi g. I1).
• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten
the bevel clamp handle.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (81).
• Place a set square (82) on the table and up against the blade (76) (fi g. I2).
