6. Installing the dust bag and vise (Fig. 1)
Install the dust bag onto the dust port on the miter saw.
Fit the connecting tube of dust bag and the dust port
together.
To empty the dust bag, pull out the dust bag assembly
from dust port. Open zipper on underside of bag and
empty into waste container. Check frequently and
empty the dust bag before it gets full.
NOTE
The dust bag should be angled toward the right side
of the saw for best results. This will also avoid any
interference during the saw operation.
CAUTION
Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and
the lower guard from becoming clogged.
Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal
during bevel cutting.
WARNING
Do not use this saw to cut and/or sand metals. the
hot chips or sparks may ignite saw dust from the bag
material.
(Attach the vise assembly as shown in Fig. 1 and
Fig. 30.)
7. Installation (Fig. 5)
Ensure that the machine is always fi xed to bench.
Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench.
Select 8 mm diameter bolts suitable in length for the
thickness of the work bench.
Bolt length should be at least 40 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8 mm × 65 mm bolts for a 25 mm thick
work bench.
8. Installing the support rod ass'y (Fig. 6)
The support rod ass'y attached to the rear of the base
helps stabilize the power tool.
Insert one support rod ass'y into the hole located at the
rear of the base and push it in as far as it will go.
Thread the 5 mm screw into the hole next to the mounting
hold.
Firmly tighten the 5 mm screw with a screwdriver.
Repeat the above steps for installing the other support
rod ass'y.
9. Check the lower guard for proper operation
Lower guard is designed to protect the operator from
coming into contact with the saw blade during operation
of the tool.
Always check that the lower guard moves smoothly and
covers the saw blade properly.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the lower
guard does not function smoothly.
10. 90° (0°) Bevel adjustment
WARNING
To ensure accurate cuts, alignment should be checked
and adjustments made prior to use.
(1) Loosen bevel lock handle by lifting it up and tilting the
cutting arm while pushing in the set pin (A) against the
0° bevel stop, please refer Fig. 7-a and 7-b. Tighten the
bevel lock handle.
(2) Place a combination square on the miter table with the
ruler against the table and the heel of the square against
the saw blade as show in Fig. 7-a.
(3) If the blade is not 0° to the miter table, loosen the three
adjustment bolts at the rear of the unit with a 4 mm hex
spanner, please refer Fig. 7-c. Unlock the bevel lock
handle and adjust the cutting arm to zero degrees to
the table. After alignment is achieved, tighten the three
adjustment bolts and press down on the bevel lock
handle to secure the cutting head.
11. 90° Indicator (For bevel scale) adjustment (Fig. 7-b)
(1) When the blade is exactly 90° (0°) to the table, loosen
the bevel pointer screw using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
(2) Adjust Indicator to the "0" mark on the bevel scale and
retighten the screw.
12. 45° Left bevel adjustment
(1) Fully extend the sub fence (B) completely to the left, and
then pull the set pin (A) towards the front of the machine.
NOTE
When retracting the set pin (A), it may be necessary to
shift the miter saw upper arm assembly to the left/right to
release the holding pressure.
(2) Loosen the bevel lock handle and tilt the gear case
completely to the left.
(3) Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is
45° to the table.
(4) To adjust, tilt the gear case to 0°, loosen the locknut, and
turn the bolt in or out to increase or decrease the angle
as shown in Fig. 8.
(5) Tilt the gear case back to the left, and recheck alignment.
(6) Repeat steps until the blade is 45° to the table. Once
alignment is achieved, tighten locknut and bevel lock
handle when alignment is achieved.
13. 45° Right bevel adjustment
(1) Set the miter angle to 0°. Fully extend the sub fence
(A) completely to the right, and then pull the set pin (A)
towards the front of the machine.
NOTE
When retracting the set pin (A), it may be necessary to
shift the mitre saw upper arm assembly to the left/right to
release the holding pressure.
(2) Loosen the bevel lock handle and tilt the gear case
completely to the right.
(3) Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is
45° to the table.
(4) To adjust, tilt the gear case to 0°, loosen the locknut, and
turn the bolt in or out to increase or decrease the angle
as shown in Fig. 9.
(5) Tilt the cutting arm back to the right, and recheck
alignment.
(6) Repeat steps until the blade is 45° to the table. Once
alignment is achieved, tighten locknut and bevel lock
handle when alignment is achieved.
14. 33.9° Left and right bevel adjustment
(1) Set the mitre angle to 0°. Fully extend both sub fences
(A, B).
(2) Loosen the bevel lock handle, and tilt gear case to the
33.9° right bevel positive stop by pushing on the set pin
(A) towards the rear of the machine.
(3) Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is
33.9° to the table.
(4) To adjust, turn the hex screw in or out with a 3 mm
spanner until the blade is 33.9° to the table.
(5) Repeat the above steps and turn the hex screw for the
33.9° left bevel adjustment.
15. Miter angle adjustment
The slide compound miter saw scale can be easily read,
showing miter angles from 0° to 48° to the left and right.
The miter saw table has nine of the most common angle
settings with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°,
and 45°. These positive stops position the blade at the
desired angle quickly and accurately. Follow the process
below for quickest and most accurate adjustments.
Adjusting miter angles:(Fig. 10)
(1) Lift up on the miter lock handle to unlock the table.
(2) Move the table while pressing down on the positive
stop lock button to align the pointer to the desired
degree measurement.
(3) Lock the table into position by pressing down on the
miter lock handle.
Indicator (For miter scale) adjustment:
(1) Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
(2) Loosen the screw that holds the Indicator (For miter
scale) with a Phillips screwdriver.
