Original Instructions
Accessories (not shown):
• Hex Key (x2)
• Rear Stabiliser
• Rear Stabiliser Fittings

Intended Use

• Mains powered portable or bench-mounted power tool for cutting through wood and other
materials. Straight, bevel, mitre and compound (mitre+bevel) cuts. The included saw blade
is suitable for wood and man-made composite wood materials.

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing
or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Bench mounting
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to mount the saw to a bench or board. Although the saw can
be used without mounting to a bench or board there is a greater safety risk in use.
• Mount the saw to a level, horizontal bench or work table using bolts, washers and locking
nuts (not supplied) through the Bench Mounting Holes (10, 15, 21 & 28)
• DO NOT over-tighten or the base may cracked and damaged, or use bolts that are not a
good fit for the Bench Mounting Holes
• Alternatively, mount the saw on 13mm or thicker board, and clamp the board to the work
support; this makes it easy to re-locate the saw, clamping it to a work support wherever
needed
• When using a board it may be necessary to countersink the washers and nuts so the board
is level on the surface it is used on
CAUTION: Make sure the mounting surface is not warped as an uneven surface can cause
binding and inaccurate sawing
Fitting the rear stabiliser
• When the saw is not fitted to a bench or board, always fit the rear stabiliser into the two
Stabiliser Mounting Holes (29). The stabiliser helps prevent the saw from tipping in use. Use
the fittings provided to attach the stabiliser
Dust Extraction
• The Dust Bag (25) fits over the Dust Port (34). For most efficient operation, empty the dust
bag when it is no more than half full; this allows better air flow through the bag
• Optimal dust extraction is achieved by connecting a dust extraction system or vacuum
cleaner to the Dust Port. A third party adapter may be required.
Transportation
• When transporting the saw, only use the Carrying Handle (38) if the saw is detached from
a board or bench and no material is clamped to the base. When the saw is mounted to
another surface, move by holding the board or bench only and keep the tool upright. The
saw can be stored and transported with the cutting head lowered and secured by the
Latching Pin (36); however there is a small risk that vibration in transit could cause the
Latching Pin to move allowing the cutting head to rise
Fitting and removing the blade
WARNING: Never attempt to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the saw, as it might
come into contact with the blade guards. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer
blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle; it will prevent the blade screw from
properly securing the blade on the spindle. Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry unless
the saw blade is specifically designed for that material. Ensure any spacers and spindle rings
that may be required suit the spindle and the blade fitted.
WARNING: Never fit and use a blade that is visibly damaged, deformed or has dull or missing
teeth.
WARNING: Never fit and use a blade made from high speed steel (HSS).
IMPORTANT: Wear gloves when handling blades.
IMPORTANT: Even if the blade is pre-fitted, if this is the first use of the tool always check the
blade is securely fitted before use.
1. Ensure the cutting head is in its upper position
2. Disconnect the lower guard operating arm by removing the rotating blade guard screw
(Image I & II)
3. Press the Release Lever (3) and move the Rotating Blade Guard (22) up and into the
Fixed Blade Guard (27) (Image III)
4. Press the Spindle Lock and rotate the blade until the spindle locks
5. Use the supplied Hex Key to remove the Blade Securing Bolt (24) and blade flange
6. The mounting has a LH thread so rotate the hex key clockwise to unscrew the bolt
7. Move the saw blade to the left slightly to clear the mounting and remove from the
Fixed Blade Guard
