Fitting a Mains Plug to 115 V Units
(U.K. and Ireland Only)
The plug should be fitted by a competent person. If you are in doubt,
contact an authorised Berner repair agent or a qualified electrician.
The plug fitted should comply with BS EN 60309 (BS4343) 16 Amps,
earthing contact position 4h.
Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core extension cable
suitable for the power input of this tool (see Technical Data).The minimum
conductor size is 1.5 mm ; the maximum length is 30 m.

When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups, or when making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the
OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Unpacking
Remove the saw from the packaging material carefully.
Storing the Fastener Tools (fi g. 2)
The following tools are supplied with the machine:
1 T30 star wrench (gg)
1 T40 star wrench (hh)
• Take care to store the tools each time after they have been used in
assembly or adjustment.
Bench Mounting (fi g. 1)
• Holes (q) are provided in all four feet (r) to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes
of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both. Bolts with a
diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length are suggested. Always mount
your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the portability, the
tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or thicker plywood which
can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
• When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the
mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood. The
plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to
any work surface, clamp only on the feet (r) where the mounting screw
holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the
proper operation of the saw.
• To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not
warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a
thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is firm on the
mounting surface.
Mounting the Upper Blade Guard (fi g. 5A, 5B)
The upper blade guard (y) is designed to be quickly and easily attached to
the riving knife (x) once the machine has been set up for saw bench mode.
1. Loosen the blade guard bolt (ll) and leave the blade guard nut (mm) in
the hexagonal pocket.
2. Holding the guard horizontally, align the slot in the rear of the guard with
the riving knife.
3. Lower the guard over the riving knife, making sure the shaft of the bolt
enters the recess.
4. Insert bolt into the hole and tighten with the T30 star wrench. The teeth
of a new blade are very sharp and can be dangerous.
5. Do not overtighten. Upper blade guard must easily drop down over the
guard.

Clamping the Workpiece (fi g. 17A, 17B)
WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure
before a cut may become unbalanced after a cut is completed.
An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the saw is
attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut
that may become unbalanced, properly support the workpiece
and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable surface. Personal
injury may occur.
WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the
base of the saw whenever the clamp is used. Always clamp the
workpiece to the base of the saw – not to any other part of the
work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of
the base of the saw.
CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and
reduce the risk of workpiece damage and personal injury, if your
hands are required to be within 160 mm of the blade during the
cut.
Use the material clamp (a14) provided with your saw. Other aids such as
spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes
and shapes of material. The left or right fence will slide from side to side to
aid in clamping.
TO INSTALL CLAMP
1. Insert it into the hole behind the fence. The clamp should be facing
toward the back of the mitre saw. Ensure the groove on the clamp rod
is fully inserted into the base of the mitre saw. If the groove is visible, the
clamp will not be secure.
2. Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the mitre saw.
3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use the fine
adjust knob to firmly clamp the workpiece.
NOTE: Place the clamp on the right side of the base when beveling.
ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO
CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE CLAMP DOES NOT
INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.
Changing the Saw Blade (fi g. 1, 2, 6A–6C)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the
OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can
be dangerous.
WARNING: After mounting or replacing the blade, always
check that the blade is fully covered by the guard.
WARNING! Be aware the saw blade shall be replaced in the
described way only. Only use saw blades as specified under
Technical Data;
IMPORTANT: The saw blade must be in its highest position to install a new
blade. Refer to Changing from Saw Bench to Mitre Saw Mode.
1. Press in and hold spindle lock button (ff) with right hand.
2. With your left hand, use the T40 star wrench to rotate and lock saw
blade into position.
NOTE: The blade locking screw has a left-handed thread, therefore, turn
clockwise to loosen.
3. Release the spindle lock button to release the system.
4. Depress the head lock-up release lever (c) to release the lower guard
(g), then raise the lower guard as far as possible.
5. Remove the blade locking screw (nn) and the blade outside arbor
collar (oo). Carefully remove the saw blade.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the inner flange and both faces of the new blade
are clean and free of dust.
6. Install the new saw blade (f) onto the shoulder (pp) provided on the
inside arbor collar (qq), making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge
