Bench Mounting (Fig. B)
1. Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
22
Bolts with a diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length is 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.
2. 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 clamping bosses where
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will
interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
3. 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.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
machine off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
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.
Adjusting the Traverse Bars for Constant Cutting
Depth (Fig. A, B, F, H)
The blade must run at a constant cutting depth along the full length of the
table and must not touch the fixed table at the rear of the slot or at the front
of the rotating arm. To achieve this, the traverse arms must be perfectly
parallel to the table when the saw head is fully depressed.
1. Press the lower guard lock up release lever
2 to raise the lower blade
8 .
36 are
2 (Fig. A).
2. Press the saw head fully to the rear position and measure the height
from the rotating table to the bottom of the outer flange
14
3. Turn the saw head traverse lock
4. Keeping the saw head fully depressed, pull the head to the end of
its travel.
5. Measure the height indicated in figure F again. Both values should
be identical.
6. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows (Fig. H):
a. Loosen the locknut 37 in the bracket
as required, proceeding in small steps.
b. Tighten the locknut 37 .

WARNING: Always check that the blade does not touch the table at
the rear of the slot or at the front of the rotating arm at 90° vertical
and 45° bevel positions. Do not switch on before having checked this!
Adjusting the Fence (Fig. I)
Turn the sliding fence lock knob 9
sliding fence 16 to a position that avoids the blade cuts it,then tighten the
fence lock knob by turning clockwise.
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Fence
(Fig. B, J, K)
1. Slacken the mitre latch .
13
2. Place your thumb on the mitre arm
to release the rotating table/mitre arm
3. Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.
4. Pull down the head and lock it in this position using the lock down
button 23 .
5. Check that the two 0° markings
just visible.
6. Place a square 41 against the left side of the fence

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
7. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the screws 42 and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left
or right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the
square (Fig. J).
b. Retighten the screws 42 .
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Table
(Fig. L–N)
1. Loosen the bevel clamp handle
2. Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten
the bevel clamp handle.
3. Place a set square on the table and up against the blade
41

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
4. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the bevel clamp handle
adjustment stop screw 43 in or out until the blade is at 90° to the
table as measured with the square.
b. If the bevel pointer 44 does not indicate zero on the bevel
scale 21 , loosen the screws
scale as necessary.
Checking and Adjusting the Bevel Angle (Fig. A, L, N)
The bevel override allows the max. bevel angle to be set at 45° or 48°
as required.
• Left = 45°
• Right = 48°
1. Make sure the override knob
