DIY 1450W Sliding Mitre Saw
Before Use
WARNING: Important safety devices! Ensure correct function, maintain in accordance with
instructions and DO NOT disable!
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing accessories, or making any adjustments .
Note: Cutter/cutting head is a description of the section of the tool incorporating the motor, blade
assembly and pivoting arm . On a sliding mitre saw it is the section that traverses the pole arm or
arms .
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 risk to safety during use .
1 . Mount the saw to a level, horizontal bench or work table using bolts, washers and locking nuts
(not supplied) through the four Bench Mounting Holes (18)
2 . DO NOT over-tighten; this may damage the base
3. Do not use bolts that are not a good fit for the Bench Mounting Holes; this may encourage
unwanted movement
4 . Alternatively, mount the saw on 13mm or thicker board, and clamp the board to a work support
(Fig . I); this makes it easy to relocate the saw, clamping it to a work support wherever needed
5 . When using a board it may be necessary to countersink the washers and nuts so the board is
level on the surface
WARNING: Ensure the mounting surface is not warped; an uneven surface can cause binding
and inaccurate sawing .
Unlatching & raising the Cutting Head
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the tool is unplugged from the power socket and the blade has
come to a complete stop before latching the cutting head down, carrying the tool, and/or unlatching
the cutting head .
To unlatch & raise the Cutting Head:
1 . Press down on the Operating Handle (7) (Image A) and pull out the Cutting Head Latching Pin
(28) (Image B)
2 . Slowly raise the saw's cutting head (Image C)
To lower & latch the Cutting Head:
1 . From the raised position, disengage the Blade Guard Safety Latch (8) (Image D)
2 . Press the Operating Handle (7) and cutting head down slowly (Image A) then press in the Cutting
Head Latching Pin (28)
Adjusting the Fence
1 . Ensure the Fence (4 & 14) is used with every cut
2 . The Sliding Fence (4) can be adjusted and extended out or removed entirely
3 . To adjust the Sliding Fence loosen the Sliding Fence Screw (33) using the 4mm Hex Key (20) and
slide the Fence to the required position (Image E)
4 . Tighten the Sliding Fence Screw using the 4mm Hex Key to secure the Sliding Fence
Note: If the Workpiece Clamp Is attached to the saw on the Sliding Fence it will require removing
before Fence adjustment can take place .
5 . If performing a bevel cut, the Sliding Fence may need to be removed so it does not obstruct the
movement of the cutting head or interfere with the Blade (36) when tilted
WARNING: NEVER use the mitre saw without the Fixed Fence .
Adjusting the Workpiece Supports
1 . Loosen the Workpiece Support Screws (37) using the 4mm Hex Key (20)
2 . Slide the Workpiece Supports (15) into the holes on the side of the tool (Image F)
3 . Tighten the Workpiece Support Screws to secure the Workpiece Supports in position
Fitting the Workpiece Clamp
1 . Decide which side of the cutting head that the workpiece is to be clamped (normally the longer
side of the workpiece protruding from the tool)
2 . Insert the Workpiece Clamp (38) fully into the desired Workpiece Clamp Slot (23) (Image G)
3 . Tighten the Workpiece Clamp Locking Knob (32)
4 . Position the Clamp over the workpiece by swivelling the upper part of the Clamp and raise or
lower the Clamp according to the size of the workpiece (Image H)
5 . Once the clamp is in position tighten the Workpiece Clamp Adjustment Locking Knob (2)
6 . Screw the Workpiece Clamping Screw (3) clockwise to lower the Workpiece Clamping Plate (5)
onto the workpiece to clamp in position (Image I)
