ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR MITER SAWS
Extension cords
• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use
of damaged cords can shock, burn or
electrocute.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord
with adequate size conductors should be
used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss
of power or overheating. The table shows
the correct size to use, depending on cord
length and nameplate amperage rating of
tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension
cords

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Accessories
The 2001515 Compound Miter Saw is
supplied with the following accessories
as standard:
• Saw blade (fitted)
• 6mm hex key
• Dust bag
• Padlock
• Instruction manual
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it
is unlikely that your power tool is faulty or that
a part is missing. If you find anything wrong,
do not operate the tool until the parts have
been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
1) Remove all loose parts from the carton.
2) Remove the packing materials from around
the saw.
3) Using the operating handle (3) carefully lift
the saw from the carton and place it on a
level work surface.
4) The saw has been shipped with the saw
arm locked in the down position. To release
the saw arm, push down on the top of the
saw arm, pull on the release knob (2), rotate
it 45° and let go, slowly raise the saw arm.
WARNING. Do not lift the saw whilst
holding on to the guards. Use the operating
handle (3).
Transportation
Lift the Miter saw only when the saw arm
is locked in the down position, the saw is
switched off and the plug is removed from the
power point.
Only lift the saw by the operating handle (3) or
outer castings. Do not lift the saw using
the guards.
Bench mounting
The saw base has holes in each corner to
facilitate bench mounting.
1) Place the saw on a level, horizontal bench
or work table using bolts (not supplied) and
fix the saw to the bench using 4 bolts.
2) If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece
of 13mm or thicker plywood which can then
be clamped to your work
support or moved to other job sites
and re-clamped.
CAUTION. Make sure that the mounting
surface is not warped as an uneven surface
can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
Release knob
The release knob (2) is provided for holding
the cutting head down whilst transporting or
storing the Miter saw. The saw must never be
used with the release knob locking the head
down.
Miter table locks
The Miter table locks (15) are used to lock the
table at the desired Miter angle.
The Miter saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left
and right. To adjust the Miter angle loosen the
Miter table locks and rotate the Miter table to
the desired position. The Miter table features
positive click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and
45° for quick setting of common Miter angles.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the Miter table
locks before making a cut. Failure to do so
could result in the table moving during the cut
and cause serious personal injury.
Bevel lock
The bevel lock (7) is used to set the blade
at the desired bevel angle. The Miter saw
bevel cuts from 0° to 45° to the left. To adjust
the bevel angle loosen the bevel lock and
adjustthe saw arm to the desired bevel angle.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the bevel lock
before making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in the saw arm moving during the cut
and cause serious personal injury.
