HELPFUL HINTS
Mounting
As previously mentioned, you may prefer to mount the Mitre Saw on a firm foundation
- a workbench or work table, to provide additional support. This is particularly
advisable if you are cutting larger pieces.
Use the holes in the Table Supports for this purpose, securing with screws, flat washers
and wing nuts for quick and easy removal, if required.
Cutting Simple Mitres or Bevels
Simple mitres or bevels are cuts made in one plane only. Either the blade is tilted
over at an angle to the table, by slackening off the Guide Rod Securing Screws
sufficiently to disengage the locking boss from the Quadrant, to allow the Guides
to be tilted to the desired angle, and then re tightened (Fig. 5), or the Angle
Adjustment Carriage is moved to the desired angle by lifting the Locking Lever to
allow the carriage to be moved, with the blade remaining at right angles to the
table (Fig.6).
Cutting Compound Mitres
It follows that compound mitres are cut using
a combination of the two methods
illustrated above.
General
When cutting, DO NOT force the saw blade as this will lead to distortions and inac-
curate bevels. A very gentle pressure ONLY is required.
Ensure the Guide Assembly Locking Screws are tight before use - use the Allen key
for tightening them.
Ensure the saw blade is correctly tensioned before use - too slack will allow the
blade to twist, producing innaccurate mitres.
Use the Depth of Cut Stops for accuracy
Setting the Carriage to the angles shown in fig.7, will produce the mitres illustrated.

COMPONENT GUIDE
ASSEMBLY Ref. Fig.1
The Angle Adjustment Carriage is preassembled to the Mitre Table. It is necessary
to assemble the Guide Rod Assemblies, Table Supports, Work Clamp and Length
Stop as follows:
1. Table Supports
Screw the Supports to the Mitre Table using the Hex.
Socket Head screws with flat washers provided - two at
each side.
Refer to fig. 2, and note the manner in which they are
attached - the two holes nearer the edge of the
Support, are towards the outside of the Mitre Table and
are visible when correctly assembled (see also Fig. 4).
NOTE: These holes may be used to fix the Mitre Saw to a
workbench, for additional stability, if required.
2. Guide Rod Assemblies
Insert the locking screw through the hole in the base
of the Guide Rod as shown in Fig. 3, ensuring the
Locking Boss is facing inwards towards the Angle
Quadrant. Thread the screw through the slotted
hole in the Quadrant and secure with the square nut
provided.
The Locking Boss sits in one of the holes in the Angle
Quadrant to determine the saw blade angle.
3. Work Clamp
Screw the Clamp Support into one of the threaded
holes in the front face of the Mitre Table, (see fig. 4),
depending upon which side of the saw blade your
work is to be mounted, remembering NOT to clamp
the free end of the work.
Secure the Clamp Support with the nut provided
4. Work Stop
Screw the Stop Support rod into the threaded hole at the end of the Mitre table
and lock in place using the nut provided.
5. Saw Blade
Slide a Depth of Cut Stop on to one of the Guide Support Rods, before carefully
sliding the Blade Guides on to the Guide Rods. When this is accomplished, clip the
caps on to the top of each Guide Rod Assembly.
Your Mitre Saw is now fully assembled and ready for use.
