When fitting blade, always
ensure teeth point forwards.

To get the best from your saw, you must make sure it is correctly set, ensuring the
following points are correct:
(a) The saw blade is tensioned sufficiently to avoid ‘whip’ which will cause the blade to
deviate from a true cut.
(b) The blade is ‘in line’ and central to the frame.
(c) Blade tension is always released after use.
(d) The workpiece is square and true to the base casting.
(e) The correct type of blade is used.
SAFETY FIRST TO AVOID INJURY: Do not remove the blade guard whilst fitting the bow
saw blade to the frame. Refit the blade guard when work is complete and when
removing the blade from the frame.
After assembly has been carefully carried out, always test your mitre saw and the
angles with some scrap timber, to ensure the machine is assembled correctly and
cutting true.
