1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with
abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust
causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower
guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use
this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is
placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table.
Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving
workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a
cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press
the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to
cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards
the operator.
NOTE The above warning is omitted for a simple pivoting arm mitre saw.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with
your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity
of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift
and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.

5
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can
be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or
braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and
firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the
adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or
the guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw
blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the
fence.
NOTE The phrase “bevel or” does not apply for saws without bevel adjustment.
l) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top.Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw
blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and
thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or
tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with
your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work
to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control
or damage to the mitre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to
stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is
dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw
head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
Additional instructions

the work area.
- Periodically check that all fasteners, screws, bolts and nuts are properly tightened.
- Do not put materials or equipment above the saw to prevent the possibility of an unfortunate fall.
- Use the saw to cut parts that are insulated from electricity. If you accidentally cut a wire hidden in
the workpiece or cut the power cable of the saw, the metal parts of the saw are covered by the
current, the power must then be switched off immediately and the plug removed from the saw. outlet.
- Never use the saw near any flammable liquid or gaseous material.
- Note and remember the direction of rotation of the motor and that of the blade.
- Do not block the movable blade guard in the open position and make sure it can move freely and
fully cover the blade teeth.
- Place a saw on a dust collecting bag and ensure it is working properly. As an operator, you need to
know the factors that influence the severity of pollution, such as material type, performance, and
setting of the dust collection or evacuation device. In any case we recommend the use of a dust
mask.
- Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials.
- Put the saw blades in a sheath during transport.
- Select the saw blades according to the type of material to be cut.
- Use sharp saw blades and observe the maximum speed marked on the blade.
- Redouble your attention by machining a groove.
- The miter saw can be transported safely by the main handle, but only when it has been
disconnected from the power outlet and locked in the locked position.
- Do not use the saw when the guards are not properly assembled, in good condition or well

Laser safety instructions
- Warning: Do not look directly at the laser beam.
The laser light / laser radiation used on this saw is of class 2 with 1mV at the maximum and the
wavelengths of 650 nm. These lasers do not usually constitute an optical hazard, but stare at the
beam can cause flash blindness. The danger exists if you deliberately look at the laser beam. To
avoid optical hazards, please observe the following guidelines:
oNever point the laser beam at a person or object other than the workpiece.
oThe laser cannot be pointed at a person's eye for more than 0.25s.
oAlways make sure that the laser beam is directed to a solid piece that does not have a reflective
surface such as a piece of wood or a rough, matte surface. A glossy steel sheet or similar
material is not suitable for use with the laser because a reflective surface can return the laser to
the operator.
oDo not replace the laser light device with a different laser product. Repairs must be performed
by the manufacturer of the laser product or its authorized dealer.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustment or application of procedures other than those specified in
this manual may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.

Alternatively, if the machine needs to be moved frequently, it can
be fixed to a plywood base of 19 mm, provide a more stable base.
c) Unlocking the cutting arm
Unscrew the screw (1) on the cutting arm to unlock it. To lock the arm, tighten the screw.

13
d) Connection of the dust and chips collector bag
Insert the dust bag over the extraction outlet located at the rear of
the machine.
You can also connect a vacuum hose to the dust extraction bend to
improve suction. The dust bag should be emptied frequently. The
dust bag is equipped with a zipper to empty it more easily. A full
bag greatly reduces its effectiveness. This bag needs to be cleaned
regularly in soapy water; before reuse, be sure to dry thoroughly.
Caution: Dust particles can cause respiratory problems. For your
protection, wearing a dust mask according to the standards in force
is advisable.
e) Mounting and adjustment of the table extensions
You can use the table extensions to work on long pieces of wood.
These extensions can be placed on the right or left according to your
needs.
Insert the extensions in the notches provided and tighten the locking
screw so that the extensions do not move while using the machine.
f) Installation and change of the blade:
An accessory should be changed when the machine is idle and disconnected.
To install or change the blades, your mitre saw should be in raised
position,
- Remove the front screw from the housing of the blade bolt (4).
- Lift the motor block blade and then the lower blade guard as high
as possible (note: take care, the lower blade guard is equipped with
a spring.)
Using the wrench, hold the flange (2) and then loosen the bolt of
the shaft (3) using the Allen key.
- Remove the flange of the blade and install or replace the blade
on the shaft. Make sure that the blade is properly installed, the
teeth directed downwards at the front of the saw.
- Place again the flange of the blade firmly against the blade.
- Tighten the bolt of the shaft by turning it to the left. Using the
wrench, hold the flange and tighten the bolt of the shaft using the
Allen key.

14
- Push with your thumb on the locking device of the lower blade
guard so that the blade guard covers the blade.
- Tighten the housing screw of the blade bolt.
- Check the locking device of the lower blade guard is properly in
place and that it properly blocks the latter.
Pay attention to the direction of blade rotation, a superimposed arrow on the head of the saw
shows the direction of the blade rotation. The teeth of the saw blade should be oriented in the
arrow direction. Choose also a blade with a marking showing the rotation direction to observe.
Use only sharp blades and not damaged. Cracked or twisted blades should be replaced
immediately.
Do not use HSS steel blades. Use only blades that are appropriate for the speed provided. Make
sure that the axis diameter and the axis hole are consistent.
g) Adjusting the mitre angle
Your saw allows performing mitre cutting from 0° to 45° both
to the right and to the left.
To adjust the table, loosen the locking handle of the table
(A) as shown in the diagram, move the table (C) until you
get the desired angle by using the handle (A).
Finally, lock the table using the locking handle to lock the
table in the proper position.
h) Adjusting the tilt of the saw head
You can tilt the saw head of your machine from 0° to 45°.
To adjust the tilt, loosen the locking handle of the table (located at the rear of the machine as shown on
the diagram.
Tilt the saw from 0° to 45° to obtain the desired tilt by using the handle.
Once set, tighten the handle firmly.

15
i) Use of the stop:
Your mitre saw is equipped with a fixed part stop as well as removable stop, on the right and left side:
they allow immobilizing the workpiece during the cutting operation and thus prevent it from moving.
You should always push the workpiece against the latter, regardless of the type of cut to be performed.
The mitre gauge should be systematically adjusted to perform a cut.
CAUTION: This mitre saw is also equipped with an adjustable
stop. These stops should be adjusted to match the cutting
angle (straight cut, bias cut, etc...).
j) Adjustment of the drive belt tension
Checking, adjustment of the drive belt tension and replacement:
Remove the black plastic cover by unscrewing each
screw
- Check the belt tension by exerting pressure with the
thumb.
- When the belt should be tightened or replaced.
Unscrew the four fixing screws of the motor by about a
turn.
Tighten or replace the drive belt.
For rear tension move the motor backwards.
Tighten the fixing screws of the motor crosswise.
- Put back in place the black plastic cover and then tighten it.

16
k) Start-up
The base of your saw should be placed and well fixed on a solid, flat surface in a place inaccessible to
children.
Ensure the proper tightening of the safety components and blade before starting.
Connect the machine to the 230V mains.
To turn the saw on, press the locking device and then press the trigger switch. To stop the saw, release
the trigger switch.
You should never stop the blade rotation by exerting side pressure on it.
As a safety measure, the lower blade guard is locked systematically as soon as you release the trigger
switch.
The lower guard retracts over the top blade guard when the top blade is in contact with the workpiece.
You can stop the device by releasing the power switch located on the handle.
Before you start cutting, the saw should reach its maximum speed.
Lower the saw head slowly and exert pressure depending on the composition of the materials to be cut.
When cutting, the wood should be well pressed against the stop rail.
For longer wood, you need to use side extensions.
After cutting, release the switch and re - attach the head in upper and locked position, making sure of
locking it.
After the cutting, the translucent blade guard closes automatically and covers the saw blade.
Run idle for 30 seconds in a safe position, stop the machine immediately if there is a relevant vibration
or other faults are detected.
If that is the case, check the machine to determine the cause of the fault.
You can stop the machine by releasing the trigger.
Use
Before any use, check that the blade is properly mounted and the stop is properly adjusted according to
the desired use.
Make sure that the lower mobile guard works properly and that the blade enters freely into the groove of
the working table by lowering the idle head while the motor is turned off.
If necessary re - adjust the cutting angle.
The translucent mobile guard should be replaced if it is cracked or damaged.
Tighten the workpiece in the vise on the working table.
CAUTION!
• Always observe the maximum widths and heights of the workpiece provided in the paragraph
"Technical features".
• If the workpiece's length is greater than 1 m, special precautions should be taken, such as support by
using shims at regular intervals under each end beyond the working table.
• Connect the power cable to a wall socket, checking that the voltage corresponds to that shown on the
nameplate of the machine.
• After turning the power on, wait a few seconds for the blade to reach its speed.
• Lower the cutting head slowly towards the workpiece and start working.
• Do not force the head: the advancement speed should be compatible with the material to be cut.
• At the end of the work, release the trigger switch and slowly raise the cutting head in upper position.
• The opening of the vise and cleaning of the waste should be done only when the machine is turned off,
the cutting head back in upper position, the movable guard closed and the blade completely stopped.
Instructions for cutting:
1. Unlock the head of the saw: exert pressure downward on the handle, pull the locking pin located at
the rear of the machine so that the head can return to its proper operating position.
2. Unlock the table

17
3. Rotate the table until the indicator reaches the desired angle on the scale tab
4. Secure the tab lock lever.
5. Before turning the saw on, run a test on the idle machine to make sure that the cutting is not difficult.
6. Firmly grasp the handle of the saw and squeeze the trigger. Wait a few seconds so that the blade
can reach its maximum speed.
7. Press your thumb against the lower blade guard locking device located on the handle.
8. Slowly lower the blade through the workpiece.
9. Release the trigger and wait until the blade stops spinning before removing it from the workpiece.
10. Raise gently the blade motor block to its highest position and release the lower blade guard locking
device.
WARNING!!
Always place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge pressed firmly against the stop.
If the board is bent, place the convex side against the stop and secure it. If the concave side is placed
against the stop, the board may press against the blade at the end of the cutting, blocking it.
WRONG
RIGHT
To prevent bouncing and serious bodily injury, never locate the concave side of a bent or curved piece
against the stop.
When cutting long pieces of wood or mouldings, support the opposite end of the workpiece. Align the
cutting line of the workpiece with the cutting edge of the blade. Hold the work piece firmly with one hand
and press it firmly against the stop.
WARNING!!
To avoid the risk of serious bodily injury, make sure that the mitre lock lever is securely locked before
starting cutting. If the mitre lock lever is not locked, the table may move during the cut.
To avoid serious bodily injury, your hands should always stay out of the "forbidden hands" area, at least
75 mm away from the blade. Never perform freehand cutting (without pressing the workpiece against
the stop). The blade could hook the workpiece if the latter slides or twists.
l) User's guide
Cross-sections
A cross section consists in cutting transversely through the workpiece. To perform a straight cross-
section cut (90°), the table should be set on position 0°. To perform mitre cuts - cutting, the table should
be positioned at an angle other than 0°.
Bias cuts

18
Bias cuts are performed with the table positioned on the tab 0° and the blade tilted at an angle between
0° and 45°.
- Rotate the table so that the indicator shows 0° on the scale tab.
- Lock the table by blocking the locking lever.
- Loosen the tilt locking knob and tilt the blade motor block to the left or right up to the desired angle.
- The bias cutting angle can be set between 0° and 45°.
- Align the indicator with the desired angle.
Mitre cuts
A mitre cut consists in cutting a piece placed against the end of the rear guide at an angle between 0°
and 45° to the right or left.
Double mitre cuts
A double mitre cut consists in using both a mitre angle and a tilt angle. This type of cut is used to make
frames, cut mouldings, make boxes with inclined sides, and for certain framework cutting.
To perform this type of cut, the table should be placed on the desired mitre angle and the blade motor
block should be tilted up to the selected bias angle.
The settings for double mitre cutting should be adjusted with great care, due to the interaction between
the two angles. The settings for mitre and bias cutting are interdependent. When you change the mitre
angle setting, you change the impact of the tilt adjustment. Similarly, when you change the tilt setting,
you change the impact of the mitre cutting angle setting. You may need to try several settings before
getting the desired cut. When you have completed the setting of the second angle, check again the first
angle setting, as the setting of second angle may have changed that of the first.
Once you have the two proper settings for a for a given cut, always perform a cutting test with scrap
material before making the final cut on the workpiece.
- The bias cutting angle can be set between 0° and 45°.
- Align the indicator with the desired angle.
Positioning of mouldings flat on the table
In order to use this method to cut with precision crown mouldings for inner and external right - angled
corners, lay the moulding with its broadest backside flat on the table, pressed against the stop.
When setting up the bias and mitre angles and the tab for double mitre cuts, remember that the settings
are interdependent: when you change an angle, the other is modified.

19
The angles for crown mouldings are very precise and difficult to adjust. Given that the angles tend to go
out of adjustment, all settings should first be tested on scrap mouldings. In addition, most walls are not
exactly perpendicular, so adjustments should be made accordingly.
5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
a. General maintenance
Remove the plug from the power outlet before performing any adjustment or
maintenance.
This machine does not require special mechanical maintenance, such as the lubrication of the bearings.
Remember to keep your machine in clean condition to avoid any risk of failure.
Lubricate regularly all parts requiring it, as the shaft for instance.
Remove regularly sawing dust from the housing and protective casings.
Periodically check the power cable and, if it is damaged, replace it with an identical cable.
Having this operation performed by the After - Sales Service is advisable.
Periodically check the power cable extension cords and replace them if they are damaged.
The use of extension cords leads to a loss of power.
To limit the power loss to a minimum and prevent the tool overheating, use an extension cord with
sufficient calibre to carry the necessary current to the tool.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent
in order to avoid a safety hazard.
If the power cord is damaged, unplug it immediately.
The cleaning of plastic parts should be performed when the machine is turned off, using a soft, damp
cloth and mild soap.
Do not use solvents to clean plastic parts.
Most plastics may be damaged by the solvents commercially available.
Never immerse the machine and do not use detergent, alcohol, gasoline, etc.
The blades should be stored and handled with care.
Replace the blade as soon as it shows signs of wear.
In case of problems or for a thorough cleaning, consult the After - Sales Service.
b. Brush replacement
CAUTION!
Remember to
check and
replace the
brushes
periodically.
Check periodically the condition of the brushes. They should be
replaced when the carbon length is about 5mm. Brushes should always
be replaced in pairs. Always keep brushes clean and free to move in
the brush holder.
For their replacement or inspection: remove the threaded plugs using a
flat - head screwdriver, replace the brushes, making sure of inserting
properly the new brushes and ensuring that they slide properly in their
housing, replace the plugs, taking care not to pinch the spring - loaded
brushes.
