Spindle Lock
The spindle lock prevents the blade in the
saw from rotating. Depress and hold the
spindle lock while installing, changing, or
removing the blade. Never press when blade
is rotating.
Retractable Safety Guard
The lower guard provides protection to your hands and limbs when
the mitre saw head is in the up position. During the operation of the
saw, when the saw is turned on and you are making a cut, the lower
guard retracts over the upper guard as the saw is lowered into the
work piece.
1. To retract the lower guard, slide the
release lever right with your thumb and
press handle down.
Fence
Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the upper fence
when bevel or compound mitre
cutting. Always make a dry
run with the saw turned o󰀨
and check clearance. Tighten
securely before making a cut.
Material Clamp
Depending on the cut, the
material clamp will need
to be mounted on the
appropriate side. When
performing bevel cuts, the
work clamp must be on the
opposite side of the bevel
(otherwise it will interfere
with the cutting action).
3. TYPES OF CUTS
OPERATION
Straight Cutting
A straight cut is made by cutting the grain
of the workpiece. A 90° straight cut is made
with the mitre scale set in the 0°.
Max. cutting capacity

Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the mitre saw will spark
and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as this happens. They
should be replaced prior to recommencing use of the mitre
saw. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the mitre
saw therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing to use
the mitre saw when carbon brushes need to be replaced
may cause permanent damage to the mitre saw. Carbon
brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be
replaced, take the mitre saw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick
and low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same
time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused
by the repair of the mitre saw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of
the mitre saw.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
Fence Alignment
The fence holds the workpiece in a xed position while the table and or the
blade assembly are adjusted in a mitre or bevel angle. To make accurate cuts,
the Fence must be perpendicular (at a 90° angle) to the saw blade.
1. Before beginning work, make a test cut on a scrap material with the table
set at 90°.
2. Check the cut with an accurate square. You can also reverse the two pieces,
hold the cut ends together, and hold a good straight edge along the side of
the pieces
3. If either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90° angle, adjust the fence
before beginning work.
If Fence Needs Adjustment:
1. First unplug the tool
2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it in place using the Lock Down Pin.
3. Lay a carpenters’ square on the turn table one edge along the blade and the
other along the fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible. Note: The square
must contact the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
4. The fence is held in place with bolts at each end. Loosen the bolts slightly
and, gently tap the fence into position using a soft mallet. Retighten the bolts
and make another test cut. Repeat the process until the fence is adjusted
accurately.
5. Once the fence is accurately adjusted, tighten the bolts rmly in place.
Recheck one last time, then proceed to work.
Transportation
The lock down pin is provided for holding the cutting head down whilst
transporting or storing the mitre saw. The saw must never be used with the lock
down pin locking the head down. Tighten the slide lock during transportation
Power tools that are no longer usable should not be
disposed of with household waste but in an environmentally
friendly way. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check
with your local council authority for recycling advice.
Recycling packaging reduces the need for landll and raw
materials. Reuse of recycled material decreases pollution in
the environment. Please recycle packaging where facilities
exist. Check with your local council authority for recycling
advice.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING! Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specied on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specied for the tool can
result in serious injury to the user,as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance,
including changing the blade.
• When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection,
dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves.
• Ensure that there is adequate general or localised lighting.
• Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.
• Do not use the saw to cut masonry.
• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this saw.
• Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the
machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut rewood.
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
• Report faults in the machine, including guards and saw blades, as soon as they are discovered.
• Ensure that the machine is always xed to a bench, whenever possible.
• Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
• Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade.
• When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the workpiece from turning on both sides of the
blade.
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the blade.
• Do not use blades of High Speed Steel (HSS blades).
• If the table insert is damaged or worn, have it replaced by a power tool repairer.
• Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never be left around the work area.
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other foreign objects before
operating the saw.
• Support the work properly.
• Refrain from removing any cut-o󰀨s or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the
machine is running and the saw head is not in the rest position.
• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before rst switching o󰀨 the machine.
• Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest without assistance.
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch o󰀨 before looking
up.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other xings are properly tightened.
• Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that they could fall into it.
• Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the
saw’s own cable, the metal parts of the saw will become “live”. Switch o󰀨 at the mains and remove
the plug immediately.
• Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade.
• Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and always ensure that it is working properly,
freely rotating and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade.
• Connect the saw to a dust collection device and ensure that it is operating properly. As the
operator of the saw, please make sure that you understand factors that inuence exposure to dust,
including the type of material to be cut, the importance of local extraction and the proper
adjustment of hoods/ba󰀪es/chutes of your dust extraction system. We recommend that you
always wear a dust mask when operating this saw.
• Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials.
• Saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever possible.
• Select saw blades in relation to the material being cut.
• Use correctly sharpened saw blades and observe the maximum speed marked on the blade.
• Take additional care when trenching (slotting).
• The mitre saw can be safely carried by the carrying handle but only once it has been removed
from the mains power and secured in the locked down position.
• Ensure that the arm is properly secure when bevelling.
• Keep the oor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of loose materials.
• Ensure that you are trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine.
• Do not remove any cut-o󰀨s from the cutting area until the mitre saw head is in the full upright
position, the blade guard is fully enclosing the blade and the blade has come to a rest or complete
stop.
• When cutting long pieces which extend well over the table width, ensure that the ends are
adequately supported at the same height as the saw table top. Supports should be positioned in
such a way to ensure that the workpiece does not fall to the ground once the cut has been made.
• A number of supports at regular intervals may be required if the workpiece is extremely long.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
• Operating Mitre Saws without the correct hearing protection may result in impairment of hearing.
- Wear goggles
- Wear earmu󰀨s
- Wear a breathing mask
• Do not use the saw to cut metal in explosive environments.
MITRE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re 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 ammable
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. Unmodied 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.
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 inuence 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 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 o󰀨-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger 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, clothing and gloves 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 o󰀨. 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 the battery pack 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may a󰀨ect 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 di󰀨erent 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 qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal
injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool o󰀨 in an emergency,
before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible
electrical insulation failure within the tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to
avoid a hazard.

1 Remove the stand components
from the box and group matching
pieces together. Check that you
have all the contents listed to the
left.
Note: All upper members can be
identied by the 2 holes very close
together.
2 Lay two upper and lower legs on
the ground aligning 2 of the bolt
holes, parallel to each other.
The upper leg sits outside the
lower leg.
3 Place one long lower support
in between the legs and align
the bolt holes. The side support
should have its lip on the high side
(facing up) and should sit inside
the legs.
Ensure the lip with the lengthened
bolt holes is facing upwards.
4 Once aligned, insert small bolts
into the 2 aligned holes at both
sides of the lower support. Insert
the bolt from the outside and
screw a small washer and nut
onto each bolt to secure (only
hand tight at this initial stage).
5 Place one long upper support on
the outside of the legs at the top
(This will ensure the mounting
holes will align correctly once
assembled)
Insert a bolt from the outside into
the 2 aligned holes at either side
of the upper support and hand
tighten a small washer and nut
onto each.
6 At this stage your frame should
look like this.

12 Once all of the members are
joined together and all fasteners
are assembled, place the 4
mounting bolts into the holes
at the top of the stand. This
will ensure the mounting holes
align correctly while the stand is
tightened.
Tighten all nuts and bolts rmly.
Note: We recommend that the stand
is mounted to a stable surface
for additional stability.
13 The Rubber Feet can now be
tted and the large bolts with
rubber stops inserted into the
rubber feet.
These bolts can be adjusted to
level the stand.
14 Remove the mounting bolts that
you inserted prior to tightening
the stand, then place the saw on
the stand. The supplied mounting
bolts, washers and nuts should
be used to secure the saw to the
top of the stand.
7 Align one short lower support
inside the legs at the same height
as the long lower support. Ensure
that the lip of the side support is
facing up.
Insert 2 small bolts in the aligned
holes from the outside and
attaching a small washer and
nut (only hand tight at this initial
stage).
8 On the same side as Step 7,
assemble one short upper support
to the top of the upper leg using 2
small bolts, washers and nuts.
One half of the frame is now
complete.
9 Repeat the same process for the
other side, which should leave
you with 2 identical halves.
11 Align the holes of each opposing
member. Bolts, washers and nuts
can be inserted & tightened with
hand force only.
12 Insert a bolt into the 4 overlapping
lower support holes and attach a
washer and nut onto each.
10 These halves can now be aligned
together to complete the frame.
Note: Nuts & bolts should only be
nger tight at this stage.
