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 metal or 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 with out the correct hearing protection may result in impairment of hearing.

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
