POWER TOOL GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
(
These General Power Tool Safety Instruc-
tions are as specified in BS EN 60745-
1:2009 & EN 61029-1:2009)
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions 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)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 the 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 ed 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)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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
instances this dust can be particularly
harmful. If you suspect that paint on the
surface of material you wish to cut contains
lead, seek professional advice. Lead based
paints should only be removed by a
professional and you should not attempt to
remove it yourself. Once the dust has been
deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to even low levels of lead can
cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are
working with and to reduce the risk of
exposure. We recommend the use of an
approved face mask with replaceable filters
when using this machine.
You should always:
● Work in a well-ventilated area.
● Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: the operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
injury to the eyes. When using this machine
always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields or even a full face
shield where necessary.

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 masks, 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 the 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 key left attached to a rotating part
of a 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 that these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 a rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the
power source and/or battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
S uch preventative
safety measuresreduce 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 moving parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools
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.
5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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.

alternative the Mitre Saw can be mounted
onto a wooden base-board which in turn
can be temporarily or permanently bolted to
a suitable stable work bench or similar.
●Long work-pieces should be
additionally supported by the use of an
appropriate remote work-piece support.
This should be adjusted so the bearing
surface of the remote support matches the
height of the machines table.
●All operators using this machine must
read these instructions and familiarize
themselves with the machines controls.
●Never leave the saw unattended and
running.
Do not leave the saw until the saw
has been switched OFF, and the blade has
come to a complete halt.
CARRYING YOUR MITRE SAW
Note: Although compact this Mitre Saw is
heavy.
To limit the risk of back strain or
injury enlist competent help whenever you
have to lift the saw.
●Hold the saw close to your body during
a lift. Bend your knees so that you can lift
using your legs not your back.
●Lift by using the handhold areas
identified in this Instruction Manual.
●Never use the power cord to lift or move
this machine.
You risk damaging the
electrical connections or insulation of the
machine. This could produce a potentially
dangerous situation resulting in an
increased risk of electric shock or fire.
●Do not use the blade guard as a lifting
point.
●Remember to remove the mains plug
form the mains supply socket.
Store the
plug and supply cord safely on the machine
before attempting to move or transport the
machine to a new location.
●Before moving the saw check:
● The Cutting Head is locked in its lowest
position.
● The Rotary Table is locked in either of its
maximum settings.
● The Bevel Locking Handle is tightened so
that bevel neck is secured.
● The Slide Locking Lever is tightened to
secure the sliding carriage.
●When repositioning the machine at a
new location a safety check should be
carried out.
Check particularly the
operation of all of the machines safety
features and guard(s) before attempting to
operate the machine.
THE LASER CUTTING GUIDE
This machine is equipped with a Laser
Cutting Guide. This allows the operator
to preview the path of the blade through
the work-piece. The Laser projects a
beam when the slide switch located in the
right hand edge of the Cutting Head ‘D’
handle is operated.
Avoid direct eye contact with the laser
beam, and do not use on material that
could reflect the laser beam.
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the
laser beam. A hazard may exist if you
deliberately stare into the beam. Please
observe all of the following safety rules.
The laser beam must not be deliberately
aimed at people or animals, and must be
prevented from being directed towards
the eyes of a person.
Always ensure that the laser beam is
used only on work-pieces that have
non-reflective surfaces, i.e. natural wood
or matt surfaces etc.
Never exchange the laser module
assembly for a different type or class of
laser.
Repairs to the laser module must only be
conducted by Pingtek or their authorized
agent.
Note: The Laser Cutting Guide gives the
operator a useful indication as to the path
of the blade. However it should not be

● The declared vibration total value has
been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another.
● The vibration measurement was made
under standard conditions in accordance
with: BS EN 61029-1:2009
● The declared vibration total value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
VIBRATION INFORMATION
WARNING:
The vibration emission value
during the actual use of this power tool can
differ from the declared value because of
the way in which the tool is used. The
following examples give some indication as
to why the vibration values may vary from
the declared figure:
● How the machine is used and the material
being cut.
● That the machine being used is in good
condition and well maintained.
● That any blade installed is designed for
the machine, and that it is sharp and in
good condition.
● The tightness of the operators grip on the
handles, and if any anti-vibration
accessories are used.
● That the tool is being used as intended by
its design, and in accordance with these
instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
WARNING:
To be accurate, an estimation
of exposure level in the actual conditions of
use should also take account of all parts of
the operating cycle, such as the times when
the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle but not actually doing the job.
This may significantly reduce the exposure
level over the total working period.
To minimise your vibration exposure
risk.
●
Only use sharp blades.
● Maintain this tool in accordance with these
instructions and keep it well lubricated
(where appropriate).
● If the tool is to be used regularly then
invest in anti-vibration accessories.
● Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10 ° C
or less.
● Plan your work schedule to spread any
high vibration tool use across a number of
days.

CHECKING THE PRECISION ANGLES
WARNING:
Only attempt these procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
power supply.
Note: The Cutting Head should be in the
‘locked down’ position when checking the
Bevel and Mitre Angles and the Fence
alignment.
0° BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
●
Ensure that the Cutting Head is upright,
against its stop and that the Bevel Pointer is
indicating 0° on the protractor scale.
(Fig. 1)
● Place a set square (not supplied) on the
rotary table with one edge on the table and
another edge against the blade.
(Fig. 2)
●
Check the blade alignment.
● If the blade is not at 90° to the table
adjustment is required.
To Adjust:
● Loosen the Bevel Lock Handle and tilt the
Cutting Head to the left.
● Loosen the locknut (10mm AF spanner
required – not supplied) on the 0° Bevel
Angle Adjustment Screw (Stop).
● Turn the Adjustment Screw ( Fig. 3) in or
out a little, returning the Cutting Head to the
upright position against the Stop to check
the inclination of the blade with the Stop in
the revised position.
● Continue the process until the Stop is set
so that the blade is at 90° to the table when
the Cutting Head is resting against the
Stop.
● When alignment is achieved tighten the
locknut on the Bevel Angle Adjustment
Screw (Stop).
45° BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
●
Tilt the Cutting Head to the left until it rests
against the 45
° Stop.
● Use a 45 ° x 45 ° x 90 ° set square (not
supplied) in a similar way to the preceding
process above, check the inclination of the
blade.
● If the blade is not at 45 ° to the table
adjustment is required.
To Adjust:
●
Return the Cutting Head to the upright
position.
● Loosen the locknut on the 45 ° Bevel
Adjustment Screw.
(Fig 4)
●
Turn the Adjustment Screw in or out a
little, returning the Cutting Head to the 45
°
Bevel position against the Stop to check the
inclination of the blade with the Stop in the
revised position.
● Continue the process until the Stop is set
so that the blade is at 45 ° to the table when
the Cutting Head is resting against the
Stop.
● When alignment is achieved tighten the
locknut on the Bevel Angle Adjustment
Screw (Stop).
BEVEL POINTER ADJUSTMENT
Note:
Only adjust the Bevel Pointer once
the Bevel Stops have been checked and set
correctly.
● Ensure that the Cutting Head is in the
upright (0 ° Bevel) position.
● If the Bevel Pointer is not pointing exactly
at the 0
° position on the protractor scale
adjustment is required.
To Adjust:
●
Loosen the Bevel Pointer Screw using a
screwdriver (not supplied)
● Adjust the pointer so that it is in exact
alignment with the 0
° mark on the protractor
scale and retighten Bevel Pointer screw.
(Fig. 5)
FENCE CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT
Note:
The Fence should be aligned at
exactly 90 ° (square) to a correctly installed
blade when the rotary table is set at 0
° Mitre
Angle.
(Fig. 6)
● Place a set square (not supplied) on the
rotary table with one short edge against the
Fence and the other short edge against the
blade.
● If alignment is not exact then adjustment is
required.

● Securely tighten the four (4) socket
headed screws.
Note: Access to the two (2) socket headed
screws which secure the LH side of the
Fence can be improved if the sliding upper
portion of the Fence is removed from the
main Fence casting. This upper portion is
held in position by one (1) socket headed
screw.
RIGHT & LEFT HAND WORKPIECE
SUPPORTS
(Fig. 7)
Note: One or both work-piece supports can
be fitted as the operator desires.
The supplied work-piece supports simply
slide into the two (2) holes found at either
side of the machines base.
Approximately 70mm of the work-piece
support should slide into the base. The
‘legs’ of the work-piece support must
engage with the two (2) support brackets
provided in the interior of the base.
DUST BAG
The Dust Bag provided can be fitted to the
extraction port found at the top rear of the
upper blade guard.
(Fig. 8)
Note:
The Dust Bag is for use when cutting
wooden or plastic type materials.
It should not be used when cutting metals or
metallic type materials.
When cutting metallic materials the dust
bag should be removed.
Note: For reasons of operational efficiency
empty the Dust Bag when it becomes 2/3
full. Dispose of the contents in an
environmentally responsible way. It may be
necessary to wear a dust mask when
emptying the Dust Bag.
Note: A workshop vacuum extraction
machine can be attached to the dust
extraction port if required.
Follow the manufacturer’s instruction if
such a machine is attached.
THE HOLD DOWN CLAMP (Fig. 9)
Two sockets and associated ‘thumb
screws’ are incorporated (one to either
side) into the rear of the machines fence.
These sockets are for positioning the Hold
Down Clamp during cutting operations.
● Always fit the clamp into the socket that
best suits the cutting operation to be
undertaken.
● Ensure that the ‘pillar’ of the Hold Down
Clamp is fully pushed into the fence socket.
● Tighten the ‘thumbscrew’ to lock the pillar
of the clamp into the fence socket.
PERMANENTLY MOUNTING THE MITRE
SAW
To minimise the risk of injury from
unexpected saw movement, place the saw
in the desired location either on a
workbench or other suitable machine stand.
The base of the machine has four (4)
mounting holes through which suitable bolts
or other fixings (not supplied) can be
inserted to secure the mitre saw.
If the saw is to be used in one location only,
permanently fasten it to a workbench using
appropriate fastenings. Use locking
washers and/or nuts on the underside of the
workbench.
(Fig. 10)
● To avoid injury from any debris etc ejected
from the machine, position the saw so that
other people or bystanders cannot stand
behind the machine or close to it.
● Position the saw on a firm, level surface
where there is sufficient room for handling
and/or supporting the work-piece.
● Bolt or clamp the saw securely into its
service position.
● The machines table should be as level as
possible. Check this with a builders spirit
level (not supplied) both from back to front
and across the table.
FOR PORTABLE USE (Fig. 11)
●Mount the saw on a piece 18 mm thick
MDF or Plywood board (800 x 500 min
recommended) using appropriate
fastenings (not supplied).

PRE-CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Inspect the machine before
each use. Inspect particularly for the correct
functioning of the safety guards. Only
connect the machine to a power supply
after a thorough safety check has been
carried out.
BODY and HAND POSITIONING
Correct operator stance (Fig. 12) and
positioning is an important safety
consideration when operating any Mitre
Saw.
●Never place your hands within the ‘no
hands zone’ (at least 150mm away from the
blade).
●The work-piece must be firmly secured to
the machines table and against the fence to
prevent any movement during cutting.
●Use the Hold Down clamp to secure the
work-piece. Ensure that the Hold Down
clamp is so positioned that it does not
interfere with the path of the blade or other
moving machine parts.
●Do not attempt ‘awkward’ operations
where a sudden slip could cause your
fingers or hands to move into the blade.
●Before attempting a cut, make a ‘dry run’
with the power off so that you can see the
path of the blade.
●Keep your hands in position until the
ON/OFF trigger switch has been released
and the blade has completely stopped.
●DO NOT OVER-REACH.
●Keep good footing and balance. Stand to
one side so that your face and body are out
of line of a possible kickback.
●
Freehand cutting is a major cause of
accidents and should not be attempted .
BEGINNING OPERATIONS
RELEASING the CUTTING HEAD

BASIC SLIDE CUTTING
This saw is equipped with a Sliding
Carriage system.
Loosening the sliding carriage locking
screw will release the carriage and allow
the Cutting Head to move forwards and
backwards.
(Fig. 18)
The saw blade is lowered into and through
the front edge of the work-piece and then
pushed to the rear of the machine to
complete a cut.
This type of cut can be used for cutting wide
pieces.
●Position the work-piece on the table and
against the fence and secure with clamp(s)
as appropriate.
●Loosen the Sliding Carriage Locking
Screw.
●Grasp the Cutting Handle and pull the
Cutting Head forward until the arbor (centre
of saw blade) is directly over and above the
front edge of the work-piece.
(Fig. 19)
●Operate the ON/OFF motor trigger switch
and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
●Operate the lower blade guard locking
lever for Cutting Head release.
●Push the Cutting Handle all the way down
and cut through the leading edge of the
work-piece.
●Gently push the Cutting Handle rearwards
towards the fence completing the cut.
●Always push the Cutting Head to the full
rear position during each cut.
WARNING: Never pull the Cutting Head
and spinning blade towards you when
making a sliding cut. The blade may try to
climb up on top of the work-piece, causing
the Cutting Head to ‘kickback’ forcefully.
The Cutting Head should always be
positioned as shown in
(Fig. 19) before
attempting to make a sliding cut. When the
Cutting Head is in the correct position
above the work-piece it can be lowered and
pushed rearwards towards the fence to
complete the cut.
BASIC MITRE CUTTING (Fig. 20)
The rotary table of this machine can be
turned through 45° to the left or right from
the normal cross-cut (0°) position.
Positive stops are provided at 45°,30°
22.5°, 15° and 0° to both the right hand and
left hand sides.
Mitre Cutting is possible with or without the
Sliding Carriage system being used.
●Loosen the Mitre Locking Handle
(Fig. 21) by turning it anti-clockwise.
●Pull up the Positive Stop Locking Lever.
( Fig. 22)
●Turn the rotary table to the desired angle.
A mitre angle protractor scale is
incorporated into the machines base to aid
setting.
●Tighten the Mitre Locking Handle when
the required angle is indicated.
Note: The protractor scale indicates but
does not have a positive stop for the angle
of 31.75°. This position can be useful when
cutting Crown Moulding.
Note: It is good practice to tighten the
Mitre Lock Handle even if a Positive Stop
has been selected and the Positive Stop
Locking Lever is engaged.

THE SLIDING LH UPPER FENCE
The Left Hand side of the Fence has an
adjustable upper section. Adjustment may
be necessary to provide clearance for the
moving Cutting Head when acute Mitre,
Bevel or Compound angles are selected.
To adjust the Fence:
●Loosen the socket headed screw.
(Fig. 23)
●Slide the upper section of the Fence
leftwards to the required position and
tighten the socket headed screw.
●Conduct a ‘dry run’ with the power off to
confirm that there is no contact between
machine parts as the cut is attempted.
BASIC BEVEL CUTTING (Fig. 24)
The Cutting Head can be set at any angle
up to a 45° to the Left Hand side only.
The Bevel Angle Locking Handle is found at
the rear of the machine. Positive stops are
located at 0° (blade vertical), and 45°.
●Loosen the Bevel Locking Handle.
●Tilt the Cutting Head to the desired angle.
A protractor guide is provided on the front of
the Bevel Neck to aid setting.
●Ensure the handle is tightened securely
when the required angle has been
achieved.
Note: When making some Bevel cuts the
Left Hand side of the fence may have to be
adjusted to provide clearance for the
moving Cutting Head. Adjust if necessary
and conduct a ‘dry’ run to confirm that there
is no contact between machine parts as the
cut is attempted.
Note: The bevel protractor scale indicates
an angle of 31.9°. This setting can be very
useful when cutting Crown Moulding.
COMPOUND CUTTING (Fig. 25)
A compound cut is a combination of a Miter
and Bevel cut.
●Select the required Mitre angle as
previously described in BASIC MITER
CUTTING.
●Select the required Bevel angle as
previously described In BASIC BEVEL
CUTTING.
●Ensure the tightness of all locking screws
and conduct a ‘dry’ run before attempting to
make a cut.
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL
Before cutting any work-piece, check to see
if it is bowed. If it is bowed the work-piece
must be positioned and cut as shown.
(Fig. 26)
Do not position the work-piece incorrectly or
cut the work-piece without the support of
the fence. Always use a hold down clamp
whenever possible.
CLEARING JAMMED MATERIAL
Sometimes even the most diligent and
skilled operator may encounter problems. A
frequent problem can be ‘trapped or
jammed’ material.
●Turn machine “OFF” by releasing the
trigger switch.
●Allow the blade to come to a complete
halt.
●Unplug the machine from the mains
supply.
●Carefully remove any jammed material
from the machine.
●Check the condition and operation of the
blade guard.
●Check for any other damage to any part of
the machine e.g. the blade.
●Have any damaged parts replaced by a
competent technician and a safety
inspection carried out before using the
machine again.
SELECTING THE MOTOR SPEED
The Speed Selection Switch (Fig. 27)
located on the top rear ‘D’ handle assembly.
We recommend that the operator selects
the motor speed with reference to the table
on page 23. We also recommend that the
operator trials the machine using a piece of
unwanted material to ensure that the speed
selected gives the desired results.

THE DEPTH STOP (Fig. 28)
The downward travel of the Cutting Head
can be set so that the saw blade does not
completely cut through the work-piece. This
facility allows your Pingtek machine to cut
slots in a work-piece.
NOTE: It is advisable that the depth of cut
is checked using a scrap piece of timber to
ensure that the slot cut is correct.
NOTE: By making a cut in the work-piece,
and then repeating the cut but with the
work-piece slightly repositioned to the left or
right, it is possible to perform trenching
cuts.
To use the depth stop:
●Loosen the knurled locking nut.
●Adjust the depth stop screw to limit the
saw blades travel to the required depth.
●Once set to the desired depth, tighten the
knurled locking nut against the retaining
bracket to lock the depth stop screw and
ensure that there is no movement.
●When cutting is complete, return the depth
screw to its normal service position. This
will allow the Cutting Head to be locked in
the down position by the head latching pin.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment/cleaning
procedures with the machine disconnected
from the mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING: Only use genuine Pingtek
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine. The machine
must be disconnected from the power
