moldings, door casing and fine joinery.
Note: The crosscut blade provided is for most wood
cutting operations.
Warning: Before starting any cutting operations, clamp
or screw your compound mitre saw to a workbench.
Never operate your mitre saw on the floor or in a
crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
CROSSCUT
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90° crosscut is made with the mitre table
set at the 0° position. Mitre crosscuts are made with the
mitre table set at some other angle other than 0°.
TO CROSS CUT WITH YOUR MITRE SAW

scale (6). The mitre table can be seated in one of the
positive stop notched, located in the mitre table frame.
■ Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence
and clamp. If the concave edge of a board is placed
against the fence, the board could collapse on the
blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade. (fig. 23
& 24)
■ When cutting long piece of timber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock. Align cutting line on the
workpiece with the edge of the saw blade.
Grasp the stock firmly and secure it against the fence.
■ Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation just to make sure that no problems
will occur when the cut is made.
■ Grasp saw handle (1) firmly, then squeeze the switch
trigger (17). Allow several seconds for the blade to
reach maximum speed.
■ Use thumb to press the safety lock(2) toward the
handle.
■ Slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece.
■ Released the switch trigger and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the
workpiece.
■ Slowly move the blade upward to the highest position
and release the safety lock.
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made with the mitre table set at 0° position and
the blade bevel at an angle between 0° and 45°. (fig. 14)
Note: Capacity of bevel can be changed from 45~90/0
degree to 45~ -10 degree by adjusting the 0° allen screw

OPERATING YOUR MITRE SAW
■ Once the handle has been set at the desired angle,
securely tighten the bevel lock knob (20).
■ Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence. If
the concave edge of the board is placed against the
fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the
end of the cut, jamming the blade.
■ When cutting long pieces of timber or molding, support
the overhanging end(s) of the stock.
■ Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge
of saw blade.
■ Grasp the stock firmly and secure it against the fence.
■ Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation just to make sure that no problem
will occur when the cut is made.
■ Grasp the handle firmly, then squeeze the switch
trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach
maximum speed.
■ Use thumb to press the safety lock toward the handle.
■ Slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece.
■ Release trigger switch and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.
■ Slowly move the blade upward to the highest position
and release the safety lock.
COMPOUND CUT
A compound cut is a cut made using a mitre angle and
a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used
to make picture frames, cut moulding, make boxes with
sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts.
To make this type of cut the mitre table must be rotated
to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the
correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when
making compound mitre setups due to the interaction of
the two angle settings.
Adjustments of mitre and bevel settings are
interdependent with one another. Each time you adjust
the mitre setting you change the effect of the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you
change the effect of the mitre setting. It may take several
settings to obtain the desired cut. The first angle setting
should be checked after setting the second angle, since
adjusting the second angle affects the first.
Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have
been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap wood
before making a finish cut in good wood. (fig. 22)
TO MAKE A COMPOUND CUT WITH YOUR MITRE
SAW
■ Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full
height.
■ Loosen the mitre lock lever .
■ Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the mitre scale and securely lock the
mitre table.
Note: You can quickly locate 5° left or right on the
scale. The mitre table can be seated in one of the
positive stop notches, located in the mitre table frame.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always
lock the mitre table before making a cut. Failure to do so
could result in movement of the mitre table while making
a cut.
■ Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the handle to
the desire bevel angle.
■ Bevel angles can be set from L45deg to R10deg.
■ Align the indicator point with the desired angle.
■ Once the handle has been set at the desired angle,
securely tighten the bevel lock lever.
■ Recheck mitre angle setting. Make a test cut in a
scrap material.
■ Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the material is
warped then place the convex edge of the work piece
against the fence.
If the concave edge of the board is placed against the
fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the
end of the cut, jamming the blade.
■ When cutting long pieces of timber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
work surface level with the saw table.
■ Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge
of the saw blade.
■ Grasp the stock firmly and secure it against the fence.
■ Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation just to make sure that no problems
will occur when the cut is made.
■ Grasp the saw handle firmly, then squeeze the trigger
switch. Allow several seconds for blade to reach
maximum speed.
■ Use thumb to press the safety interlock toward the
handle.
■ Slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece.
■ Release the trigger switch and allow the saw blade to
stop rotate before raising the blade out of workpiece.
■ Slowly move the blade upward to the highest position
and release the safety lock.

OPERATING YOUR MITRE SAW
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always
keep your hands outside the no hands zone, at
least 75mm from the blade. Never perform a cutting
operation without holding the workpiece against the
fence. The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or
twists.
PLACING MOLDING FLAT ON THE MITRE TABLE
To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding
for a 90° inside or outside corner, lay the molding with
its broad back surface flat on the mitre table and against
the fence.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound
mitres, remember that the settings are interdependent,
changing on angle changes the other angle as well.
Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very
precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these
angles to shift, all settings should first be tests on a scrap
molding. Also most walls do not have angles of exactly
90° therefore, you will need to finetune your setting.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL (Fig. 23 & 24)
When cutting warped material, always make sure it is
positioned on the mitre table with convex side against
the fence.
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way , it will
pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.
WARNING: To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious
personal injury, never position the concave edge of
bowed or warped material against the fence.
LASER BEAM (Fig.25)
The light from the laser beam allows you to line up
precisely the cutting angle and the exact position of the
workpiece on the bench.
The laser beam can be switched on as required:
Press laser ON/OFF switch (26 ) to turn the laser (25).
The network cable supplies power to the laser. The laser
beam should be aligned before being used for the first
time.
■ Set table to mitre position 0°.
■ Loosen off laser-alignment screw (27) slightly.
■ Switch the laser on and align the beam so that it
points exactly at the 0°.
MANTENANCE
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of chemical solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean rags to remove dirt, carbon dust etc.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep power loss to a minimum and to prevent
tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
If the supply cord is damaged have it replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent in order to avoid a
