comes to a complete stop.
DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never carry the tool by the mains lead or pull it to re-
move the plug from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid unwanted hazards.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect its opera-
tion. A guard or other part that is damaged should be correctly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service agent. Do not use the tool
if the switch does not turn it on and off.
KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE: And in full working order.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE: Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. All extension
cables must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if damaged. Always keep
the hand grip on the tool clean, dry and free of oil and grease.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual for recommended
accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories. The use of im-
proper accessories may cause hazards and will invalidate any warranty you may
have.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES: Form a habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before every use.
SECURE THE WORKPIECE: Use clamps or a vice to hold the work-piece . This frees up
both hands to operate the tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Do not use the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL: It will do the job better and more safely at the rate which it
was designed.
DO NOT OPERATE POWER TOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES: Do not use the tool in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, dust or other combustible sources. Power
tools may create sparks which can ignite the dust or fumes.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR USE IT IN WET CONDITIONS: Water entering a
power tool will greatly increase the risk of electric shock.
HAVE YOUR TOOL REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The tool is in accordance with the
relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons
using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.

Use only the blade flange specified for this tool.
Be careful not to damage the arbor, flange (especially the installing surface).
Damage to these parts could result in blade breakage. And / or operator injury.
Make sure that the table base is properly secured so it will not move during op-
eration.
For your safety; remove the chippings and work debris etc. from the table top
and from inside the extraction port before each operation.
Avoid cutting nails / screws etc.; Remove all obstructions from the work-piece
before cutting.
Make sure that all keys and wrenches are removed before switching on the
saw.
Be sure that the blade does not come into contact with the table and / or table
insert when the blade is in operation.
Keep hands out of path of saw blade, never reach around saw blade.
Make sure the blade is clear of the work-piece before the switch is turned on.
Before making the first cut using the saw, turn the blade by hand to ensure noth-
ing is catching, then turn the saw on and let it run for a while; Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.
Adjust or replace as necessary.
Allow the blade to run up to full speed before cutting.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
Wait for the saw blade to stop completely and remove from mains supply be-
fore servicing or adjusting tool.
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don't
be lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
Use of improper accessories such as abrasive wheels may cause damage to
the saw and surrounding area as well as increasing the risk of injury.
Turn off the saw and wait for it to complete stop before moving work-piece or
changing settings.
Do not modify the saw to do tasks other than those intended.
Do not perform any operation freehand. The work-piece must be secured firmly
against the base and guide fence with the clamp during all operations; Using
your hand may cause severe injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: The laser beam can potentially cause severe eye damage.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS...cont
This laser complies with class 2 according to EN 60825-1:2007.
The unit includes no servicing components. Do not open the housing for any
reason. If the unit is faulty/damaged, have it repaired/replaced by an author-
ized repair agent.
Do not stare directly at the laser beam, never aim the beam at any person or
an object other than the work-piece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not di-
rected towards the eye of a person.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work-piece without reflective
surfaces. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
surfaces are not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the
beam back at the operator.
Always remember to switch off the laser on/off switch (2) after finishing a job,
only turn the laser beam on when the work-piece is on the mitre saw table.
This mitre saw is double insulated; This means the operator is separated
from the tool's electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insu-
lation. This extra layer of insulation is intended to protect the user from
electrical shock due to a break in the wiring insulation. All exposed met-
al parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be ground-
ed (earthed). Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a
suitably qualified person.
When using the saw always ensure the operator as well as those in the
area wear ear protection.
When using the saw always ensure the operator as well as those in the
area wear eye protection.
Some wood and wood composites have the potential to be highly tox-
ic; always wear a face mask when operating saw.

Caution: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can
not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This saw is fitted with a standard UK type 230v ~ plug. Before using the tool inspect the
cable and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have
the tool inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace
the plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would be preferable.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal marked
with N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal, which is
marked L or coloured red.
Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the ca-
ble in the cord grip carefully.
Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the
correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always re-
place the fuse with the same value as the original.
Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit
an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt consult a qualified electri-
cian.
Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply; en-
sure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.
Note: The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is
of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.
This mitre saw is double insulated. This means the operator is separated from
the tool's electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insulation.

MAINTENANCE….cont
As well as oiling the moving parts regularly, the grease in the gearbox will require re-
placement after extensive use of the saw. Refer to an authorised service agent to pro-
vide this service.
Caution! Water must never come into contact with the tool.
GENERAL INSPECTION:
Cleaning and maintenance of this saw is mainly common sense some points for
guidance are as follows:
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight, particularly the outer flange.
They may vibrate loose over time.
The mains lead of the saw and any extension cord used should be checked
frequently for damage. If damaged, have the mains lead replaced by an au-
thorised service facility. Replace the extension cord if necessary.
Keep the air vents of the saw clear at all times.
After each use brush off any wood chippings with a soft brush. Pay special at-
tention to the inside of the dust extraction port (where the dust bag fits to the
saw) as this is where there will be a large build up if left for extended periods.
The motor of the saw should be cleared of any wood chippings as there would
be a risk of fire if they are allowed to build up over time (a soft brush or dry air
could be used to clear the motor).
Empty the bag at least after each use; the bag should be emptied before it
gets half full to ensure its efficiency. There is a zip on the bag to allow for easy
disposal of wood chippings.
Ensure the blade guard is kept clean with a damp cloth (do not clean the
guard or any part of the saw with a corrosive solvent) to reduce the risk of injury.
Periodically oil all the moving parts on the saw to extend the life of the saw.
Inspect the carbon brushes (in the motor) at frequent intervals (depending on
the amount of use) and change them if the wear reaches the worn limit line or
is below 10mm, they should also be checked to ensure that the brushes move
in and out easily.

MAINTENANCE
CHECKING AND SETTING THE MITRE ANGLE:
This saw is set up at the factory and should need no adjustment; however time and
careless use can affect the angles and some adjustment may be required.
Loosen the slide lock (29); push the saw head back as far as it will go and re-
tighten the slide lock (29).
Loosen the mitre lock (25); turn the main table until the positive stop for 0° en-
gages and the angle guide pointer is close to 0°.
Re-tighten the mitre lock.
If the pointer is not exactly set to 0° loosen the screw and turn the pointer until it
is.
Loosen the 4 (2 on each side of the saw) rear fence locking bolts and lower the
blade to its lowest point; lock the saw head down with the release knob (6).
Place a square against the blade and rear fence and adjust the fence until an
angle of exactly 90° is achieved.
Proceed to tighten the rear fence locking bolts whilst ensuring that an angle of
90° is maintained.

CHECKING AND SETTING THE BEVEL ANGLE:
Loosen the slide lock (29); push the saw head back as far as it will go and re-
tighten the slide lock (29).
Loosen the mitre lock (25); turn the main table until the positive stop for 0° en-
gages and the angle guide pointer shows 0°.
Re-tighten the mitre lock.
Warning! Always ensure that the saw is turned off and that the plug is disconnected
from the mains supply before carrying out any adjustments, repairs or maintenance.

A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same
time. It is used in making picture frames, to cut mouldings, making boxes with sloping
sides and for roof framing. It is a good idea to make a test cut on a piece of scrap
wood before cutting into the good material. Use the slide action when cutting wide
work-pieces.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
USING THE DEPTH STOP:
Slide the depth stop bracket to the right to engage the depth stop.
Loosen the lock-nut.
Adjust screw to the required depth.
Once set to the desired depth; Tighten the lock-nut against the retaining brack-
et to lock the depth stop and ensure there is no movement due to vibration etc.
Function:
Once the depth stop is set; the blade will not cut all the way through the work-piece
(depending on the depth that it is set to). This will allow the operator to easily cut slots
out of the work-piece if used in conjunction with the sliding function of the saw, it is
advisable to check the cut depth on a scrap piece of wood.
Make a cut as explained in the main instruction manual then raise the main saw head
above the work-piece. Move the work-piece (left or right) slightly and make another
cut until the desired amount of wood is removed and the slot is complete.
Note: It may be necessary to clean the slot with a sharp chisel or by sand-
ing.

Do not stare directly at the laser beam, never aim the beam at any person or
an object other than the work-piece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not di-
rected towards the eye of a person.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work-piece without reflective
surfaces. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
surfaces are not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the
beam back at the operator.
Always remember to switch off the laser on/off switch (2) after finishing a job,
only turn the laser beam on when the work-piece is on the mitre saw table.
Warning: Do not stare into the laser beam as this is dangerous and will
damage your eyes.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the work-piece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence
(18).
Turn on the laser by pressing the laser On/Off switch (2).
Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the work-piece.
CROSS-CUTTING (WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION):
Note: When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not necessary to use the
slide mechanism. In these cases ensure that the saw head is pushed back
and the slide lock (29) is tight to prevent the saw arm from sliding.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the work-piece, a 90˚ crosscut is made with the
mitre table set at 0˚. Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at any other angle.
Pull on the release knob (6) and turn it through 90˚ to lock it “open”
lift the saw arm (5) to its full height.
Loosen the mitre lock (25).
Rotate the mitre table (21) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.
Retighten the mitre lock (25).
Warning! Be sure to tighten the mitre lock before making a cut. Failure to do
so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause serious per-
sonal injury.

MAKING A BEVEL CUT:
MAKING A MITRE CUT:
A bevel cut of up to 45° (to the left or to the right) can be achieved by using the fol-
lowing method:
Loosen the bevel lock handle (16) which is situated at the rear of the saw.
Pull the positive stop knob (39) whilst pushing the saw head to the left or right,
depending on the angle required.
A mitred angle of 45° left or right can be obtained using the following method.
Loosen the mitre lock (25).
Turn the table until the desired angle is indicated by the mitre scale (22).
Note: A compound mitre cut can also be performed by adjusting both
angles (bevel and mitre) away from 90°
MAKING A COMPOUND MITRE CUT:
Note: The positive stop knob (39) will stop the saw head at popular angles
15°, 30° & 45° left and right when released, but any angle between 0 and
45 can be selected by locking the bevel lock.
Use the bevel scale (17) and pointer to set the head to the desired angle.
Tighten the bevel lock handle (16) to secure the head at the desired angle.
Follow the previous instructions to perform the cut depending on the dimensions of
the work-piece (see “cross cut with sliding action” or “cross cut without sliding action”).
Tighten the mitre lock (25) to hold the desired angle.
Follow the previous instructions to perform the cut depending on the dimensions of
the work-piece (see “cross cut with sliding action” or “cross cut without sliding action”).
Note: The mitre angle guide has positive stops at popular angles 15°,
22.5°, 30° & 45° left and right, but any angle between 0 and 45 can be
selected by tightening the mitre lock (25).
