USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION: Wear CE approved safety goggles at all
times, Normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glass-
es. A face or dust mask should be worn if the operation is dusty and ear protectors
(plugs or muffs) should be worn, particularly during extended periods of operation.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with power tools, avoid
contact with any earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). It is
advisable wherever possible to use an RCD (residual current device) at the mains
socket.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not oper-
ate a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY: When not in use, before servicing
and when changing accessories such as blades etc.

and disconnect it from the mains supply between jobs. Do not leave machine until it
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 authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorised 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 WORK-PIECE: Use clamps or a vice to hold the work-piece . This frees up

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 the saw.
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.

This mitre saw is double insulated; This means the operator is separated
from the tool's electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insula-
tion. This extra layer of insulation is intended to protect the user from elec-
trical shock due to a break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded (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.

MAINTENANCE….cont
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.
Caution! Water must never come into contact with the tool.

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
replace 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 electrician.
Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply;
ensure 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.

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.
down to the limit mark, see Fig.6. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in
the holders.
If they have worn down to the limit mark, purchase a set of identical replacement car-
bon brushes (both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time). Insert new
carbon brushes into the holders, connect them to the terminals, reposition the retain-
ing spring and reinstall the motor housing cap using the 2 pan head screws.

Fig. 3
Reposition the outer blade flange.
Depress the spindle lock, reposition and secure the blade bolt using the blade
wrench; Tighten the blade bolt in a counter-clockwise direction as the blade
bolt has a left hand thread.
Follow the previous instructions in reverse to refit the blade guard etc.
Caution: Always install the blade with the blade teeth pointing downwards.
The direction of the blade rotation is also stamped with an arrow on the
blade guard.
Caution: Ensure all screws / bolts are completely tight and that the blade
guard works correctly before re-using the saw.
REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly (normally after 50 hours of use). The
carbon brushes are installed inside the motor housing. Using a screwdriver, remove
the 2 pan head screws (A) Fig.4 that hold the motor housing cap in place. Once the
motor housing cap is removed, release the carbon brush (C) Fig. 5 from the holder,
lower the retaining spring (D). Disconnect the carbon brush wire from the terminal (B),
remove the carbon brush from the motor housing and inspect it. Repeat this step for
the second carbon brush. Carbon brushes need to be replaced once they wear

Note: For efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than
half full, this allows better air flow through the bag.
FITTING THE DUST COLLECTION BAG
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FITTING THE WORK-PIECE CLAMP:
Fit the dust collection bag (1) into the dust col-
lection port (2).
Note: For more efficient dust removal; The dust bag should be removed
and a separate dust extractor could be used.
The work-piece clamp (20) can be fitted to either
side of the saw blade depending on the work-
piece size and the type of cut being performed.
Slide the column of the clamp into the clamp
retainer and secure by tightening the thumb-
screw.

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 people or animals, particularly towards
the eyes.
Do not use the laser if the work-piece has 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 opera-
tor.
Always remember to switch off the laser on/off switch (25) after finishing the job;
only turn the laser beam on when the work-piece is on the mitre saw table.
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 (27) 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˚. Mitred crosscuts are made with the table set at any other angle.
Pull on the saw head release knob (26) and turn it through 90˚ to lock it “open”.
lift the operating handle (4) to its full height.
Loosen the mitre angle lock (where applicable) (14).
Rotate the mitre table until the pointer (15) aligns with the desired angle on the
scale (16).
Retighten the mitre angle lock (14).
Note: When cutting long pieces of timber use the side rail supports, if cut-
ting extra long timber, a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the
saw table should be utilised.
Warning: Do not stare into the laser beam as this is dangerous and will
damage your eyes.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CROSS-CUTTING (WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION)
Warning! Ensure the mitre lock is fully tightened before making a cut; Failure
to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause serious
personal injury, and damage the work-piece / saw.

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 sliding rail lock (27); push the saw head back as far as it will go and
re-tighten the sliding rail lock (27).
Loosen the mitre angle lock (14); turn the main table until the positive stop for 0°
engages and the mitre angle pointer (15) is close to 0°.
Re-tighten the mitre angle lock (14).
If the mitre angle pointer (15) 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 saw head release
(26).
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.

ing.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
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.
Set the required angles etc. and proceed to cut as explained earlier in this manual.
