SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The term “power tool” in the warning refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
RIÁDPPDEOHOLTXLGVJDVHVRUGXVW 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.
Unmodified 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.
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. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
DSRZHUWRRO'RQRWXVHDSRZHUWRROZKLOH\RXDUHWLUHGRUXQGHUWKHLQÁXHQFH
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
E8VHVDIHW\HTXLSPHQW$OZD\VZHDUH\HSURWHFWLRQSafety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or spanner before turning the power tool on. A spanner

TITAN 210MM SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW TTB236MSW
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 these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
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 off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
HEALTH ADVICE
Warning! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).You are
advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working with and to
reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
-Work in a well-ventilated area.
-Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter microscopic particles.

TITAN 210MM SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW TTB236MSW
Safety instructions for all saws
a. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second
hand on the handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth
of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
f. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
Further safety instructions for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
− kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
− when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
− if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf
and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
D0DLQWDLQD UPJULSZLWKERWKKDQGVRQWKHVDZDQGSRVLWLRQ\RXUDUPVWRUHVLVW
kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with
the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the
trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and

TITAN 210MM SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW TTB236MSW
check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may
walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d. Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on
both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g. Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Safety instructions for saws
a. Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the
saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c. Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge
cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise the lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
GRZQRQEHQFKRUÁRRUAn unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after switch is released.

24. Never stand on this tool. Serious injuries could occur when this tool tips over
or when coming in contact with the saw blade.
WARNING: the operation of any mitre saw can result in foreign objects being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning
power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shield and a
full face shield when needed.
Warning: If any parts are missing, do not operate your mitre saw until the
missing parts are replaced. Failure to follow this rule could result in serious
personal injury.
Caution: Do not let familiarity with your mitre saw make you careless. Remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to cause severe injury.
Double insulation:
The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically
insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool
to be earthed.
Important note
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The tool is fitted
with a two-core cable and plug. Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out
any adjustment or servicing.

damage the machine.
1. MOUNTING THE SAW
The saw must be stable and not move about in
operation. Before use, the saw must be fixed to
a stable bench. Fixing holes are incorporated in
each foot of the base. Put the machine on a flat,
stable bench and drill through the four fixing holes
using a suitable sized drill bit. Bolt the mitre saw to
the bench with suitable sized bolts which should
be secured on the underside with a washer, nut
and a locknut.
2. RELEASING THE SAW HEAD (see fig. 9)
When you first open the box you will find that
the saw head is locked in the down position for
transportation purposes. To release the head
ready for operation apply downward pressure and
pull out the lock pin (1), and then turn 90° left or
right to lock it in place. The head will now be free
to be raised gently to the upper position.
3. STARTING THE SAW (see fig. 10)
Connect the machine to a mains power supply.
Make sure that the mains cable cannot become
entangled in any part of the machine and is clear
of the blade and machine table. Push down the
lock lever (1) and squeeze the trigger switch (2) to
turn the saw ON. Release the trigger switch to turn
the saw OFF. Always allow the motor to reach full
speed before attempting to make a cut .
4. TO MAKE A CUT (see fig. 11)

5. SLIDING CARRIAGE SYSTEM
Your machine is equipped with a sliding carriage.
For chop cutting operations on small workpieces,
slide the cutting head assembly completely to the
rear of the unit and tighten the carriage lock knob.
(see fig. 12)
To cut wide boards up to 305mm, the carriage
lock knob must be loosened to allow the cutting
head to slide freely. (see fig. 13)
SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS
1) Unlock the slide carriage and allow the cutting
head to slide freely.
2) Set the mitre and bevel angles as required.
3) Clamp the workpiece in position.
4) Grasp the handle and pull the carriage forwards
until the centre of the saw blade is over the front
of the workpiece.
5) Switch the saw on and when it reaches full
speed push the handle down, slowly cutting
through the leading edge of the workpiece.
6) Slowly move the cutting head rearwards to
complete the cut.
7) Release the trigger and wait for the blade to
stop before allowing the cutting head to rise to its
upper position.
CAUTION
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 workpiece,
causing the cutting head to kick back, forcefully.
The cutting head should always be drawn back
completely before attempting to make a cut.
When the cutting head is in position the saw can
be switched on and the cutting head lowered and
pushed forwards to make a cut.

5. MITRE CUT (see fig. 14)
The machines table can be turned through 45° left
or right from the normal cross-cut (0° position) to
make a mitre cut. This mitre saw is also equipped
with mitre indents (1) for fast and accurate setting
of common mitre angles (Left and Right 45°, 30°,
22.5°, 15°)
1). Loosen the table lock handle by turning it
anti-clockwise.
2). Move the saw to the desired angle by pressing
the index lock lever (2) and pushing the table
lock handle (3) so that the table turns. Set at
the desired angle, and tighten the lock handle
by turning it clockwise to lock the table into the
required position.
6. BEVEL CUT USING THE HEAD TILT
(see fig. 15)
A bevel cut is made with the table set at 0°
mitre. The cutting head of the saw can be moved
from the normal 90° (perpendicular position)
to a maximum angled position of 45° from the
horizontal, on the left hand side only.
Loosen the bevel lock lever (1) and tilt the saw
head to the left, until the desired angle is reached
on the bevel scale (2). Re-tighten the bevel lock
lever (1) and make your cut.
7. COMPOUND CUT (see fig. 16)
A compound cut is a cut requiring both a mitre
setting and a bevel setting. Compound mitre
cuts can be achieved by setting both the mitre
and bevel angles simultaneously. Follow the
procedures for mitre and bevel cuts to achieve the
desired angles.
8. SUPPORTNG LONG WORKPIECES
The free end of a long workpiece should be
supported at the same height as the machine
table. The operator should consider using a
remote workpiece support in addition to the table
extension rods if thought necessary.

MAINTENANCE
Warning: Before making any
adjustments, or carrying out
maintenance to the saw, make sure that
it is disconnected from the mains supply.
When all adjustments, settings or maintenance
have been completed, make sure that all keys
or wrenches have been removed, and that all
VFUHZVEROWVDQGRWKHU WWLQJVDUHVHFXUHO\
tightened.
PRECISION SETTING OF ANGLES
The machine has been factory set, however it is
advisable that the 0° setting of the rotary table and
the 90° perpendicular setting of the cutting head
be checked, as these positions may have moved
in transit.
To confirm the 0° rotary table setting, set the rotary
table at 0° and tighten the rotary table lock handle.
Use an engineers square (not supplied) to check
that the angle between the machines fence guide
and the blade is 90° (see fig. 17). If the angle
requires adjustment, loosen the four fence guide
clamp screws (1) and align the fence guide against
the engineers square. Retighten the clamp screws.
Similarly check that the angle of the saw blade to
the face of the table is 90° (see fig. 18).
If adjustment is required, slightly loosen the bevel
lock level (1) and locknut (2). Use a suitable hex
key screw the 90° adjustment screw (2) clockwise
or counter clockwise until correct alignment has
been achieved. Retighten the locknut (2) and the
bevel lock lever (1).
The 45° bevel setting can also be adjusted. Set
the cutting head to 45° and check the angle
between the blade and the machine table with a
45° set square (not provided). To adjust, slightly
loosen the bevel lock lever (1) and the 45°
adjusting screw locknut (2) (see fig. 19). Use a
suitable hex key and turn the adjusting screw (3)
clockwise or counter clockwise until the correct
alignment is achieved. Retighten the locknut (2)
and the bevel lock lever (1).
The position of bevel scale pointer may have
moved in transit or after use. Use a screwdriver to
adjust it if necessary.

CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
Warning: Disconnect the saw from
the power supply.
Engage the arbor lock and loosen and remove the
blade securing bolt and outer blade flange using a
suitable hex key (see fig. 20 & 21).
NOTE: The blade securing bolt has a left hand
thread. We recommend that the operator
considers wearing a pair of protective gloves when
handling or changing the blade.
Clean any sawdust and debris from the arbor and
the saw blade securing flanges.
To refit the blade, follow the above procedure in
reverse order. Refit blade as shown (see fig. 22).
Ensure that the arbor lock is disengaged once the
blade is correctly fitted.
MOVING THE SAW
When transporting the saw between locations
make sure that:
1) The saw head is locked in the down position.
2) The rotary table lock handle, the tilt head
clamping knob and the slide locking lever are all
securely tightened.
3) Use the transportation handle cut-outs on either
side of the machine base to lift the saw. Do not lift
the saw by the switch handle alone.
