9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9.1 Transporting the mitre saw
To transport the power tool, use the retaining pin (16).
Pull the mitre saw downwards and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in the retaining
pin. That way, the saw is secured.
9.2 Dust and chip extraction
For integrated dust extraction, place the dust bag (15) on the sawdust outlet.
For external dust, you can use a vacuum cleaner hose.
The dust bag is only for a partial dust removal!
9.3 Clamping the work piece
Make sure the work piece can’t be catapulted. The clamp (4) is the most perfect gadget to
avoid this.
▪ Press the work piece against the fence (5) and between the clamp
▪ Tighten the clamp (4) clockwise to secure the work piece.
9.4 Horizontal mitre angle
▪ Loosen the turntable lock screw (29).
▪ To adjust the turntable (7), squeeze the trigger underneath the locking handle (21) and
hold it.
▪ Turn the turntable and scale pointer (22) to the desired angular setting on the dial (6) and
lock into place with the locking handle (21) and tighten the turntable lock screw (29).
9.5 Adjusting of the cutting angle
The angle gauges are set at the factory, but we recommend that for precision work you check
and if necessary calibrating them as follows.
▪ 90° bevel angle: Lock the upper arm in its lowered position by the retaining pin (16), and
set bevel and mitre angles to 0° on the angle gauges. Place a try square at the side of the
saw blade and table fence (5), if the mitre angle is not 90° bevel angle, achieve the right
angle by loosen the lock button for the angle adjustment and the 2 fence screws, adjust
the alignment of the fence in relation to the saw blade end re-tighten the 2 fence screws.
9.6 Vertical bevel angle (Fig. 1)
The vertical bevel angle can be set in the range of 0° to 45°. The vertical bevel scale shows
the currently set in degrees.
▪ Loosen the locking lever (19), if tightened.
▪ Swing the tool arm with the handle to the required angle.
▪ Tighten the locking lever (19).
▪ Place a protractor at the side of the saw blade and table, if the angle is not 45° bevel
angle. Adjusting the height of the adjustment screw until the bevel angle is the correct
angle. Finally tighten the nut and check the angle once more.
9.7 Switching ON / OFF
For your safety use both hands to switch the power tool on and off.
▪ Connect the power tool to the power supply.
▪ Unlock the lock-off button and depress the on/off switch (10) in the direction of the handle.
The saw blade rotates as long as you keep the switch engaged.
