4.2 Attaching the Dust Collection Bag
Locate the dust port on the saw. Securely attach the dust collection bag to this port. Ensure it is firmly attached to prevent dust leakage during operation.
4.3 Adjusting Table Extensions
The saw is equipped with adjustable table extensions to support longer workpieces. Pull out the extensions to the desired length and secure them. This provides stability and safety when cutting larger materials.

5. Operating Instructions
Always ensure the saw is unplugged before making any adjustments or changing blades.
5.1 Powering On/Off
Connect the saw to a suitable power outlet. To start the saw, press the ON button. To stop, release the ON button; the electric brake will quickly stop the blade.
5.2 Using the Laser and LED Light
The integrated laser provides a visual guide for your cut line, enhancing accuracy. The LED light illuminates the workpiece, improving visibility, especially in dimly lit areas. Activate these features using their respective switches, typically located near the blade housing.

5.3 Adjusting Miter Angle
To perform miter cuts, adjust the turntable to the desired angle between -45° and +45°. Loosen the locking knob, rotate the table, and then tighten the knob to secure the angle. Always ensure the table is firmly locked before cutting.

5.4 Adjusting Bevel Angle
For bevel cuts, the saw head can be tilted. Loosen the bevel lock, tilt the saw head to the desired angle between 0° and +45°, and then secure the lock. This allows for angled cuts through the thickness of the material.

5.5 Making a Cut
Position the workpiece firmly against the fence and secure it with the clamp. Lower the blade slowly into the material, allowing the saw to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Use a steady, controlled motion. For radial cuts, pull the saw head forward, lower the blade, and push it back through the material.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your saw. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the saw to remove dust and debris. Use a brush or compressed air. Ensure the blade guard and ventilation slots are clear.
- Blade Inspection: Regularly check the saw blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can cause kickback and poor cut quality. Replace blades as needed. The saw comes with a 40T blade.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts as indicated in the full product manual (if applicable).
- Storage: Store the saw in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. The compact design allows for efficient storage, even close to a wall.
