• Mitre Adjustment: Loosen the mitre lock knob. Rotate the movable base to the desired angle (up to 45° adjustable). The saw features positive stops at 9 settings for common angles (right/left). Tighten the lock knob to secure the angle.
• Bevel Adjustment: For bevel cuts, adjust the saw head tilt. This model supports bevel cuts from 0-45° to the left. Loosen the bevel lock, tilt the saw head to the desired angle, and then tighten the lock.

Making a Cut

1. Position the workpiece firmly against the fence and secure it with the working clamp.
2. Ensure the blade is clear of the workpiece before starting the motor.
3. Press the On/Off switch to start the motor. Allow the blade to reach full speed before beginning the cut.
4. Slowly lower the saw blade through the workpiece, applying steady, even pressure.
5. Once the cut is complete, release the On/Off switch and allow the blade to stop completely before raising the saw head.
6. Remove the cut workpiece and clear any sawdust.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your mitre saw.

• Cleaning: After each use, unplug the saw and use a brush or compressed air to remove sawdust from the motor vents, blade guard, and base. Empty the dust collecting bag regularly.
• Blade Care: Keep the saw blade clean and sharp. A dull blade can cause kickback and strain the motor. Replace damaged or warped blades immediately.
• Carbon Brushes: Periodically inspect the carbon brushes for wear. Replace them when they are worn down to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) or if the motor performance decreases. Refer to the Carbon Brush Cover for access.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coat of machine oil to moving parts and pivot points as needed to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: Store the saw in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
