Compound mitre cuts:
• A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time . It is used
to make picture frames, cut mouldings, make boxes and sloping sides, and for roof framing
• Always make a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting the workpiece
• If making a compound mitre cut, set the required bevel angle (see 'Adjusting the bevel angle')
and mitre angle (see 'Adjusting the mitre angle') first, then proceed to cutting
Chop cuts:
• These cuts are used for cutting small or narrow pieces/sections of material
• The cutting head is gently pushed down to cut through the secured workpiece
• The Slide Rails Mechanism (12) should be locked in place at the rearmost position on the Slide
Rails (41)
Slide cuts:
• The saw's Slide Rail (41) system allows the saw to make slide cuts
• To completely free up the cutting head, allowing it to glide smoothly, loosen the Slide Rail
Locking Knob (30)
• During the cut, the Blade (36) is lowered into the workpiece then pushed back to the rear of the
Blade Channel (6) to complete the cut
• Use slide cuts for cutting wider pieces of material (see 'Specifications' for maximum workpiece
sizes)
Making a cut:
1. With the saw disconnected from the mains power, ensure the required settings—such as mitre
angle and bevel angle—are set and locked on the saw
2. Place the workpiece flat on the Mitre Table (42) with one edge securely against the Fence
(14 & 4)
Note:
• If the board is warped, place the convex side against the Fence (Fig . IV)
• If the concave side is placed against the Fence, the board could break and jam the Blade
• Use the Workpiece Clamp (38) (see 'Fitting the Workpiece Clamp') on either side of the cutting
head where necessary to secure the workpiece
• Use the Workpiece Supports (15) (see 'Adjusting the workpiece supports') if necessary to help
stabilise longer workpieces
3 . Perform a dry run with the cutting head on the workpiece, ensuring the cutting head is free to
move up and down, and free to glide smoothly on the Slide Rails (41)
4 . Connect the saw to mains power
5. Hold the Operating Handle (7) firmly and squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (24)
6 . Allow the Blade (36) to reach maximum speed, then press the Blade Guard Safety Latch (8) and
slowly lower the Blade into and through the workpiece, allowing the speed of the Blade to do all
the work (there should be no need to apply undue pressure on the Handle)
7. When the cut is completed, release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch then allow the Blade to stop
completely before raising the cutting head
8 . Remove the workpiece only when the Blade is completely stopped and the Blade Guard (1) has
completely retracted to cover all of the Blade's teeth
Accessories
• A full range of accessories including saw blades, additional clamps and personal protective
equipment is available from your Silverline stockist
• Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline .com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the tool is unplugged from mains power before adjusting,
changing or calibrating any of the tool's parts, or performing any maintenance or cleaning the tool .
Bevel angle adjustment
Checking 0° angle
• Ensure the cutting head is down and locked with the Cutting Head Latching Pin (28) so that the
Blade (36) is in the Blade Channel (6)
• Set the bevel angle to 0° (see 'Adjusting the bevel angle')
• Raise the cutter head by releasing the latching pin, then check that the bevel is still set to 0°
• Place a set square on the table with one short edge against the Mitre Table (42) and the other
short edge against the Blade (avoiding the saw teeth)
Note: If the Blade is not square (90°) with the Mitre Table, adjustment and calibration is required.

Changing 0° angle
• Loosen the Bevel Locking Knob (29) and set the bevel angle to 0°
• Check the 0° angle by using a square against the surface of the Blade (36) and the Mitre Table
(42)
• Set the bevel angle to 45°
• Loosen the Bevel Stop/Calibration Screw (31) locking nut (Image R)
• Raise or lower the Screw by rotating clockwise/anticlockwise using the 4mm Hex Key (20)
(Image R)
• Recheck the 0° angle using a square
• Once 0° angle is achieved, tighten the Bevel Stop/Calibration Screw nut to secure the Screw
in place
Checking 45° angle
• After calibrating the bevel gauge to true 0°, set the bevel angle to 45° and check the Bevel Angle
Indicator (43) matches the Bevel Angle Gauge (22)
• Use an appropriate tool to measure and check the 45° bevel angle of the Blade (36) (Image S)
• If the tool is out and not true 45°, consult a qualified Silverline service technician
Mitre angle 90° adjustment
The major adjustment of the mitre angle 0° position is achieved by altering the Fixed Fence (14)
position .
1 . Set the mitre angle to 0° (See 'Adjusting the mitre angle') according to the Mitre Gauge (17) and
the Mitre Angle Indicator (16)
2 . Remove the Sliding Fence (4)
3 . Lower the cutting head and lock in place with the Cutting Head Latching Pin (28) so that the
Blade (36) is in the Blade Channel (6)
4. Use a set square to check the 90° angle between the Fixed Fence (14) and the Blade (Image T)
5. If the Fence is not square with the Blade, loosen the Fence Alignment Screws (35) and make
minor adjustments until the Fixed Fence is 90° square on both sides of the Blade (Image U)
6 . Retighten the Fence Alignment Screws
7 . Release the Cutting Head Latching Pin and allow the cutter head to return to the raised position
Replacing the throat plate
IMPORTANT: If the Throat Plate (44) is damaged or heavily worn, it must be replaced to ensure safe
operation of the tool .
1 . Remove the Fence (14) and Sliding Fence (4) from the Mitre Table (42)
2 . Set the cutter head bevel to 45°
3 . Unscrew the Throat Plate (44) screws and remove the Throat Plate (Image V)
4. Clean the Blade Channel (6) and fit the new Throat Plate
5 . Retighten Throat Plate screws
6. Refit the Fence ensuring it is 90° square with the Blade (36) (see 'Mitre angle 90° adjustment')
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws and bolts are tight
• Inspect the tool's Power Cord (25) prior to each use, for damage or wear . Repairs should be
carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre . This advice also applies to extension cords
used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life . Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush or dry cloth .
If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent . Do not use alcohol, petrol
or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
• Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
• Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the Brush Access Covers (10) from both sides of the motor (Image
W) . Remove the worn brushes and replace with new (Image X), then replace the covers
• Alternatively, have the tool serviced at an authorised Silverline service centre
Note: Always replace carbon brushes in pairs .
