and check the squareness of the blade with the saw table.
5. If the saw blade does not completely come into contact with
the end of the square:
• Slide the extension of the right to guide to the
exterior.
• Loosen the locking nuts (A) Fig.9 (located
on each side of the bevel handle of the
saw head) to release the two bolts (B).
• Loosen the bevel locking handle
(C) of the saw head and pull the adjustment knob (D)
towards yourself.
• Place the square against the saw table.
• Adjust the two bolts (B) for adjusting the bevel
until the two ends of the square
are in contact with the blade and the table.
• Tighten the bevel locking handle
(C) and the speed nuts (A).
• Check the squareness of the blade in
relation to the saw table.
6. Make sure the bevel angle indicator (B) Fig.8 is aligned with 0°.
2. ADJUSTING THE BEVEL OF THE SAW HEAD AND THE STOP
You can incline the head of your machine from 0° to 45° to the right
and to the left.
1. To adjust the bevel, loosen the
bevel locking handle (A) Fig.10 at the rear of the
saw.
2. To tilt the saw head to the left, unlock the
lock handle (A) and then tilt the saw head from 0° to 45°
with the aid of the handle.
When correctly adjusted, tighten this handle.
3. To tilt the saw head to the right, unlock the
handle (A) and pull the pin (B) to release the bevel angle,
then tilt the saw head from 0° to 45° until you reach
the desired bevel angle with the help of the handle (A). Once a
djusted,tighten the handle firmly.
NOTE: The bevel angle indicator should be aligned with the 45° mark on each side of the scale when the handle (A) is com-
pletely loose and the saw head is tilted completely to the right or left.
3. ATTACHING THE SAW TO A SURFACE
Before use, the saw should be firmly attached to a level surface.
1. Four holes are located at the ends of the saw base to attach it to a workbench or other support surface.
2. If you use side extensions, install them before you mount the saw on the support surface.
3. If the saw is moved frequently, mount it on a plywood base (with a thickness of at least 20 mm) so that you can attach it
by clamping it to any support surface.
Y
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of unexpected movement of the saw:
- Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
- Lock the saw head in the down position and secure the sliding bar before transporting the mitre saw.
- Carry the mitre saw close to your body to avoid getting back pain. Bend your knees when you lift the saw.
- Carry the saw by the carrying handle if there is one or by the base. Do not carry the saw by the cord or starting han
dle. Carrying the saw by the cord may damage the insulation or electrical connections and thus produce an electric
shock or start a fire.
- Place the saw in a low traffic area where people cannot circulate or sit. Woody debris thrown by the saw could injure
people situated around the machine.
- Attach the saw to a sturdy level surface so that it does not tip over.
