Elu PS374 Manual De Instrucciones página 29

For example, if you measure the corner of an 8 sided box, the protractor
will read 135°. To determine the proper mitre setting, divide the measured
angle by two. The proper mitre setting in this example is 67
angle on the 90° scale.
Vernier scale (fig. P1 - P3)
Your saw is equipped with a vernier scale for added precision. For settings

that require partial degrees ( /
accurately set mitre angles to the nearest
vernier scale follow the steps listed below.
As an example, assume that the angle you want to mitre is 24
• Turn OFF the mitre saw.
• Set the mitre angle to the nearest whole degree desired by aligning the
centre mark in the vernier scale, shown in (fig. P1), with the whole
degree number etched in the mitre scale. Examine (fig. P1) closely;
the setting shown is 24° right mitre.

• To set the additional / °, squeeze the mitre arm lock and carefully

move the arm to the right until the
closest degree mark on the mitre scale.
In this example, the closest degree mark on the mitre scale happens to
be 25°. Fig. P2 shows a setting of 24
When mitring to the right:
- increase the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate
vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the right.
- decrease the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate
vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the left.
When mitring to the left:
- increase the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate
vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the left.
- decrease the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate
vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the right.
Cutting base mouldings (fig. Q1 - Q4)
Vertical position
• Always make a dry run without power before making any cuts.
Straight 90° cuts (fig. Q1)
• Position the wood against the fence as shown in fig. Q1.
• Turn the saw ON, allow the blade to reach full speed and lower the arm
smoothly through the cut.
45° mitre cuts (fig. Q2)
• Position the moulding as shown in fig. Q2.
• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding against the fence and
the bottom of the moulding against the base.

Grooving (fig. R)
Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop (22) and thumbscrew (21) to
allow for groove cutting.
• Flip the grooving stop (22) towards the front of the saw.
• Adjust the thumbscrew (21) to set the depth of the groove cut.
Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.
These include various saw blades, extension kits (EZ7080), adjustable
length stops (EZ7051), vertical clamps (EZ7082), crown stops (EZ7084)
and dustbags (EZ7053).
Transport (fig. A1, A2 & B)
In order to conveniently carry your saw, a carrying handle (9) has been
included on the top of the saw arm (fig. B).
• To transport the saw (fig. B), lower the arm and depress the lock down
pin (16) (fig. A1).
• Mitre the saw 60° to the right, lock the mitre lever (4), lock the rail lock
knob (20) with the head fully forward, slide the fences (7) completely
inward and lock the bevel lever (11) with the saw at 0° bevel.
• Always use the carrying handle (18) and/or the handholds (24) (fig. A2)
to transport the saw.
Maintenance
Your Elu Power Tool has been designed to operate over a long period of
time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Lubrication
Your Power Tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing with
a soft cloth.
