chips, bends, broken teeth or any other damage, the disc must be replaced with a new one. Hold the disc by the fi xing hole and
lightly hit the disc body with a plastic handle screwdriver. Hollow sound can mean a crack in the disc body, which may not be
visible to the naked eye.
Extension cords
If it is necessary to connect the product using extension cords, the cross-section of the extension cords should not be smaller than
the cross-section of the power cord supplied with the product. In the case of extension cords longer than 25 m, the cross-section
of the conductors should not be less than 1.5 mm 2 .
Residual risks
The machine has been designed and built according to good construction practices and safety principles. However, there may be
residual risks when using the product.
Health hazard related to the electric power supply due to the use of improper power cords.
Noise hazard related to failure to use hearing protection.
Residual risks can be minimised by strictly following the safety instructions.
MITRE SAW OPERATION
Lifting and locking the cutting head
Out of the box, the mitre saw cutting head is locked in its lower position. To unlock it, the locking pin must be pulled out (IX). In this
locking pin position, the cutting head can be raised and lowered freely. The spring will lift the head, but do not let go of the handle
and hold it with little resistance until the head is fully lifted.
If it is not possible to lower the head to the end of the range or if the head is lowered too far, adjust it with a screw and then lock
it with the nut (X).
When lifting and lowering the cutting head, check that the movable disc guard moves freely, exposing the circular saw while
lowering the cutting head, and automatically shields the circular saw when the cutting head is lifted. If obstructions blocking the
movement of the guard are detected, they must be removed before starting work.
Setting the longitudinal cutting (bevel) angle of the cutting head
It is possible to rotate the head in the range of +/- 45 degrees. To rotate the head, loosen the locking screw, lift and hold the
locking lever and rotate the table to the desired angle (XI). Use the scale attached to the table base to facilitate setting the head
angle (XII). The latch allows easy positioning of the head at the most common angles of longitudinal cutting (0; 15; 22.5; 31.6; 45
degrees). To do this, release the pressure on the locking lever so that it is placed in the notch on the underside of the base of the
worktable, and then tighten the locking screw. Other cutting angles can only be set by tightening the locking screw.
Caution! It is forbidden to lock the table only with the lever, always tighten the locking screw.
Setting the cross-cutting (bevel) angle of the cutting head.
It is possible to tilt the cutting head by an angle not exceeding +/- 45 degrees. Unlock the head by turning the lever (XIII), then set
it at the desired angle and secure in this position by tightening the lever. When setting up, you can use the scale on the table base.
Since it is possible to tilt the head in both directions, the tool has a special spindle which allows for quick and precise positioning
of the head in the 0 degree position. If the spindle is pushed (XIV), it is only possible to tilt the cutting head to the left between 0
and 33.5 degrees. Pulling away and rotation of the spindle (XV) allows to use the full tilt range of the head to the left and right.
By moving the spindle to the pushed position and then tilting the head to the left will result in the spring pushing the spindle. Tilting
the head to the right will cause that the extreme position will mean the setting in the 0 degree position.
Caution! After changing the angle of the cutting head, make sure that the circular saw or the cutting head does not come into
contact with obstacles during operation. Check whether the full range of the mitre saw operation can be used, without switching
the tool on. If necessary, make the required adjustments by removing obstacles.
Using the dust extraction
The mitre saw is equipped with a spigot which allows the connection of a bag supplied with the mitre saw or an external dust
extraction system. If the supplied bag is used, it should be fi xed to the spigot (XVI). The bag should be emptied each time it is full
and each time after work is fi nished.
When using an external dust extraction system, e.g. in the form of an industrial vacuum cleaner, the fl exible vacuum cleaner hose
should be connected directly or with a suitable adapter to the saw spigot. The saw is not equipped with an adapter for connecting
the hose.
Transporting the product
Transporting the mitre saw must be done in its original factory packaging. Lower the cutting head to the lowest position and secure
