with the pin. Turn the table by 45 degrees, in accordance with the arrangement of the polystyrene mouldings in the packaging.
Remove the worktable locking screw.
If the saw is to be moved over short distances, e.g. to change the workstation, the saw must fi rst be secured by lowering and
locking the head, securing the movement of the horizontal cutter guide and the rotation of the head in both cutting planes. Always
transport the mitre saw disconnected from the power supply. The power cord must be unplugged from the socket.
If the saw is equipped with a transport handle, use it to carry the tool over short distances. Before using the handle, make sure
that the head has been secured in its lower position and its movement along the guides and position in both cutting planes has
been locked.
Laser pointer
The saw has a laser pointer, which shows the cutting line on the workpiece attached to the table. The pointer is activated with an
independent switch. Position: O - indicates that the pointer is off , position: I - indicates that the pointer is on. Do not look at the
laser beam emission source, as it may cause temporary or permanent damage to eyesight.
Cutting with the mitre saw
There are three types of sawing possible. Cutting while the head is moving down or cutting while the lowered and locked head
moves horizontally. The third type is the plunge cutting, where the head is lowered to a pre-set height, held in this position and
then moved horizontally.
Each time the head is moved to a new position, a simulated cut without connecting the saw to the power supply should be made.
Check that the circular saw does not come into contact with the table, retaining plate or any other part other than the workpiece
Full lifting of the head will trigger an additional lock to prevent unintentional lowering of the head. The head can only be lowered
after pulling the lock away (XVII).
In case of cutting where the cutting head will be moved downwards, the cutting head should be set in the position ensuring that
the nominal cutting range is reached. Check that the cut depth stop retaining plate is raised (XVIII). Loosen the guide screw (XIX),
move the head so that the latch (XX) can be hooked in, and then tighten the head screw. If the head lowers too low or too high,
adjust the head position by turning the screw (X). Secure the screw position by tightening the locking nut.
When cutting with the lowered head moving along the guides, lower the head and secure it with the locking pin. Unlock the guides
by loosening the locking screw and lifting the latch. Adjust the angles of the head and make a simulated cut without connecting the
saw to the power supply. Check that the circular saw does not come into contact with the table, retaining plate or any other part
other than the workpiece. Check that the movement on the guides is smooth.
In order to set the head at a certain height, lower the cut depth stop retaining plate. Turning the depth adjustment screw (XXI) to
set the desired cut depth. The position of the screw must be locked by tightening the locking nut. Adjust the angles of the head
and make a simulated cut without connecting the saw to the power supply. Check that the circular saw does not come into contact
with the table, retaining plate or any other part other than the workpiece. Check that the movement on the guides is smooth.
Fix the workpiece to the table so that it always rests against the retaining plate. Use the supplied clamp to fi x the workpiece.
Fasten the clamp pin on one side of the table. Secure the pin by tightening the screw (XXII). Adjust the height of the clamp arm
and secure it by tightening the screw (XXIII). Place the workpiece on the table and fi x it by tightening the clamping disc (XXIV).
Table extensions are equipped with lifting thrust plates (XXV). In combination with the possibility to adjust the sliding out of the
extensions, the thrust plates can be used to cut off many elements of the same length.
The thrust plate can be raised by means of additional plates inserted into the guides on the back wall of the thrust plate. The raised
position is set by tightening the screw separately for each plate (XXVI). The raising plates should be used whenever the workpiece
height exceeds the height of the thrust plate without the raising plates installed.
In the case of cutting where the head moves along the guides, an assistant operator can be of help. Especially for cutting work-
pieces with large cross-sections made of hardwood. The assistant operator pulling the additional handle reduces the force that the
main operator has to apply to work. This makes work more effi cient and safer. The assistant operator must stand in the position
so that he is not exposed to the blade or sawdust ejected by the saw during cutting. Cut simulation should be performed with an
assistant operator, making sure that no operator is exposed to the risks when working with the mitre saw.
The on/off switch has a safety lock to prevent unintentional pressing. Before pressing the on/off switch, move the lock button until
it is fl ush with the switch surface, and then press the on/off switch while holding the lock button.
After pressing the switch, allow the circular saw to reach the rated speed and only then start cutting. The switch does not have
a lock to secure it in any position. It is forbidden to fi rst apply the saw to the workpiece and then start the tool. This can jam or
damage the saw or cause damage to the workpiece. This can lead to injuries.
When resuming cutting, let the circular saw reach its rated speed and then guide it into the cut.
