CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before
making any adjustments, performing any cleaning or
maintenance, or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure
before a cut may become unbalanced after a cut is completed.
An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the saw is
attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut
that may become unbalanced, properly support the workpiece
and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable surface. Personal
injury may occur.
WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the
base of the saw whenever the clamp is used. Always clamp the
workpiece to the base of the saw – not to any other part of the
work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge
of the base of the saw.
WARNING: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and
reduce the risk of workpiece damage and personal injury, if your
hands are required to be within 100 mm (4") of the blade during
the cut.
If you cannot secure the workpiece on the table and against the fence by
hand (irregular shape, etc.), or your hand would be less than 100 mm (4")
from the blade, a clamp or other fixture must be used.
Use the material clamp provided with your saw. To purchase a material
clamp, contact your local retailer or D
Other aids such as spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clamps may be
appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of material. Use care in selecting
and placing these clamps. Take time to make a dry run before making the
cut.
TO INSTALL CLAMP (FIG. 13)
1. With the clamp (AL) facing the back of the mitre saw, insert the clamp
rod into the hole (U) behind the fence. Ensure the groove at the bottom
of the clamp rod is fully inserted into the hole (U).
2. Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the mitre saw.
3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp arm up or down, then use the
fine adjust knob to firmly clamp the workpiece.
NOTE: Place the clamp on the opposite side of the base when beveling.
ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO
CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE CLAMP DOES NOT
INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before
making any adjustments, performing any cleaning or
maintenance, or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Your mitre saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time
of manufacture. If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other
reason is required, follow the instructions below to adjust your saw.
Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time
now to follow these directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of which
your saw is capable.
Mitre Scale Adjustment (Fig. 10, 14)
Lock the saw head in the down position. Unlock the mitre lock knob (E)
and swing the mitre arm (G) until it locks at the 0° mitre position. Do not
lock the mitre lock knob. Place a square against the saw's fence and blade,
as shown in Figure 14. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the
square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.) If the saw blade
is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the three screws (I, Fig. 10)
that hold the mitre scale (H) and move the mitre arm and the scale left or
right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the
square. Retighten the three screws.
Bevel Square to Table Adjustment (Fig. 1, 12A, 15)
To align the blade square to the table, lock the operating handle in the
down position with the lock down pin (W). Place a square against the blade,
ensuring the square is not on top of a tooth. Loosen the bevel lock knob
(L) and ensure the bevel arm is firmly against the 0° bevel stop. Rotate the
0° bevel adjustment screw (AO) with a 4 mm hex key (not provided) as
44
WALT service centre.
e
necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to the table, as measured with
the square.
Bevel Stop 45º Left Adjustment (Fig. 1, 12)
To adjust the left 45° bevel stop, first loosen the bevel lock knob and tilt the
head until it stops. Verify that the bevel override (Y) is in the 45° position;
and if the bevel pointer (AN) does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the 45°
bevel adjustment screw (AP) until the bevel pointer (AN) reads 45°.
Guard Actuation and Visibility (Fig. 1, 24)
CAUTION: Pinch hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, keep
thumb underneath the operating handle when pulling the
handle down. The lower guard will move up as the operating
handle is pulled down, which could cause pinching.
The lower guard (D) on your saw has been designed to automatically
uncover the blade when the arm is brought down and to cover the blade
when the arm is raised.
Before each use or after making adjustments, cycle the arm (unpowered)
and make sure the guard opens smoothly and closes fully. It should not
contact the blade. With the arm up, raise the guard (unpowered) as shown
in Figure 24 and release. The guard should fully close rapidly. Do not
operate the saw if the guard does not move freely and fully close rapidly.
Never clamp or tie the guard in an open position when operating the saw.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or
for inspection of the saw. NEVER RAISE THE LOWER GUARD MANUALLY
UN LESS THE BLADE IS STOPPED.
NOTE: Certain special cuts of large material will require that you manually
raise the guard. Refer to Cutting Large Material under Special Cuts.
The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting.
Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying debris, there are
openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all times.
Rail Guide Adjustment (Fig. 1)
Periodically check the rails (M) for any play or clearance. The rails can be
cleaned with a dry clean cloth. The right rail can be adjusted with the rail
adjustment screw (S) shown in Figure 1. To reduce clearance, use a 4 mm
hex wrench and rotate the set screw clockwise gradually while sliding the
saw head back and forth. Reduce play while maintaining minimum slide
force.
Support for Long Pieces
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before
making any adjustments, performing any cleaning or
maintenance, or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG PIECES.
Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension, as additional
support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic mitre saw
table or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.
Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as sawhorses
or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping.
Cutting Picture Frames, Shadow Boxes And Other
Four-Sided Projects (Fig. 16, 17)
To best understand how to make the items listed here, we suggest that you
try a few simple projects using scrap wood until you develop a "feel" for
your saw.
Your saw is the perfect tool for mitring corners like the one shown in
Figure 16. Sketch A in Figure 17 shows a joint made by using the bevel
adjustment to bevel the edges of the two boards at 45º each to produce a
90º corner. For this joint the mitre arm was locked in the zero position and
the bevel adjustment was locked at 45º. The wood was positioned with
the broad flat side against the table and the narrow edge against the fence.
The cut could also be made by mitring right and left with the broad surface
against the fence.
