7. Intended use
The Mitre Saw is intended as a machine for
making straight cuts in wood, without the
need for a main power supply. It is possible
to cut mitre angles of -45° to +45° and bevel
angles of 0° to 45°. The Mitre Saw is
designed with sufficient capacity for sawing
hardwood and softwood.
8. Assembly and adjusting
instructions
8.1
Assembly
Insert the workpiece supports
(7)
into the
holes on either side of the mitre saw.
Tighten the workpiece support lock screws
(21)
to lock the work supports in position.
Check that the supports are firmly held. The
mitre saw is delivered with a saw blade.
8.2
Operation
The mitre saw must be secured to a work-
bench or saw table. Check all covers and
safety devices have been properly fitted and
are operational.
Check the saw head is not locked and is
free to move. If not free, disengage sliding
locking screw
(19)

(13)
check that the saw blade
(3)
is free to
rotate.
8.3
Dust extraction
The saw dust collection bag or suitable saw
dust extraction system must be connected
to the saw dust extraction port
(11).
8.4
Inserting and removing the battery
pack
Warning:
Before inserting or removing the
battery pack, make sure the mitre saw is
switched off.
Please note that the saw will only work
correctly with the 4.0 Ah Battery.
Slide the battery pack into battery slot at the
rear of the saw head. To insert the battery
pack, align the battery pack with the battery
base at the rear of the saw head and slide
the battery pack into the saw so that the
battery pack is locked in position.
To remove the battery pack, press the bat-
tery’s release button and pull the battery
pack off at the same time.

beam is used to show the position of the
cut on the work-piece. It can be turned on or
off using the switch
(14)
on the top of the
saw body.
8.6
Led worklight
To provide additional lighting of the work-
piece the saw has a built-in LED worklight. It
can be turned on or off using the switch
(15)
on the top of the saw body.
8.7
Setting the cutting angles
Warning!
Before making any adjustments to
the settings, check that the battery has
been removed to prevent accidental
starting.
After setting the angles always perform test
cuts.
8.8
Setting the mitre angle
The mitre angle is left/right steplessly varia-
ble between 0° and 45°. To set the mitre
angle loosen the mitre position lock
knob
(5)
. Rotate the table and set the
required mitre angle using the scale of the
mitre angle indicator
(23)
. Tighten the mitre
position lock knob
(5)
.
8.9
Setting the bevel angle
The bevel angle is steplessly variable
between 0° and 45°. To set the bevel Angle
and loosen the bevel position lock knob
(9)
.
Tilt the cutting head to the desired required
bevel angle using the scale of the bevel
angle indicator
(8)
. Tighten the bevel posi-
tion lock knob
(9)
.
8.10
Setting cutting depth
The cutting depth can be adjusted if
required. To do so, set the sliding lock piece
to the forward position, so the depth of cut
adjustment screw
(12)
makes contact with
it when the saw head is pressed down.
Loosen the locking nut on the depth of cut
adjustment screw
(12)
. Gently lower the
saw head to desired cutting depth. Adjust
the screw up or down for the desired depth
of cut. Re-tighten the locking nut on the
depth of cut adjustment
