ment. Be sure that you understand their meaning before

use.

Read instruction manual.

DOUBLE INSULATION

To avoid injury from ying debris, keep

holding the saw head down, after making

cuts, until the blade has come to a com-

plete stop.

When performing slide cut, rst pull car-

riage fully and press down handle, then

push carriage toward the guide fence.

Do not place hand or ngers close to the

blade.

Adjust sliding fences clear of blade and

blade guard properly.

Always remove SUB-FENCE R when

performing right bevel cuts. Failure to do so

may cause serious injury to operator.

LASER RADIATION: Do not stare into

beam. Direct laser beam may injure your

eyes.

Only for EU countries

Do not dispose of electric equipment

together with household waste material!

In observance of the European Directive,

on Waste Electric and Electronic

Equipment and its implementation in

accordance with national law, electric

equipment that have reached the end of

their life must be collected separately and

returned to an environmentally compatible

recycling facility.

Intended use

The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter

cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum

can also be sawed.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of

the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and

can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They

are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used

from sockets without earth wire.

11 ENGLISH

Noise

The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-

ing to EN62841-3-9:

Sound pressure level (L

pA

) : 92 dB(A)

Sound power level (L

WA

) : 102 dB (A)

Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)

NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has

been measured in accordance with a standard test

method and may be used for comparing one tool with

another.

NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s)

may also be used in a preliminary assessment of

exposure.

WARNING: Wear ear protection.

WARNING: The noise emission during actual

use of the power tool can differ from the declared

value(s) depending on the ways in which the

tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is

processed.

WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-

sures to protect the operator that are based on an

estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of

use (taking account of all parts of the operating

cycle such as the times when the tool is switched

off and when it is running idle in addition to the

trigger time).

EC Declaration of Conformity

For European countries only

The EC declaration of conformity is included as Annex A

to this instruction manual.

SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Safety instructions for mitre saws

1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-

like products, they cannot be used with abra-

sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material

such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust

causes moving parts such as the lower guard to

jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the

lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.

2.

Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever

possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,

you must always keep your hand at least 100

mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not

use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to

be securely clamped or held by hand. If your

hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is

an increased risk of injury from blade contact.

3. The workpiece must be stationary and

clamped or held against both the fence and the

table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade

or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained

or moving workpieces could be thrown at high

speeds, causing injury.

4. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not

pull the saw through the workpiece. To make

a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over

the workpiece without cutting, start the motor,

press the saw head down and push the saw

through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke

is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top

of the workpiece and violently throw the blade

assembly towards the operator.

5.

Never cross your hand over the intended line of

cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.

Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. hold-

ing the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with

your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

► Fig.1

6. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand

closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw

blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason while the blade is spinning. The proxim-

ity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not

be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

7. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the

workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with

the outside bowed face toward the fence.

Always make certain that there is no gap

between the workpiece, fence and table along

the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces

can twist or shift and may cause binding on the

spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be

no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.

8. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all

tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work-

piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or

other objects that contact the revolving blade can

be thrown with high speed.

9.

Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple

workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced

and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

10. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on

a level, rm work surface before use. A level

and rm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre

saw becoming unstable.

11. Plan your work. Every time you change the

bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the

adjustable fence is set correctly to support the

workpiece and will not interfere with the blade

or the guarding system. Without turning the tool

"ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move

the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to

assure there will be no interference or danger of

cutting the fence.

12 ENGLISH

12. Provide adequate support such as table exten-

sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is

wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces

longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip

if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or

workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be

thrown by the spinning blade.

13. Do not use another person as a substitute for

a table extension or as additional support.

Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the

blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the

cutting operation pulling you and the helper into

the spinning blade.

14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or

pressed by any means against the spinning

saw blade. If conned, i.e. using length stops, the

cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade

and thrown violently.

15. Always use a clamp or a xture designed to

properly support round material such as rods

or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while

being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the

work with your hand into the blade.

16. Let the blade reach full speed before contact-

ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the

workpiece being thrown.

17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,

turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving

parts to stop and disconnect the plug from

the power source and/or remove the battery

pack. Then work to free the jammed material.

Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could

cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.

18.

After nishing the cut, release the switch, hold

the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop

before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with

your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.

19. Hold the handle rmly when making an incom-

plete cut or when releasing the switch before

the saw head is completely in the down posi-

tion. The braking action of the saw may cause

the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,

causing a risk of injury.

20. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that

is marked on the tool or specied in the man-

ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect

the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-

tion which could result in serious personal injury.

21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with

a speed equal or higher than the speed marked

on the tool.

22. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,

aluminum or similar materials.

23. (For European countries only)

Always use the blade which conforms to

EN847-1.

Additional instructions

1. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.

2. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could

occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is

unintentionally contacted.

3. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn

the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes

to a complete stop.

4. Do not operate saw without guards in place.

Check blade guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard

does not move freely and close instantly.

Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the

open position.

5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid

contact with any coasting blade. It can still

cause severe injury.

6. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage

to the full rear position after each crosscut

operation.

7. Always secure all moving portions before

carrying the tool.

8. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down

is for carrying and storage purposes only and

not for any cutting operations.

9. Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-

age before operation. Replace cracked or dam-

aged blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch

hardened on blades slows saw and increases

potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by

rst removing it from tool, then cleaning it with

gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.

Never use gasoline to clean blade.

10. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can

occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade

binds in the workpiece during a cutting oper-

ation and the saw blade is driven rapidly

towards the operator. Loss of control and seri-

ous personal injury can result. If blade begins

to bind during a cutting operation, do not con-

tinue to cut and release switch immediately.

11. Use only anges specied for this tool.

12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, anges

(especially the installing surface) or bolt.

Damage to these parts could result in blade

breakage.

13. Make sure that the turn base is properly

secured so it will not move during operation.

Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a

stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool

where operator positioning would be awkward.

14. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the

switch is turned on.

15. Be sure that the blade does not contact the

turn base in the lowest position.

16. Hold the handle rmly. Be aware that the saw

moves up or down slightly during start-up and

stopping.

17. Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

18. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or

wobbling that could indicate poor installation

or a poorly balanced blade.

19. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-

thing abnormal.

20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"

position.

21. Always use accessories recommended in this

manual. Use of improper accessories such as

abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

13 ENGLISH

22. Some material contains chemicals which may

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-

tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier

safety data.

NOTE:

• If the inner ange is removed be sure to install

it on the spindle with its protrusion facing away

from the blade. If the ange is installed incor-

rectly the ange will rub against the machine.

WARNING:

•

Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always be

sure that the correct ring for the blade's arbor hole you

intend to use is installed between the inner and the

outer anges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may

result in the improper mounting of the blade causing blade

movement and severe vibration resulting in possible loss

of control during operation and in serious personal injury.

Dust bag

► Fig.31: 1. Dust nozzle 2. Dust bag 3. Fastener

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations

cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust

bag, t it onto the dust nozzle.

When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust

bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty

the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to

remove particles adhering to the insides which might

hamper further collection.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:

• It is extremely important to always secure

the workpiece correctly with the proper type

of vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to

do so may result in serious personal injury and

cause damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.

• After a cutting operation do not raise the

blade until it has come to a complete stop.

The raising of a coasting blade may result in

serious personal injury and damage to the

workpiece.

• When cutting a workpiece that is longer

than the support base of the saw, the mate-

rial should be supported the entire length

beyond the support base and at the same

height to keep the material level. Proper

workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch

and possible kickback which may result in seri-

ous personal injury. Do not rely solely on the

vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the

workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support

workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade

pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Guide fence (SLIDING FENCE) adjustment

► Fig.33: 1. Sliding fence 2. Clamping screw

WARNING:

• Before operating the tool, make sure that the

sliding fence is secured rmly.

• Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part

of the tool, especially the blade, contacts the

fence when fully lowering and raising the

handle in any position and while moving the

carriage through its full range of travel. If the

tool or blade makes contact with the fence this

may result in kickback or unexpected movement

of the material and serious personal injury.

► Fig.34: 1. Sliding fence

CAUTION:

• When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding

fence to the left and secure it as shown in the

gure. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a

part of the tool, causing possible serious injury

to the operator.

This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should

ordinarily be positioned as shown in the gure.

However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left

position as shown in the gure if the tool head contacts it.

When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't for-

get to return the sliding fence to the original position and

secure it by rmly tightening the clamping screw.

Sub-fence R

WARNING:

• Before operating the tool, make sure that the

sub-fence R is secured rmly.

•

Before performing right bevel cuts, remove the sub-

fence R. It will contact the blade or a part of the tool,

causing possible serious injury to the operator.

► Fig.35: 1. Sub-fence R 2. Screws

The sub-fence R can be removed from the right side of

the guide fence. To remove the sub-fence R, loosen the

screw which secures the sub-fence R and pull it out.

Follow the removal procedure in reverse to install it.

When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't for-

get to return the sub-fence R to the original position and

secure it by rmly tightening the clamping screw.

Vertical vise

► Fig.36: 1. Vise arm 2. Vise knob 3. Vise rod

4. Screw 5. Guide fence

The vertical vise can be installed on either the left or

right side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the

hole in the guide fence and tighten the screw on the

back of the guide fence to secure the vise rod.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape

of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the

screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the guide

fence, install the screw on the opposite side of vise arm. Make

sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering

the handle fully and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way.

If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.

Press the workpiece at against the guide fence and the

turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting

position and secure it rmly by tightening the vise knob.

WARNING:

• The workpiece must be secured rmly

against the turn base and guide fence with

the vise during all operations. If the workpiece

is not properly secured against the fence the

material may move during the cutting operation

causing possible damage to the blade, causing

the material to be thrown and loss of control

resulting in serious personal injury.

Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

► Fig.37: 1. Vise plate 2. Vise nut 3. Vise knob

The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on

either the left or right side of the base. When performing

10° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on

the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is

to be turned.

► Fig.38

By ipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is

released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the work-

piece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate con-

tacts the workpiece and ip the vise nut clockwise. Then

turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.

The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured

by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.

When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of

the base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the work-

piece more rmly. Refer to the "Sub-fence R" section

described on previously for installing the sub-fence R.

WARNING:

• Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until

the workpiece is properly secured. If the

workpiece is not properly secured the material

may move during the cutting operation causing

possible damage to the blade, causing the

material to be thrown and loss of control result-

ing in serious personal injury.

• When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base

boards, against the fence, always use the hori-

zontal vise.

OPERATION

NOTICE:

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the

lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle

when cutting. Too much force may result in over-

load of the motor and/or decreased cutting ef-

ciency. Push down handle with only as much force

as is necessary for smooth cutting and without

signicant decrease in blade speed.

• Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If

the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral

force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a

mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the preci-

sion of the cut will be impaired.

18 ENGLISH

• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward

the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage

movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will

be left in the workpiece and the precision of the

cut will be impaired.

WARNING:

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned

on.

Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with

the workpiece may result in kickback and seri-

ous personal injury.

1. Press cutting (cutting small

workpieces)

► Fig.39: 1. Locking screw

Workpieces up to 91 mm high and 70 mm wide

can be cut in the following manner.

Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and

tighten the locking screw clockwise to secure the

carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with the

proper type of vise. Switch on the tool without the

blade making any contact and wait until the blade

attains full speed before lowering. Then gently

lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut

the workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch

off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS

COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning

the blade to its fully elevated position.

WARNING:

• Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that

the carriage will not move during operation.

Insufcient tightening of the knob may cause

possible kickback which may result in serious

personal injury.

2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide

workpieces)

► Fig.40: 1. Locking screw

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so

that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the work-

piece with the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage

toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the

blade making any contact and wait until the blade

attains full speed. Press the handle down and

PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE

FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE.

When the cut is completed, switch off the tool

and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A

COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to

its fully elevated position.

WARNING:

•

Whenever performing a slide cut, rst pull the

carriage full towards you and press the han-

dle all the way down, then push the carriage

toward the guide fence. Never start the cut

with the carriage not pulled fully toward you.

If you perform the slide cut without the carriage

pulled fully toward you unexpected kickback may

occur and serious personal injury may result.

•

Never attempt to perform a slide cut by pulling the

carriage towards you. Pulling the carriage towards

you while cutting may cause unexpected kickback

resulting in possible serious personal injury.

• Never perform the slide cut with the handle

locked in the lowered position.

• Never loosen the locking screw which

secures the carriage while the blade is rotat-

ing. A loose carriage while cutting may cause

unexpected kickback resulting in possible in

serious personal injury.

3. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the

miter angle".

4. Bevel cut

► Fig.41

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set

the bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered

"Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the

lever rmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely.

Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make sure the car-

riage is pulled all the way back toward the operator.

Switch on the tool without the blade making any con-

tact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then

gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position

while applying pressure in parallel with the blade

and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE

FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is

completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE

BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before

returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

WARNING:

• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before

operating the tool ensure that the carriage

and blade will have free travel through-

out the entire range of the intended cut.

Interruption of the carriage or blade travel during

the cutting operation may result in kickback and

serious personal injury.

• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of

the path of the blade. The angle of the blade

may confuse the operator as to the actual blade

path while cutting and contact with the blade will

result in serious personal injury.

• The blade should not be raised until it has

come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut

the piece cut off may come to rest against the

blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating

the cut-off piece maybe ejected by the blade

causing the material to fragment which may

result in serious personal injury.

19 ENGLISH

NOTICE:

• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure

in parallel with the blade. If a force is applied

perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure

direction is changed during a cut, the precision of

the cut will be impaired.

• Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of sliding

fence maybe required. Refer to the section titled

"Guide fence adjustment".

CAUTION:

• Always remove the sub-fence R so that it does

not interfere any part of the carriage when per-

forming right bevel cuts.

5. Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel

angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle

is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can

be performed at the angle shown in the table.

Miter angle Bevel angle

Left and Right 0 - 45

When performing compound cutting, refer to

"Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and

"Bevel cut" explanations.

6. Cutting crown and cove moldings

Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound

miter saw with the moldings laid at on the turn base.

There are two common types of crown moldings

and one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle

crown molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and

45° wall angle cove molding. See illustrations.

WARNING:

•

Use screws to attach the wood facing to the

guide fence. The screws should be installed so

that the screw heads are below the surface of the

wood facing so that they will not interfere with the

positioning of the material being cut. Misalignment

of the material being cut can case unexpected move-

ment during the cutting operation which may result in

a loss of control and serious personal injury.

NOTICE:

• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the

turn base with the handle lowered. The blade and/

or the wood facing will be damaged.

9. Groove cutting

► Fig.46: 1. Cut grooves with blade

A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as

follows:

Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using

the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit

the cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper

arm" section described previously.

After adjusting the lower limit position of the

blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of the

workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in

the gure. Then remove the workpiece material

between the grooves with a chisel.

WARNING:

• Do not attempt to perform this type of cut

by using a wider type blade or dado blade.

Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider

blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected

cutting results and kickback which may result in

serious personal injury.

• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the

original position when performing other than

groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with

the stopper arm in the incorrect position could

lead to unexpected cutting results and kickback

which may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original

position when performing other than groove

cutting.

Carrying tool

► Fig.47

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade
