Assembly

Prior to assembly always unplug the tool.

The motor and guards are already assembled onto the base.

Dust extraction DE7777 (option) (fig. B)

• Fit the hoses (34) to the nozzles (16) and (17).

• Connect the hoses to the 3-way connector (36) using the adaptors (35)

and plug off the third hole.

• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in

accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.

Fitting the fence insert (fig. A2 & C)

Always use the fence insert for all cuts!

• Push the saw head down to pull out the lock down button (22) and

raise the saw head (fig. A2).

• Insert the screws (37) and (38) and the washers (39) into the holes (40)

as shown to mount the fence insert (8) (fig. C).

Cable clamp (fig. D)

• Insert the cable (41) into the cable clamp (42). Allow enough cable for

the saw head travel.

Bench mounting (fig. E)

Your saw can be mounted on any flat and stable surface.

The recommended work height, however, is 700 to 750 mm.

• Insert the two coach bolts (43) into the two holes (21).

• Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement.

Mounting the saw blade (fig. A1 & F)

The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be

dangerous.

• Hold the outer flange (5) with the pin spanner (44).

• Using the 6 mm Allen key, loosen the blade bolt (6) by turning clockwise.

Remove the blade bolt (6), its washer and the outer flange (5) (fig. A1).

• Press the combined lower guard and head lock up release lever (2) to

raise the lower blade guard (7) and remove the saw blade (45).

• Install the new saw blade (45) onto the shoulder (46) provided on the

inner flange (47) making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the

blade are pointing towards the fence (away from the operator).

• Replace the outer flange (5), making sure that the location lugs (48) are

engaged correctly, one on each side of the motor.

• Tighten the blade bolt (6) by turning counter-clockwise while holding

the saw blade with the pin spanner.

Adjustment

Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.

Your Mitre Saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due

to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps

below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should remain

accurate.

Adjusting the traverse bars for constant cutting depth (fig. A1, G1 & G2)

The blade must run at a constant cutting depth along the full length of the

table and must not touch the fixed table at the rear of the slot or at the

front of the rotating arm. To achieve this, the traverse arms must be

perfectly parallel to the table when the saw head is fully depressed.

• Press the combined lower guard and head lock up release lever (2)

(fig. A1).

• Press the saw head fully to the rear position and measure the height

from the rotating table (13) to the bottom of the outer flange (5) (fig. G1).

• Keeping the saw head fully depressed, pull the head to the end of its

travel.

• Measure the height indicated in figure G1 again. Both values should be

identical.

If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the locknut (49) in the bracket (50) and adjust the screw (51) as

required, proceeding in small steps (fig. G2).

• Tighten the locknut (49).

Always check that the blade does not touch the table at the rear

of the slot or at the front of the rotating arm at 90° vertical and 45°

bevel positions. Do not switch ON before having checked this!

Checking and adjusting the blade to the fence (fig. A2 & H)

• Loosen the mitre clamping knob (12) by turning counterclockwise (fig. H).

• Pull down the head and lock it in this position using the lock down

button (22) (fig. A2).

• Lift the positive stop lever (11) and swing the head until the stop

locates it at 0° mitre position. Tighten the clamping knob (12) (fig. H).

• Crosscut a piece of timber at least 100 mm wide and check the angle.

If the saw blade is not exactly at 90° to the fence:

• Release the clamping knob (12), slacken the locknut (52) and rotate the

eccentric pin (53) to obtain the correct angle.

• Lock the mitre clamping knob (12).

Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (fig. A2, J1 - J3)

• Ensure that the head is locked in the 0° mitre position.

• Release the bevel clamp (19) by pushing it down (fig. A2).

• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten

the bevel clamp (19).

• Place a set square (54) on the table and up against the blade (45) (fig. J1).

Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.

If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the bevel clamp (19) (fig. A2).

• Release the locknut (55) and rotate the slotted screw to adjust as

required (fig. J2).

• Check that the bevel indicator (56) indicates 0° on the bevel scale (20)

(fig. J3).

• If not, loosen the two screws (57), move the scale (20) as required and

tighten the two screws.

Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. A2, J2 & K)

• Loosen the bevel clamp (19) (fig. A2).

• Move the saw head to the left, to its maximum bevel position.

• Check that the angle is exactly 45° using a protractor (fig. K).

• If adjustment is required, loosen the locknut (58) and turn the bevel

adjustment screw (59) as required (fig. J2).

While performing this adjustment, it is advisable to take the

weight of the saw head by holding it. This will make it easier to

turn the adjustment screw.
