ASSEMBLY

GUIDE RODS, SAW FRAME AND BLADE

1. Attach the handle to the upright

part of the saw frame using the

two screws, with the nuts seated in

the handle moulding.

2. Connect the polymer guide

pieces to the saw frame assembly

as shown in Fig 1.

2. Insert the guide support rods

through the holes in each guide

piece as shown in Fig 2, noting

that two of the rods include a

small end stop. This must remain at

the top of the guide rod.

3. Slide a depth stop collar onto one

front and one rear guide rod from

below and lock in position with

the thumbscrew.

4. Lift the saw frame, complete with

guide rods, and place the guide

rods into their respective sockets

in the mitre angle carriage.

5. Tighten the grub screw for each

socket using a hexagonal key to

secure the saw frame/guide rod

assembly in place.

6. With the saw frame assembly in

position, tension the blade using

the wing nut, until any sideways

deflection of the blade is minimal.

• This is essential to ensure a straight

and repeatable cut from the

blade.

• The saw blade can be removed

for replacement by loosening the

wing nut fully and disengaging

the blade from its mounting pegs

at each end of the frame.

WORK CLAMP

1. Pass the threaded shaft of the

work clamp into one of the holes

in the front face of the saw table,

(see fig 5), depending upon

which end of the table your work

is to be mounted.

2. Screw on the retaining nut to

keep it in place.

WORK- STOP

1. Screw the stop rod adjusting knob

into the threaded hole at one end of the saw table depending upon

which side of the saw blade your work is to be mounted.

2. Slide the work stop rod through the base until it emerges from the hole in

the opposite end. Set it in the position required, by tightening the thumb-

screw.

• Your saw is now fully assembled and ready for use.

BENCH MOUNTING

You may wish to install the saw on a firm foundation such as a workbench or

work table. This is particularly advisable if you are cutting larger workpieces.

Use the holes in the wooden base plate for this purpose, securing with bolts,

flat washers and wing nuts for quick and easy removal, if required (not

supplied).

USING THE MITRE SAW

CUTTING SIMPLE MITRES OR BEVELS

Simple mitres or bevels are cuts made in one plane only. For simple mitres, the

carriage is moved to the desired angle to the base by pulling the horizontal

quadrant release lever to allow the carriage to swivel, with the saw blade

remaining perpendicular to the table.

Setting the carriage to the angles shown in Fig 6, will produce the mitres

illustrated. The angle is shown by the pointer.

COMPOUND MITRES

For compound mitres the saw frame

is tilted over at an angle to the table.

This is done by releasing the large

socket bolt in each end of the mitre

carriage sufficiently to free the

vertical quadrant and to allow the

saw frame to be tilted to the desired

angle. The socket bolt is then

tightened when the saw frame is set

at the desired angle.

Compound mitres are therefore cut

using a combination of these

settings.

CUTTING TECHNIQUE

When cutting, DO NOT force the saw blade, as this will lead to blade

distortion and inaccurate mitres/bevels. Only a very gentle pressure is

required. Let the saw do the work.

Ensure the socket screws at both ends of the carriage are tight before use.

Always clamp the workpiece to the saw table before work.

Ensure the saw blade is correctly tensioned before use - too slack will allow

the blade to twist, producing inaccurate mitres. Take care never to use

damaged saw blades. Release the blade tension if the saw is not to be used

again for some time.

Use the depth stop collars as required when making either a horizontal or

sloping cut. Tighten them securely with the thumb-screws before cutting.

Replacement blades are available from your CLARKE dealer;
