Your Mitre Saw is supplied as 3 major component parts which

need assembling.

THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS IS A

‘ONE TIME ASSEMBLY’.

Once assembly is successfully completed no attempt to

disassemble the machine should be made. The blade and

some other smaller parts also need to be fitted by the operator.

A safety check must be carried out once assembly is completed

and before the machine is used.

The Cutting Head is supplied with an approved power cable and

plug fitted for its intended country of use.

Do not under any circumstances plug the Cutting Head

into the power supply and try to use it as a hand held

circular saw.

WARNING: Do not connect this machine to the mains power

supply until assembly has been completed and a complete

safety check is carried out.

See Final Safety Checks list on page 17.

Adjusting the Bevel Neck to 00

The Bevel Neck is supplied fitted to the rotary base and tilted at a 450

angle to the left. Before the carriage slides are inserted into the Bevel

Neck, the Bevel Neck must be adjusted to the vertical position (00).

INSERTING THE CARRIAGE SLIDE

The Carriage Slides two arms should be inserted into the

two linear bearings in the Bevel Neck. From the BACK of the

machine the red lug should be to the left and the white lug

should be to the right. (Fig. 5)

To aid correct assembly note that the individual arms of the

slide are colour coded, red for the Left Hand arm (as seen from

the back of the machine) and white for the Right Hand arm.

The linear bearings are likewise colour coded.

WARNING: Read steps associated with

Figs 4, 5, 6 and 7 before proceeding.

For accuracy of assembly the two (2) arms of the Carriage Slide

are not the same diameter. Each arm has a dedicated linear

bearing in the Bevel Neck.

Ensure that the Carriage Slide is inserted into the Bevel Neck the

correct way round with the cable clip attachment position on

the back support bracket pointing upwards. (Fig. 6)
