Removing the carbon brushes:

Take a flat blade screwdriver (not supplied)

and locate it in the slot on the motor brush
cap.
Turn anti-clockwise until the cap can be re-
moved, take care when removing the cap as
there is a spring under compression holding
the brush in place.

Remove the brush and check the length;

If the brush needs changing fit the new
brush and tighten the cap to retain it.

If the brush is not worn but is sticking inside

the holder there may be a carbon build up
that needs removing. The best way to re-
move the carbon is by blowing dry air into
the holder but a small stiff brush or pipe
cleaner could be used to do the same job.
The brush will also need cleaning as some of
the build up may be stuck to it.

Caution: When removing or cleaning the brushes eye

would be a risk of fire if they are allowed to build up over time (a soft This saw is fitted with a laser, never shine directly at the op-

Empty the bag after each use; there is a zip on the bag to allow for easy
disposal of wood chippings.

Ensure the blade guard is kept clean with a damp cloth (do not clean the
guard or any part of the saw with a corrosive solvent) to reduce the risk
of injury.

Periodically oil all the moving parts on the saw to extend the life of the
saw.

Inspect the carbon brushes (in the motor) at frequent intervals

(depending on the amount of use) and change them if the wear reaches
the worn limit line or is below 10mm, they should also be checked to en-
sure that the brushes move in and out easily.

See over (page 18) for instructions on removing the carbon brushes.

Caution: As when using the saw cleaning can cause

dust and debris to be thrown into the air. Always wear
eye protection and a dust mask to prevent any injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont

This mitre saw is double insulated. This means you are Depth cut stop:
separated from the tool's electrical system by two complete
sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is
intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a
break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with pro-
tecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded (earthed). Servicing of a tool with double insula-
tion requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a suitably qualified person.

This tool is fitted with a standard 230v ~ plug. Before using the tool in-
spect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If any dam-
age is visible have the tool inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified
person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant
plug would be preferable.

The wires in the plug are coloured in the following way: 1 2 3

Fitting the work-piece clamp: Guarantee:

This saw is covered by a 24 month parts and labour warranty covering
failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to
misuse or operating the machine outside the scope of this manual.

In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor or con-

tact our help line on the back page of this manual. Proof of purchase will
be required before any warranty can be honoured.

INSTALLATION / ASSEMBLY
Before operating this saw ensure all guards are in place
and working correctly

Fitting the blade guard:

To fit the clamp; locate the clamp into one of the retaining holes (there
are 2 on each side of the saw, it depends what sort of cut is required as to Screw “B” Note: Curve
which one is used ).
1. Tighten the retaining thumbscrew on the saw.
2. Put the work-piece onto the saw bed.
3. Lower the clamp towards the wood and tighten the thumbscrew that is
on the clamp.
4. Turn the clamp lock knob on the clamp until it is tight and has secured
the work-piece.

Screw “A” location

Release the head lock (see page 8) and allow the saw head to rise to its
highest point. Locate and loosen screw B and take note of where screw A
(supplied with the accessories) should be located (see pic) .
Fit the guard around the blade and hook the guard bracket over screw B,
