FAQs

How do I change the blade?

Unplug the saw. Engage the shaft lock, loosen the blade bolt, and remove the blade. Install the new blade, tighten the bolt, and release the shaft lock.

What is the maximum bevel cut?

The maximum bevel cut is 45° to the left.

How do I adjust the mitre angle?

Loosen the mitre lock lever, adjust the table to the desired angle using the markings, and tighten the lever.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear safety glasses. Use hearing protection. Ensure the material is securely supported. Never reach across the blade while it is spinning.

What type of blade should I use?

Use blades specifically designed for mitre saws and appropriate for the material you are cutting.

How often should I clean the saw?

Clean the saw after each use to maintain performance and accuracy.

Troubleshooting

Saw won't turn on.

Check the power cord and ensure it's properly connected to both the saw and a working outlet. Check the circuit breaker.

Cuts are not square.

Check and adjust the mitre and bevel angles using the positive stops. Ensure the material is flush against the fence.

Blade binds during a cut.

Slow down the feed rate. Check the blade for dullness or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the material isn't pinching the blade.

Dust collection is ineffective.

Empty the dust bag regularly. Check for clogs in the dust collection system and clean as needed.
