EN POWX0782 CROSS-CUT AND MITRE SAW WITH TOP TABLE POWX0782 1 APPLICATION The machine is designed for sawing wood, metal and plastic. It is not designed for commercial use. WARNING! Read this manual and general safety instructions carefully before using the appliance, for your own safety. Your power tool should only be passed on together with these instructions. 2 DESCRIPTION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

POWX0782 EN 4 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 4.1 Working area  Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
PAGE 6
EN POWX0782       Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
PAGE 7
POWX0782                        EN Immediately replace the saw guard and the riving knife, after a process has been completed that required their removal. Prevent that the saw comes into contact with metals, such as nails and screws. Search for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign materials from the workpiece, before you start to work. Remove spanners, cut off pieces and the other items from the saw table, before turning on the switch.
PAGE 8
POWX0782     EN The hazard to your health from such exposures is dependent on how frequently you do this kind of work. Measures for reducing your exposure to such chemicals: Always work in well-ventilated surroundings and with certified safety equipment, such as dust masks that have been specially designed for filtering out microscopic particles. For sawing operations, connect the equipment to a dust exhaust system.
PAGE 9
EN POWX0782 You run the risk of injury, if you handle the machine incorrectly when lifting or turning it. Always hold the machine firmly by the base (12).  Position the machine on a suitable surface:  - All 4 feet must rest firmly on the surface. - The ideal height of the surface is approximately 800 mm. - The saw must stand firmly in position, even when larger workpieces are being sawn.
PAGE 10
EN POWX0782 8.2.4 Adjustment of the bevelling angle (Fig. 10-11) The support arm can be tilted vertically and in an angle of 45° to the left. To be able to tilt the support arm, the bevel lock (16) must be released. To prevent the bevel angle from changing while sawing, the locking knob of the support arm must be tightened. 8.2.5 Mitre and width guide (Fig. 12-13) The mitre and width guide (4) is mounted on the top saw table (1).

POWX0782  EN Do not use the power cable for pulling the plug out of the socket. 9 OPERATIONS Read the instructions. Wear safety goggles and ear protection Do not touch a turning saw blade. Wear a dust mask. This saw can be used as a:  Cross-cut saw  Table saw Before making any changes in the settings of this machine, always remove the plug from the socket. 9.1 9.1.1 Cross-cut sawing mode Safety instructions for the movable saw blade guard (Fig.
PAGE 12
EN POWX0782 HAZARD!  Before using the machine, always check that the following items function properly. - Movable saw blade guard.
PAGE 13
EN POWX0782          Release the mitre locking knob (9). Set the desired angle. Tighten the mitre locking knob once more. Hold the workpiece against the mitre and width guide. If necessary, use a work clamp for fastening the workpiece. Activate the switch (20) and activate/push on the safety lock (6). Lower the saw head carefully and completely downwards while holding firmly onto the handgrip.
PAGE 14
POWX0782 EN - Mitre saw locked in the desired position. - Saw head tilted at the desired angle, in relation to the surface of the workpiece, and locked in position. 9.1.9       Sawing the workpiece: Hold the workpiece against the mitre and width guide. If possible, use a work clamp for fastening the workpiece. Push on the upper half of the ON/OFF switch and push on the safety lock. Lower the saw head carefully and completely downwards, while firmly holding onto the handgrip.
PAGE 15
EN POWX0782     Set the mitre saw in the 0° position and tighten up the locking screw. You must position the lower saw blade guard correctly and you must make sure that switch B (29) is activated. Lower the saw head and lock it in position. Remove the mitre and width guide (4) from the saw blade guard. HAZARD!  Before starting to work, check that the following items are in a proper condition.

EN POWX0782 10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Attention! Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power plug. 10.1 Cleaning  Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.  Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.  Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.  If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.  Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc.
PAGE 17
POWX0782 EN - Check whether the saw head returns to its starting position when it is released; replace the corresponding springs, if necessary. - Check whether the movable saw blade guard functions. TIPS:  For long workpieces, use suitable supports at both sides of the machine.  Use an additional mitre and width guide when sawing small pieces (this can be a small board, which is attached to the guide with screws).
PAGE 18
POWX0782 EN HAZARD! Be sure to fasten the inner saw flange correctly! The saw may block, or the saw blade may come lose, if the flange is not correctly fastened. The inner saw flange is correctly mounted when the bevelled collar (Q1) points to the right and the spring groove points to the left (Fig. 21).  Mount the new saw blade (18) and check the rotating direction (the arrow on the saw blade must point in the same direction as the arrow on the saw blade guard!).
PAGE 19
POWX0782  EN Use your fingers to check the tension of the drive belt through the opening. Tighten the drive belt if there is more than 8 mm of play (see Paragraph 9.2.8 “Renewed tensioning” in this regard). 10.2.8 Renewed tensioning (Fig. 23-26)   Loosen the two screws (J1) between the motor and the support arm. For tensioning the drive belt, use the hexagonal screw (K1) to move the motor backwards.  Tighten the screws (J1) crosswise while holding the motor in position.
PAGE 20
EN POWX0782    Adapt the support arm until the saw blade is located precisely at an angle of 90°/45° in relation to the turntable. Retighten the left-hand/right-hand screw (N1). After loosening the screw (N4), adapt the position of the indicator (N3) until the value that is indicated corresponds to the currently preset stop position of the support arm. 10.3.4 Adapting the sawing depth stop (Fig. 30) The sawing depth stop limits the depth to which the saw extends in the saw blade opening.
