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 SYMBOLS In this manual and/or on the machine the following symbols are used: In accordance with essential Denotes risk of personal requirements of the European injury or damage to the tool. directive(s) Read manual before use "Class II - The machine is double insulated; Earthing wire is therefore not necessary Wear eye protection Wear gloves Do not touch a turning saw blade. 5 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS Read all safety warnings and instructions.
PAGE 6
EN POWX0782      Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely. Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times.
PAGE 7
POWX0782                      EN Only use saw blades that are recommended by the manufacturer and that fulfil the EN8471 standard. Also make sure the riving knife is not thicker than the width of the saw cut, and that it is not thinner than the body of the saw blade. Always use the accessories that are recommended by this manual. Select the correct saw blade for the material must be sawn. To reduce the generation of noise, always make sure that the blade is sharp and clean.
PAGE 8
POWX0782              EN Do not carry out any free-hand operations. Free-hand means that you use your hands for supporting the workpiece, or for leading it with your hands, instead of using the rip fence or the mitre block. NEVER bend over or around the saw blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece, before the saw blade has come to a complete stop. Avoid a sudden or too quick infeed of a workpiece. Workpieces made of hard material should be fed in as slowly as possible.

EN POWX0782 9 INSTALLATION AND TRANSPORT Do not carry the machine on the handgrip; the handgrip is not designed to carry the full weight of the machine. For carrying the machine, hold it on both edges of the base (12). 9.1 Installation (Fig. 14)  Get help from another person for lifting the machine out of the box.  Turn the turntable into the 0° position and tighten up the mitre locks.   Note: If the machine must be mounted on a workbench, then the rubber feet should NOT be installed.
PAGE 10
EN POWX0782 9.2.2     Cross-cut and mitre saw operating mode (Fig. 6) Make sure that the mitre and width guide (4) is correctly installed and that the saw blade is covered. This activates switch A (8). Make sure that the cover (mitre and width guide) is firmly attached. If this is not the case, use the mitre and width guide locking knob (5) to fasten it. Remove the lower saw blade guard (14). For starting the motor, push on the switch (29) in the handgrip.
PAGE 11
POWX0782  EN Follow the user instructions for the dust collector. 9.2.7 Connection to AC power High-voltage!   Only operate this machine in dry surroundings.
PAGE 12
EN POWX0782 Before starting with the installation of the machine: - Switch the machine “OFF” - Remove the plug from the socket - Wait until at the machine has come to a complete standstill     The mitre and width guide (4) must be installed, so that the saw blade can be covered and safely fastened. The mitre and width guide must activate switch A (8); secure the position with the mitre guide locking knob (5).
PAGE 13
EN POWX0782  The saw should be switched off by releasing the switch (20), if no further sawing has to be done. 10.1.5  Mitre sawing (Fig. 7) During mitre sawing, the workpiece is sawed at an angle in relation to the mitre and width guide.  Starting position: - Saw head completely raised. - The motor head stands in a vertical position (90°), and the bevelling lock knob is tightened.           Sawing the workpiece: Release the mitre locking knob (9). Set the desired angle.
PAGE 14
POWX0782 10.1.8  EN Double mitre cut A double mitre cut is a combination of a mitre cut and a bevelling cut; this means that the workpiece is cut at an angle in the one single movement, which is not equal to 90° in relation to the mitre and width guide and the material surface. HAZARD! The saw blade is exposed much more than normally when making a double mitre cut, which leads to an increased risk of injuries.  Always keep sufficient distance from the saw blade.
PAGE 15
EN POWX0782  Replace the push block when damaged. 10.2.5 Installation HAZARD! Before starting with the installation of the machine: - Switch the machine “OFF” - Remove the plug from the socket - Wait until at the machine has come to a complete standstill      Leave the saw head in a raised position. 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.
PAGE 16
EN POWX0782 10.2.6 Sawing HAZARD! Always use a push block, if the distance D of the workpiece is less than 120 mm (Fig. 17).       The front edge of the saw blade guard must rest on the workpiece. If necessary, install the mitre and width guide, and make sure that the locking screw points in the operator's direction. Set the mitre and width guide to the desired sawing width. Check on both scales of the upper saw blade that the mitre and width guide has been set parallel to the saw blade.
PAGE 17
POWX0782    EN Check the power cable and plug for damages, and let damaged parts be replaced by a certified electrician. Check all moving parts, and make sure that they can move freely and smoothly over their entire operational range. Check the riving knife, and make sure that the distance between the riving knife and saw blade is between 3 mm and 8 mm. 11.2.3 Monthly (if the saw is used every day) Check the condition of the drive belt and the belt tension, and fix it if necessary. 11.2.
PAGE 18
POWX0782 EN  Remove the shaft bolt (E1) and the outer saw flange (E2) from the saw shaft.  Remove the saw blade (18) from the saw shaft and lift it up to remove it from the machine.  Remove the shaft nut (E4) and the inner saw flange (E3) from the saw shaft.
PAGE 19
POWX0782   EN The spanner must be removed, after the shaft that has been tightened. Install the saw table and mount the corresponding screws. 11.2.6 Tightening the drive belt The drive belt, which is located behind a plastic cover at the right-hand side of the saw head, must be tensioned when there is more that 8 mm of play (when pushing on the middle between the two wheels), or if drive power is no longer transmitted. 11.2.

EN POWX0782 11.3 11.3.1    Modifications Modifications on the mitre and width guide (Fig. 27) Loosen the attachment screws (L1) of the guide. Adapt the guide so that it is positioned exactly at right angles to the saw blade, when the mitre table (11) is in the 0° position. Retighten the attachment screws of the guide. 11.3.2 Modifications on the mitre scale indicator (Fig.
