Operation and adjustments Unpacking Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your WEN® tool is faulty or that a part is missing. However,if you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. 1. Remove all loose parts from the carton. 2. Remove the packing materials from around the saw. 3.
Bevel lock The bevel lock (11) is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle (Fig. 5). The miter saw bevels from 0° to 45° left. WARNING: Be sure to tighten the bevel lock before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury. Fig. 6 Hold down clamp assembly The hold down clamp assembly can be mounted to the fence on either side of the saw bladedepending onwhat suits the task at hand.
Trench depth adjustment In its normal position, the trenching stop permits the saw blade to cut right through a workpiece. When the saw arm is lifted, the trenching stop can be moved to the left so that the trenching depth adjustment screw contacts the stop as the saw arm is lowered. (Fig.11).This restricts the cut to a specific “trench” in the workpiece. The depth of the trench can be adjusted with the trenching depth adjustment screw (Fig. 12) and locked in position with the trenching depth lock nut(Fig.
Setting the fence square with the table 1. 2. Make sure that the power cord is removed from the power source. Push the saw arm down to its lowest position and engage the release knob (Fig. 24) to hold the saw arm in the transport position. 3. Loosen the miter lock (Fig. 15). 4. Rotate the table until the pointer is positioned at 0º. 5. Tighten the miter lock (Fig. 15). 6. Using the 6mm hex key provided, loosen the four screws securing the fence to the base (Fig. 21). 7.
CAUTION:To ensure correctblade rotation, always installthe blade with the bladeteeth and the arrow printedon the side of the bladepointing downwards. The direction of the blade’s rotation is alsostamped with an arrow on the upper blade guard. 12. Replace the outer flange (Fig. 31). 13. Depress the spindle lock button (Fig. 28) and replace the flat washer and arbor bolt. 14. Use the 6mm hex key to tighten the arbor bolt securely (tighten in a counterclockwise direction). 15.
10. Hold the operating handle (1) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. 11. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece. Cross-cutting (with slide action) Fig. 35 When cutting wideworkpieces, first unscrew theslide lock knob(13). 1. Pull on the release knob (Fig.
4. Retighten the miter lock (Fig. 15). WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock before makinga cut. Failure to do so could result in the table movingduring the cut, causing serious personal injury. 5. Loosen the bevel lock (Fig. 16) and pull out the 0º bevel adjuster and move the saw arm to the left or right to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (Fig. 16). 6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence.
Maintenance WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the outlet before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures. • Any damage to this tool should be repaired and carefully inspected by qualified repair personnel before use. • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repairperson using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
