ACCESSORIES
The TC12DBSMS mitre saw is supplied with
the following accessories as standard:
• Saw blade (fitted)
• Workpiece clamp
• 6mm hex key
• Side bars x2
• Stabiliser bar (fitted)

UNPACKING
Due to modern mass production
techniques, it is unlikely that your Power
Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. 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. Using the carrying handle (8) carefully lift
the saw from the carton and place it on a
level work surface.
4. The saw has been shipped with the saw
arm locked in the down position. To
release the saw arm, push down on the
top of the saw arm, pull on the release
knob (6), rotate it 45° and let go, slowly
raise the saw arm.
WARNING. Do not lift the saw
whilst holding on to the guards. Use
the carrying handle (8).
TRANSPORT
Lift the mitre saw only
when the saw arm is
locked in the down
position, the saw is
switched off and the
plug is removed from
the power point. Only
lift the saw by the carrying handle (8) or
outer castings. Do not lift the saw using the
guard or operating handle (7).
BENCH MOUNTING
The saw base has
holes in each corner
to facilitate bench
mounting.
1. Mount the saw to
a level, horizontal
bench or work table
using bolts (not supplied) and fix
the saw to the bench using 4 bolts.
2. If desired, you can mount the saw to
a piece of 13mm or thicker plywood
which can then be clamped to your work
support or moved to other job sites and
re-clamped.
CAUTION. Make sure that the mounting
surface is not warped as an uneven surface
can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
STABILISER BAR
When the saw is not
fitted to a bench,
always fit the stabiliser
bar (39) into the holes
at the rear of the saw
base. The stabiliser
helps prevent the saw
from tipping backwards
when the slide action is used.

RELEASE KNOB
The release knob (6)
is provided for holding
the cutting head down
whilst transporting or
storing the mitre saw.
The saw must never be
used with the release
knob locking the head down.
SLIDE LOCK
When tightened,
the slide lock (29)
prevents the saw head
from sliding. Tighten
the slide lock during
transportation.
MITRE TABLE LOCK
The mitre table lock
(25) is used to lock the
table at the desired
mitre angle.
The mitre saw cuts
from 0° to 45° both
left and right. To adjust
the mitre angle loosen the mitre table lock
and using the mitre table handle adjust the
mitre angle to the desired position. The
mitre table features positive click stops at
0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° for quick setting
of common mitre angles.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the
mitre table lock before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in the table
moving during the cut and cause serious
personal injury.
BEVEL LOCK
The bevel lock (16) is
used to set the blade
at the desired bevel
angle. The mitre saw
bevel cuts from 0°
to 45° to the left and
right. To adjust the
bevel angle loosen the bevel lock and pull
out the 0° bevel adjuster (18). Adjust the
saw arm to the desired bevel angle.
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.
BEVEL ADJUSTER
The bevel adjuster (18)
needs to be pulled out
before the bevel angle
can be adjusted.
To return the saw
arm to the vertical
(0° bevel) position move the saw arm to
the left and push in the 0° bevel adjuster.
Return the saw blade to the vertical
position, it will automatically stop at the 0°
bevel position. Tighten the bevel lock.
CLAMP ASSEMBLY
The clamp assembly (10) can be mounted
to the fence, either side of the saw blade,
to suit the task at hand.
Use the clamp assembly lock (11) at the
back of the fence to secure the clamp
assembly in position.
SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
The spindle lock button
(26) prevents the
blade in the saw from
rotating. Depress and
hold the spindle lock
button while installing,
changing, or removing
the blade.
