OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: The Mitre Saw should be inspected
(particularly for the correct functioning of the safety
guards) before each use. Do not connect the saw to
the power supply until a safety inspection has been
carried out.
Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the
use, adjustment and maintenance of the machine,
before connecting to the power supply and operating
the saw.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
the saw before changing or adjusting any of the
machines parts. Compare the direction of the rotation
arrow on the guard to the direction arrow on the blade.
The blade teeth should always point downward at
the front of the saw. Check the tightness of the arbor
screw.
BODY AND HAND POSITIONING (FIG. 5)
• Never place your hands within the ‘no hands
zone’ (at least 150mm away from the blade). Keep
hands away from the path of the blade.
• Secure the workpiece firmly to the table and
against the fence to prevent any movement.
• Use a Hold Down Clamp if possible but check that
it is so positioned that it does not interfere with
the path of the blade or other moving machine
parts.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your fingers or a hand to
move into the blade.
• Before attempting a cut, make a ‘dry run’ with
the power off so that you can see the path of the
blade.
• Keep your hands in position until the ON/OFF
trigger switch has been released and the blade
has completely stopped.
