ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION
WARNING: Always disconnect the saw from the
power source before making any adjustments.
NOTE: It is recommended that all instructions are always
read before operating.
PERMANENTLY MOUNTING THE MITRE SAW
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw
movement, place the saw in the desired location either
on a workbench or other suitable machine stand. The
base of the saw has four mounting holes through
which suitable bolts (not supplied) can be placed to
secure the miter saw. If the saw is to be used in one
location, permanently fasten it to the workbench using
appropriate fastenings (not supplied). Use locking
washers and nuts on the underside of the workbench.
(Fig. 1)
• To avoid injury from flying debris, position the saw
so that other people or bystanders cannot stand
too close (or behind) it.
• Locate the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and properly
supporting the workpiece.
• Support the saw so the machine table is level and
the saw does not rock.
• Bolt or clamp the saw securely to its support
stand or workbench.
FOR PORTABLE USE:
• Mount the saw on a 18mm thick piece of
plywood or MDF (800mm x 500mm min size
recommended) using appropriate fastenings (not
supplied).
• It may be necessary to countersink the washers,
nuts, etc. to the underside of the plywood or MDF
mounting board to avoid an uneven work surface.
• Use G-clamps to attach the mounting board to the
work surface. (Fig. 2)
NOTE: Some machines are fitted with a rear stabilizing arm
found just below the Bevel Pivot.
If so fitted, this arm should be deployed/withdrawn from the
base, particularly if the machine is to be used free standing
on a work bench. (Fig. 3)
This arm will provide extra stability to prevent the machine from
toppling in the event of sudden release of the Cutting Head.
