the mitre saw can be mounted on a wooden
base or work bench or attached to a mitre saw
stand as detailed in this instruction manual. Long
work-pieces should be supported on the work
supports provided or on appropriate additional
work supports.

can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in severe
eye damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shield or a full face shield

operate your mitre saw until the missing parts
are replaced. Failure to follow this rule could
result in serious personal injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY ADVICE
(3.9)
CARRYING YOUR MITRE SAW
WARNING: When using electric tools basic
safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury including the following.
READ all these instructions before attempting to
operate this product and save these instructions.
Safety Advice:
• Although compact, this mitre saw is heavy.
To reduce the risk of back injury, get competent
help whenever you have to lift the saw.
• Hold the tool close to your body when lifting.
Bending your knees so you can lift with your
legs, not your back. Lift by using the cutting
handle on the head of the mitre saw and the
large, orange handle on the rear of the carriage
slide.
• Never carry the mitre saw by the power cord.
Carrying the mitre saw by the power cord could
cause damage to the insulation or the wire

connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
• Before moving the mitre saw tighten the
mitre and bevel locking screws and the sliding
carriage locking screw to guard against sudden
unexpected movement.
• Lock the cutting head in its lowest position.
Ensure that the cutting head locking pin is
completely engaged in its socket.
WARNING: Do not use the blade guard as a
'lifting point' . The power cord must be removed
from the power supply before attempting to
move the machine.
• Lock the cutting head in the down position
using the cutting head locking pin.
• Loosen the Mitre Angle locking screw. Turn the
table to either of its maximum settings.
• Lock the table in position using the
locking screw.
• Wrap the cable around the cable guide.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

(These warnings are specified in UL Std. 987 and
CAN/CSA Std.C22.2 No. 71.2)
1. Keep guards in place and in working order.
2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
3. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
4. Don't use in dangerous environment. Don't
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lit.
5. Keep children away. All visitors should be kept
safe distance from work area.
6. Make workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. Use the right tool. Don't force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table on the
next page shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
