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 mitre 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. 41)
• 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 work-piece.
• 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.
Note: This machine can be attached to the
Evolution Mitre Saw Stand. (Fig. 42). This will
provide a safe secure, and extremely portable
workshop stand which is capable of handling long
pieces of material. Operator efficiency and safety
may thus be enhanced, as well as operator fatigue
reduced.

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).
Note: It may be necessary to countersink the
washers, nuts, etc. to the underside of the plywood
or MDF mounting board. The underside needs to be
smooth and flush with no protruding fixings etc.
• Use 'G' clamps to attach the mounting board to
the work surface. (Fig. 43)

THE HOLD DOWN CLAMP

Note: One (1) Hold Down Clamp is provided with
the machine.
Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated into
the rear of the machines Fence.
These sockets are for positioning the Hold Down
Clamp.
To use the Hold Down Clamp during operations:
• Fit the clamp to the retaining socket that best
suits the cutting application, ensuring that it is
fully pushed down.
• Tighten the fence thumbscrew to lock the pillar of
the clamp into the fence socket.
• Place the work-piece to be cut onto the
saw table, against the Fence and in the desired
position.
• Adjust the clamp using the thumbscrews and
hand-wheel so that it securely holds the work-
piece to the saw table.
Conduct a 'dry run' with the power disconnected.
Ensure that the Hold Down Clamp does not
interfere with the path of the blade, or with the path
of any other part of the cutting head as it is lowered
to make the cut.
Note: The R185SMS includes the 2 piece clamp. The
R185SMS+ includes 3 piece clamp.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: All mitre saws 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.
WARNING: Ensure that the operator is
adequately trained in the use, adjustment and
maintenance of this machine, before connecting
it to the power supply and commencing
operations. 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.
