Under no circumstances shall a saw blade be
used that is marked with a speed that is less than
the no-load speed marked on the mitre saw.
Where it is necessary to use spacer or
reducing rings these must be suitable for the
intended purpose and only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
If the mitre saw is fitted with a laser it shall not
be replaced with a different type. If the laser
fails to operate it shall be repaired or replaced
by the manufacturer or authorised agent.
The saw blade shall only be replaced as
detailed in this instruction manual.
Never attempt to retrieve off-cuts or any other
part of the work-piece until the cutting head is
in the raised position, the guard is fully closed
and the saw blade has stopped rotating.
PERFORM CUTS
(3.8)
CORRECTLY & SAFELY
Wherever practicable always secure the
work-piece to the saw table using the work
clamp where provided.
Always ensure that before each cut the mitre
saw is mounted in a stable position.
If needed 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.
WARNING: The operation of any mitre
(2.8)
saw 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 when needed.
WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not
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.
