OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MITRE SAW CONFIGURATION
Disconnect the Table Mitre Saw from the mains supply and
inspect your Saw before each use.
Note: It is important that the operator is adequately trained
in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine and has
read this instruction and safety manual before commencing
operations.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the
saw before changing or adjusting any of the machines parts.
Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard to
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.
In mitre saw configuration the lower auxiliary guard should be
removed from the machine and safely stored for future use.
The upper blade guard must be secured to the riving knife
using the sprung loaded locating pin.
The table should be adjusted so that it is in its upper most
position. See section 2 Table Saw Configuration for adjusting
procedure. In this position the upper blade guard will be
effectively locked down over the crown of the blade.
1. Releasing the saw head
•
Gently press down on the cutting handle.
•
Pull out the head stop latching knob and allow the head to
rise to its upper position. (Fig. 8)
Note: The cutting head will automatically lock in the upper
position.
We recommend that when the machine is not in use the cutting
head is locked in its down position, and the latching knob fully
engaged in its socket.
2. Preparing to make a cut
•
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hands to move into
the blade.
•
Cut only one workpiece at a time.
•
Clear everything except the workpiece and related support
devices away from the blade before turning the mitre
saw on.
•
Secure workpiece using clamps to hold the workpiece
securely.
