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 CORRECTLY
AND 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 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
CARRYING YOUR MITRE SAW
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.
• To reduce the risk of back injury, 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 handhold areas at each
side of the machines base.
• 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.
• Use the two carry handle cut-outs machined
into either side of the machine base,
to transport the machine.
Place the saw on a secure stationary work
surface and check the saw over carefully.
Check particularly the operation of all the
machines safety features before attempting
to operate the machine.
