SAFE OpERATiON
Always ensure that you have selected the correct
saw blade for the material being cut. Do not use
this mitre saw to cut materials other than those
specified in this Instruction Manual.
When transporting a mitre saw ensure that
the cutting head is locked in the 90° down
position (if a sliding mitre saw ensure that
the slide bars are locked). Lift the machine by
gripping the outer edges of the base with both
hands (if a sliding mitre saw, transport using
the handles provided). Under no circumstances
shall the machine be lifted or transported
using the retractable guard or any part of its
operating mechanism.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed
marked on the saw blade is at least equal to
the no load speed marked on the mitre saw.
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 his 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.
