HOLD DOWN CLAMP (Fig. 3)
Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated into the rear
of the machines fence. These sockets are for positioning the top
hold down clamp.
• Fit the clamp to the retaining socket that best suits the cutting
application, ensuring that it is fully pushed down.
• Place the workpiece to be cut onto the saw rotary table,
against the fence and in the desired position.
• Adjust the clamp using hand-wheel so that it securely holds the
workpiece to the saw table.
Conduct a 'dry run' with the battery removed. Ensure that the top
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.

THE SLIDING UPPER FENCE SECTION

Note: The left hand side of the fence has an adjustable upper
section. When some acute mitre or bevel angles are selected it may
be necessary to slide the upper portion of the fence to the left. This
should normally create the clearance necessary to allow the cutting
head and blade to be lowered without them fouling any other
parts of the machine.
To adjust the fence:
• Loosen the thumbscrew (Fig. 4).
• Slide the upper section of the fence left to the required position
and tighten the thumbscrew.
• Conduct a 'dry run' with the battery removed from the machine
to confirm that there is no interference between machine parts
as the cutting head is lowered.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: The mitre saw should be inspected (particularly for the
correct functioning of the safety guards) before each use. Do not
insert the battery until a safety inspection has been carried out.
Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and maintenance of the machine, before inserting the battery and
operating the saw.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always remove the
battery from the machine before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance. 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 (Fig.5).
Check the tightness of the arbor screw.
BODY AND HAND POSITIONING (Fig. 6)
• Never place your hands within the 'No Hands Zone'
(at least 100mm away from the blade). Keep hands
away from the path of the blade.
No-Hands Zone
• Secure the workpiece firmly to the table and against
the fence to prevent any movement.
• Use a top hold down clamp if possible but check that it is
so positioned that it does not interfere with the path
