do the following:
1. Lower the saw head to its lowest position.
2. Return the cutting arm locking knob (A) to its original position, that means that the button's pin must be engaged in the
vertical slot.
5. POSITION OF HANDS AND FEET WHILE CUTTING
You will be able to make cuts with your mitre saw more easily and in a safer manner
if you properly position
your hands and body. Position yourself to
the side of the saw, do not place yourself in the line of risk of
debris projection.
• Keep proper footing and balance. Keep your
hands at least 10 cm from the blade. Hold the piece of wood
firmly against the guide and keep your hands in position
until the trigger is fully released and the blade
is completely stopped.
• Before making a cut:
- Carry out a "simulation" with the power off to determine
the blade path or
- Turn on the laser and double check the blade path between
the tracings of the dual laser. Refer to the section "Use and adjustment of the Dual Laser Guidance System" if an adjustment
is necessary.
Y
The circular work area of the table is designated as a "danger zone". Never place your hands inside this area when the
tool is running.
Y
CAUTION!
- Do not cross your arms in front of the blade while using the mitre saw.
- Make sure the table is secured and that the bevel is also locked before using the mitre saw.
6. CUTTING A PIECE OF WOOD
Y
CAUTION!
Before you start cutting with your saw, make sure it was properly assembled and adjusted. Make sure you have read
and understood all of the safety instructions in this manual.
Make sure the table lock handle is properly tightened before making a cut. Serious injuries can occur if these warnings are
not respected.
To start cutting with your mitre saw:
1. Raise the saw head to its uppermost position.
2. Select and lock the desired angle for the mitre cut.
3. Select and lock the desired angle for the bevel cut.
4. Make sure the size of the piece to be cut is adapted to the power of the saw.
5. Fasten the piece to be cut to the saw with the clamp.
6. Hold large pieces securely to avoid their tipping or use lateral extensions or side tables.
7. Make sure your hands are well outside the path of the blade.
8. Pull the saw head towards you along the radial sliding rails.
9. Hold the trigger to start the motor and let the saw blade reach full speed.
10. Then lower the blade slowly through the cut piece and slide the blade in the opposite direction to complete the cut. Do
not force the blade. In fact, it will be more efficient and accurate if used at the rate for which it is intended.
11. Release the start trigger, allow the blade to stop itself and reposition the saw head in the uppermost position once the cut
is complete.
CAUTION!
Do not cut metal pieces with your mitre saw. This saw is not guaranteed if you cut metal with it. The manufacturer assumes
no liability for any problem if the machine was used to perform work other than that for which it was designed.
