OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: The Mitre Saw should be inspected
(particularly for the correct functioning of
the safety guards) before each use. Do not
connect the saw to the power supply 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 connecting to the power
supply and operating the saw.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the saw before changing or adjusting
any of the machines parts. 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. Check the tightness of the
arbor screw.
BODY and HAND POSITIONING (Fig. 10)
• Never place your hands within the ‘no
hands zone’ (at least 150mm away from
the blade). Keep hands away from the
path of the blade.
• Secure the workpiece firmly to the table
and against the fence to prevent any
movement.
• Use a Hold Down Clamp if possible but
check that it is so positioned that it does
not interfere with the path of the blade or
other moving machine parts.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your fingers
or a hand to move into the blade.
• Before attempting a cut, make a ‘dry run’ with
the power off so that you can see the path of
the blade.
• Keep your hands in position until the ON/OFF
trigger switch has been released and the blade
has completely stopped.
