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.
PERFORM CUTS CORRECTLY
(3.8)
AND SAFELY
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY ADVICE -
(3.9)
CARRYING YOUR MITRE SAW
• 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.
