Gloves should be worn when handling blades or

should be carried in a holder wherever practicable. It
is not advisable to wear gloves when operating the
mitre saw.
WARNING: When using electric tools basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including
the following. Read all these instructions before
attempting to operate this product and save these
instructions.
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 degree 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.
Bystanders and other colleagues must be kept at a
safe distance from this saw. Cut debris can, in some
circumstances, be ejected forcibly from the machine,
posing a safety hazard to people standing nearby.
Only use the saw with guards in good working
order, properly maintained and in position.
WARNING: Only check the operation of the blade
guarding system with the machine disconnected
from the power supply.
To check blade guard operation: Raise and lower
the Cutting Head several times and visually check the
operation of the retractable blade guard.
Note: The retractable blade guard should exhibit no
signs of judder but smoothly draw into the upper blade
guard as the Cutting Head is lowered. As the Cutting
Head is returned to the upper position, the blade guard
should emerge from the upper blade guard to fully
enclose the machines blade.
• Ensure that in the full upper position the Cutting
Head is locked in place by the Blade Guard
Locking Lever and that the blade is fully covered
by the guard.
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.
PERFORM CUTS CORRECTLY 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 -
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 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.
