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 specied 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.
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 oor area clear of all
debrisincludingsawdust,chipsando-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.
