WARNING! For your own safety read instruction manual before operating
mitre saw. Wear eye protection. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Do
not operate saw without guards in place. Do not perform any operation
freehand. Never reach around saw blade. Turn off tool and wait for saw
blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings. When
changing the blade, replace and secure all guarding to its original position
and correctly before starting tool. Disconnect power (or unplug tool as
applicable) before changing blade or servicing. Do not expose to rain or use
in damp locations. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear
position after each crosscut operation.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those
mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such
cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the tool nor for any
damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all
residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s
construction and design:
•
Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
•
Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
EXTENSION CORDS
•
Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock,
burn or electrocute.
•
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors
should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord
length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

UNPACKING
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your HAUSSMANN
power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. Check immediately whether all
parts and accessories are included. If anything is missing, or broken, contact
the RONA Customer Service at 1-866-599-5916 ext. 2.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been
replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
1. Remove all loose parts from the carton.
2. Remove the packing materials from around the saw.
3. Using the operating handle (3) carefully lift the saw from the carton and
place it on a level work surface.
4. The saw has been shipped with the saw arm locked in the down position.
To release the saw arm, push down on the top of the saw arm, pull on the
release knob (2), rotate it 45° and let go, slowly raise the saw arm.
WARNING. Do not lift the saw whilst holding on to the guards. Use the
operating handle (3).
TRANSPORTATION
Lift the mitre saw only when the saw arm is locked in the down position, the saw
is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point.
Only lift the saw by the operating handle (3) or outer castings. Do not lift the saw
using the guards.
BENCH MOUNTING
The saw base has holes in each corner to facilitate bench mounting.
1. Place the saw on a level, horizontal bench or work table using bolts (not
supplied) and fix the saw to the bench using 4 bolts.
2. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 1/2” (13 mm) or thicker
plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other
job sites and re-clamped.
CAUTION. Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped as an uneven
surface can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
RELEASE KNOB
The release knob (2) is provided for holding the cutting head down while
transporting or storing the mitre saw. The saw must never be used with the
release knob locking the head down.
MITRE TABLE LOCKS
The mitre table locks (15) are used to lock the table at the desired mitre angle.
The mitre saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left and right. To adjust the mitre angle
loosen the mitre table locks and rotate the mitre table to the desired position.
