BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
TURNING THE SAW ON (Fig. 34)
This mitre saw is equipped with an ON/OFF
trigger switch (1). When the trigger switch is
squeezed, the mitre saw will be turned on.
NOTE: To make the ON/OFF switch childproof:
Insert a padlock (not provided), or chain with
padlock, through the hole (2) in the trigger
switch, locking the tool’s switch, preventing
children and other unqualified users from
turning the machine on.
NOTE: The mitre saw is equipped with an
electric blade brake. When the trigger switch
is released, the blade brake will stop the blade
within approximately 10 seconds.
SLIDING FENCE (Fig. 35)
• Unlock the fence cam locking lever (1) by
pushing it towards the rear of the machine.
• Extend the fence (2) by sliding it out. Lock
the fence cam locking lever (1) by pulling it
towards the fence.
NOTE: When transporting the saw, always
secure the sliding fence in the collapsed
position and lock it.

WARNING:
For your convenience, your saw has a blade brake. The brake is not a
safety device. Never rely on it to replace the proper use of the guard on
your saw. If the blade doesn’t stop within approximately 6 seconds, wait
for the blade to stop, unplug the saw and contact our toll-free helpline or
another qualified service dealer.
WARNING:
The sliding fence must be extended when making any bevel cut. Failure to
extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass
through which could result in serious injury. At extreme mitre or bevel
angles the saw blade may also contact the fence.
