Usage Features:

The POW8002 offers several features to enhance usability and precision:

Bench Mounting: The saw base has mounting holes in each corner, allowing it to be securely bolted to a workbench or table for stable operation. Rubber feet are supplied for this purpose.
Release Knob: A release knob is provided to hold the cutting head down for transport or storage. It is crucial not to use the saw with the release knob locking the head down.
Spindle Lock Lever: This lever prevents the blade from rotating, facilitating safe and easy blade replacement.
Adjustable Bevel Angle: The saw head can be tilted to set the desired bevel angle. A lock knob and bevel gauge (21) are used for this adjustment. The bevel angle gauge can be calibrated for precision.
Adjustable Mitre Angle: The saw table can be turned left or right to set the desired mitre angle. A lock knob and angle gauge (7) are used for this adjustment.
Work-piece Support: Retaining rods can be fitted into holes on either side of the saw to support longer workpieces, adapting to different cut types.
Dust Bag: A dust bag (17) can be attached to the dust outlet (23) to collect wood chippings, helping to keep the work area cleaner.
Removable Blade Guard: The saw features a removable blade guard (1) with a lock lever (2) for safety and access during blade changes. The guard automatically closes when the upper arm is raised.
Safety Switch: The switch button (11) on the handle must be depressed to operate the saw.
Calibration: Both 90° and 45° bevel angles can be calibrated using an adjustment screw, Allen key, and spanner to ensure accurate cuts.

Maintenance Features:

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the POW8002:

Cleaning: After each use, wood chippings should be brushed off, especially from the dust extraction port and around the motor to prevent fire hazards. The dust bag should be emptied regularly. The blade guard should be cleaned with a damp cloth, avoiding corrosive solvents.
Lubrication: Periodically oiling all moving parts of the saw is recommended to extend its life.
Blade Replacement: The manual provides clear instructions for safely replacing the saw blade, emphasizing disconnecting the power supply and using the spindle lock.
General Maintenance: The machine is designed for long-term operation with minimal maintenance, but continuous satisfactory performance relies on proper care and regular cleaning.
Service: Any repairs should be carried out by a qualified specialist using standard spare parts to ensure the tool meets safety standards.

Safety Warnings:

The manual emphasizes general power tool safety warnings, including keeping the working area clean, ensuring electrical safety, wearing personal protective equipment (eye and noise protection), and proper power tool use and care. Specific warnings for the mitre saw include using only specified blade flanges, avoiding damage to arbor/flange, securing the table base, removing nails from workpieces, ensuring the shaft lock is released before operation, and keeping hands clear of the saw blade. It is critical to ensure the blade is not touching the workpiece before starting the saw and to allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting.
