■ FENCE
The rear fence on your slide compound mitre saw
has been provided to hold your workpiece securely
against when making all cuts.
■ SELF-RETRACTING LOWER
BLADE GUARD
The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant,
see-through plastic that provides protection from
each side of the blade. It retracts over the upper
blade guard as the saw is lowered into the
workpiece.
WARNING: Your slide compound mitre
saw has 4 holes for mounting to the
work bench. Always make sure your
compound mitre saw is securely
mounted to a workbench or an
approved workstand. Failure to do so
could result in an accident causing
serious personal injury.
■ ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
You saw has a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 240
volts AC, 50-60 Hz, only (normal household
current). Do not operate this tool on direct current
(DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-
check the power supply.
WARNING: The operation of any power
tool can result in foreign objects being
thrown into your eyes, which can result
in severe eye damage. Before beginning
power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields and a full face shield when
needed. We recommend a Wide Vision
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or
standard safety glasses with side shields.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify
this tool or create accessories not
recommended for use with this tool.
Any such alteration or modification is
misuse and could result in a hazardous
condition leading to possible serious
personal injury.
