ASSEMBLY & PREPARATION
(5.5)
PERMANENTLY MOUNTING A
CHOP SAW
WARNING: Only attempt the following
procedures with the machine disconnected
from the mains power supply.
The base on this chop saw has four mounting
holes (in the corners) through which suitable
bolts (not supplied) can be placed to secure the
machine.
Site the machine giving consideration to the
following guidelines:
• To avoid injury from flying debris, position
the saw so that other people or bystanders
cannot stand too close (or behind) it.
• Locate the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and
properly supporting the workpiece.
• Ensure that the workbench or other
supporting structure is firm and stable and
does not 'rock' .
• Ensure that the power cord cannot become
entangled with any part of the machine
during cutting operations.
• Ensure that the power cord is routed in such
a way that it does not pose a trip (or any
other type) of hazard to the operator or
any bystanders.
TRANSPORTING THE SAW
Only transport these machines with the Cutting
Head in the locked down position (Fig. 1) and
the Locking Pin fully engaged in its
UNLOCKING THE CUTTING HEAD
NOTE: We recommend that the operator keep
hold of the cutting handle throughout this
process to ensure a controlled transition of the
cutting head to the upper position.
• Gently press down on the Cutting Handle.
Pull out the Locking Pin. (Fig. 2) Allow the
Cutting Head to rise to its upper position
