SAFE OPERATION
(3.7)
Always ensure that you have selected the correct
saw blade for the material being cut. Do not use
this mitre saw to cut materials other than those
specified in this Instruction Manual.
When transporting a mitre saw ensure that the
cutting head is locked in the 90° down position
(if a sliding mitre saw ensure that the slide bars are
locked). Lift the machine by gripping the outer
edges of the base with both hands (if a sliding
mitre saw, transport using the handles provided).
Under no circumstances shall the machine be
lifted or transported using the retractable guard
or any part of its operating mechanism.
Bystanders and other colleagues must be kept
at a safe distance from this saw. Cut debris can,
in some circumstances, be ejected forcibly
from the machine, posing a safety hazard to
people standing nearby.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed
marked on the saw blade is at least equal to
the no load speed marked on the mitre saw.
Under no circumstances shall a saw blade be
used that is marked with a speed that is less than
the no-load speed marked on the mitre saw.
Where it is necessary to use spacer or
reducing rings these must be suitable for the
intended purpose and only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
If the mitre saw is fitted with a laser it shall not
be replaced with a different type. If the laser
fails to operate it shall be repaired or replaced
by the manufacturer or authorised agent.
The saw blade shall only be replaced as
detailed in this instruction manual.
Never attempt to retrieve off-cuts or any other
part of the work-piece until the cutting head is
in the raised position, the guard is fully closed
and the saw blade has stopped rotating.
PERFORM CUTS
(3.8)
CORRECTLY & SAFELY
Wherever practicable always secure the
work-piece to the saw table using the work
clamp where provided.
Always ensure that before each cut the mitre
saw is mounted in a stable position.
If needed the mitre saw can be mounted on
a wooden base or work bench or attached to
a mitre saw stand as detailed in this instruction
manual. Long work-pieces should be
supported on the work supports provided or
on appropriate additional work supports.
WARNING: The operation of any mitre
(2.8)
saw can result in foreign objects being
thrown towards your eyes, which could result
in severe eye damage. Before beginning
power tool operation, always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shield or a
full face shield when needed.
WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not
operate your mitre saw until the missing
parts are replaced. Failure to follow this rule
could result in serious personal injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY ADVICE
(3.9)
CARRYING YOUR MITRE SAW
WARNING: When using electric tools basic
safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury including the following.
READ all these instructions before attempting to
operate this product and save these instructions.

Safety Advice:

• Although compact, this mitre saw is heavy.
To reduce the risk of back injury, get
competent help whenever you have to lift
the saw.
• Hold the tool close to your body when lifting.
Bending your knees so you can lift with your
legs, not your back. Lift by using the cutting
handle on the head of the mitre saw and
the large, orange handle on the rear of the
carriage slide.
