Identification & Description of the Mitre Saw...

Operating 

The operating handle contains the trigger switch and is the handle used 

Handle

to pull the saw over into the work.

Trigger switch

Housed in the handle of the Operating handle the Trigger Switch is a 
good width switch that can be easily 'squeeze' operated  whilst pulling 
the saw over into the work. The whole hand is used to grip both the 
operating handle and the switch simultaneously.  Incorporated into the 
trigger switch and speed control circuitry is a soft start function which 
allows the blade to run up to speed, over a timed period, thus reducing 
the 'snatch' effect on the gear train, and increasing the longevity of the 
machine. 

Upper guard

Fixed guard, part of the saw body frame, covering the top part of the 
saw blade.

Rear fixed

The fixed lower guard is a wide plate, bent into a 'U' section. The saddle

lower guard

of the 'U' is bolted to the saw body frame, with the 'arms' of the 'U' 
extending on either side of the blade covering the saw teeth while the 
saw is in the 'up' position.

Pivoting

The Pivoting lower guard is a 'trough' guard that covers the lower front 

lower guard

portion of the saw blade. It is pivoted on a mounting on the Upper Guard
and is operated by a lever that rotates it out of the cutting line when the 
saw is 'pulled over'. The guard has an interlock fitted to prevent the saw 
being 'pulled over' inadvertently. A conscious action, in this case     
'thumbing' the interlock lever aside, is required to enable the saw to be 
used.

Front fixed

A small shaped plastic extrusion mounted on the upper guard that      

lower guard

covers the front lower section of the saw blade as a safety measure, 
preventing access to the front edge of the saw when the lower pivoting 
guard is rotated out of the cutting line.

Interlock lever

A small moulded  'L' shaped extrusion that is sprung loaded to engage 
with front lower section of the rotating guard. It needs to be moved out 
of the path of the front lower guard section to allow the guard to rotate 
out of the cutting line of the saw.

Main saw 

Aluminium casting that mounts all the other pieces of the mitre saw. It 

chassis

has 4 moulded feet that are bored to allow fixing screws or bolts to be 
inserted to secure the saw to a stable work surface or a 'quick mounting'
board. The front edge of the casting has a relieved terrace that has the 
'turn' scale (50˚ left to 50˚ right) raised in bas relief. Below the front 
apron of the casting are a series of castellated notches that allow the 
turn table positioning handle to pre-locate at various angles. Through the
sides of the casting are the holes for inserting the extended work        
support rails. There is a further extruded land beyond the entrance 
holes, on the underside of the chassis that are the stabilising locations 
for the end of the support rails. The front of the chassis has two drilled 
and tapped holes that run through the support rail housings and take the
small star headed bolts used to clamp the support rails in position. On 
the front of the chassis proper are two square extrusions, bored through 
to allow the mounting of the work piece clamps.
