INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:
Before using your mitre
saw be sure to read the instruction
manual carefully.
Operating instructions
1. Know your mitre saw.
Read and understand the Operator’s Manual
and labels affi xed to the tool. Learn its
application and limitations as well as the
potential hazards specifi c to this tool. To avoid
injury from accidental contact with moving
parts, do not lay out, assemble or set up work
on the mitre saw.
2. Electrical connection
Your mitre saw has a precision-built electric
motor and it should only be connected to a
230 V, 50Hz. Power supply (normal household
current). Do not operate on direct current
(DC). This large voltage drop will cause a loss
of power that will overheat the motor. If your
mitre saw does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, have a professional electrician check
the power supply.
Warning:
Avoid accidental starting.
Make sure the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging the mitre saw into a
power outlet.
3. Body and hand position
Warning:
Never place hands near the
cutting area. Proper positioning of your
body and hands when
operating the mitre saw will make cutting
easier and safer. Keep children away. Keep all
visitors at a safe distance from the mitre saw.
Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw
and workpiece. Don’t force the saw. It will do
the job better and safer at its designed rate.
Starting a cut:
●
Place hands at least 190.5 mm away from
the path of the blade – out of the “no-hands
zone” (1).
●
Clamp workpiece fi rmly against the fence to
prevent movement toward the blade.
●
With the power switch OFF, bring the saw
blade down to the workpiece to see the cutting
path of the blade (See fi g. 29).
