PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order
to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to
prevent the possibility of the loss of sight from
ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health.
We recommend the use of an approved face
mask with replaceable filters when using
this machine in addition to using the dust
extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades
or rough material. It is recommended that saw
blades should be carried in a holder wherever
practicable. It is not advisable to wear gloves
when operating the mitre saw.

SAFE OPERATION
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 degree
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.
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 his 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.
