(8.1) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution:
The Mitre Saw should be inspected (particularly for
the correct functioning of the safety guards) before each use.
Do not connect the saw to the power supply until a safety
inspection has been carried out.
Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and maintenance of the machine, before
connecting to the power supply and operating the saw.
(8.2) WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
the saw before changing or adjusting any of the machines parts.
Compare the direction of the rotation arrow on the guard to
the direction arrow on the blade. The blade teeth should always
point downward at the front of the saw. Check the tightness
of the arbor screw.
(8.3) BODY & HAND POSITIONING (Fig. 6)
• Never place your hands within the ‘no hands zone’ (at least
150mm away from the blade). Keep hands away from the
path of the blade.
• Secure the workpiece firmly to the table and against the
fence to prevent any movement.
• Use a Hold Down Clamp if possible but check that it is so
positioned that it does not interfere with the path of the
blade or other moving machine parts.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your fingers or a hand to move
into the blade.
• Before attempting a cut, make a ‘dry run’ with the power
off so that you can see the path of the blade.
• Keep your hands in position until the ON/OFF trigger switch
has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
