BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
• For your convenience, your saw has a blade
brake. The brake is not a safety device.
Never rely on it to replace the proper use
of the guard on your saw. If the blade
doesn’t stop within approximately
10 seconds, wait for the blade to stop,
unplug the saw and contact the service
centre or another qualified service dealer.
TURNING THE SAW ON (Fig. 34)
• This mitre saw is equipped with an ON/OFF
trigger switch (1). With the safety lock (2)
pressed, squeeze the trigger switch to turn
the mitre saw ON.
NOTE:
• To make the ON/OFF switch childproof,
insert a padlock (not provided), or chain
with padlock, through the hole (3) in the
trigger switch, locking the tool’s switch,
preventing children and other unqualified
users from turning the machine on.
• The mitre saw is equipped with an electric
blade brake. When the trigger switch is
released, the blade brake will stop the
blade within approximately 10 seconds.
SLIDING FENCE (Fig. 35)
• Unlock the fence cam locking lever (1) by
pushing it towards the rear of the machine.
• Extend the fence (2) by sliding it out. Lock
the fence cam locking lever (1) by pulling it
in towards the fence.
NOTE:
When transporting the saw, always
secure the sliding fence in the collapsed
position and lock it.

WARNING!
• The sliding fence must be extended when making any bevel cut. Failure to
extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass
through which could result in serious injury. At extreme mitre or bevel
angles the saw blade may also contact the fence.
