Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your 909 Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
1. Remove all loose parts from the carton.
2. Remove the packing materials from around the saw.
3. Using the carrying handle (7) carefully lift the saw from
the carton and place it on a level work surface.
4. The saw has been shipped with the saw arm locked in
the down position. To release the saw arm, push down
on the top of the saw arm, pull on the release knob (5),
rotate it 45° and let go, slowly raise the saw arm.
WARNING.
Do not lift the saw whilst holding on to the
guards. Use the carrying handle (7).
Transportation
Lift the miter saw only when the
saw arm is locked in the down
position, the saw is switched
off and the plug is removed
from the power point.
Only lift the saw by the
carrying handle (7) or outer
castings (Fig. A). Do not lift
the saw using the guard or
operating handle (6).
Bench mounting
The saw base has holes in
each corner to facilitate bench
mounting (Fig. B).
1. Mount the saw to a level,
horizontal bench or work
table using bolts (not
supplied) and fix the saw to
the bench using 4 bolts.
2. If desired, you can mount
the saw to a piece of 13mm or thicker plywood which can
then be clamped to your work support or moved to other
job sites and re-clamped.
CAUTION.
Make sure that the mounting surface is not
warped as an uneven surface can cause binding and
inaccurate sawing.
Release knob
The release knob (5) is
provided for holding the
cutting head down whilst
transporting or storing the
miter saw (Fig. C). The saw
must never be used with
the release knob locking the
head down.
Slide lock
When tightened, the slide
lock (28) prevents the
saw head from sliding.
Tighten the slide lock during
transportation (Fig. D).
