MAKING A BASIC CUT (Fig. 33)
BODY AND HAND POSITION
Starting a cut:
• Place hands at least 7 1/2" (19 cm) away
from the path of the blade – out of the
“no-hands zone” (1).
• Hold workpiece firmly against the fence to
prevent movement towards the blade.
• Turn the laser guide on for pre-alignment of
your cut.
• With the power switch OFF, bring the saw
blade down to the workpiece to see the
cutting path of the blade.
• Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.
• Lower blade into workpiece with a firm
downward motion.
Finishing a cut:
• Hold the cutting arm in the down position.
• Release trigger switch and wait for all
moving parts to stop before moving your
hands and raising the cutting arm.
• If the blade doesn’t stop within 10 seconds,
unplug the saw and follow the instructions
in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section.
Before freeing jammed material:
• Release trigger switch.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the mitre saw.

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.
