PRE-CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Inspect the machine before
each use. Inspect particularly for the correct
functioning of the safety guards. Only
connect the machine to a power supply
after a thorough safety check has been
carried out.
BODY and HAND POSITIONING
Correct operator stance
(Fig. 12)
and
positioning is an important safety
consideration when operating any Mitre
Saw.
●Never place your hands within the ‘no
hands zone’ (at least 150mm away from the
blade).
●The work-piece must be firmly secured to
the machines table and against the fence to
prevent any movement during cutting.
●Use the Hold Down clamp to secure the
work-piece. Ensure that the Hold Down
clamp is so positioned that it does not
interfere with the path of the blade or other
moving machine parts.
●Do not attempt ‘awkward’ operations
where a sudden slip could cause your
fingers or hands 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.
●DO NOT OVER-REACH.
●Keep good footing and balance. Stand to
one side so that your face and body are out
of line of a possible kickback.
●
Freehand
cutting is a major cause of
accidents and
should not be attempted
.
BEGINNING OPERATIONS
RELEASING the CUTTING HEAD
The Cutting Head will automatically rise to
the upper position once it is released from
the locked down position.
It will automatically lock in the upper
position.
To Release the Cutting Head from the
Locked Down position:
●Gently press down on the Cutting Handle.
●Pull out the Cutting Head Latching Pin
(Fig. 13)
and allow the Cutting Head to rise
to its upper position.
If Release is Difficult:
●Gently rock the Cutting Head up and
down.
●At the same time twist the Head Latching
Pin clockwise and pull outwards.
NOTE:
We recommend that when the
machine is not in use the Cutting Head is
locked in its down position with the latching
pin fully located beneath the lock down
bracket
THE MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. 14)
The ON/OFF Motor Trigger Switch is a
non-latching type. It is ergonomically
positioned on the inside of the Cutting Head
‘D’ handle.
●Press the switch to start the motor.
●Release the switch to turn off the motor.
Note:
The motor of this machine has two (2)
speeds. Refer to ‘SELECTING THE
MOTOR SPEED’
BASIC CHOP CUTTING
This type of cut is used mainly for cutting
small or narrow section material.
The Cutting Head is gently pushed down to
cut through the work-piece.
The Sliding Carriage should be locked in its
rearmost position.
