Bench mounting (fig. I)
Note: We highly recommend that you bolt this
mitre saw securely to a work bench to gain the
maximum stability of your machine. Make sure
that the machine is fixed to a bench whenever
possible.
•
Locate and mark the four bolt holes on the
bench.
•
Drill the bench with an Ø10 mm drill bit.
•
Bolt the mitre saw onto the bench with bolts,
washers and nuts.
Note: These fasteners are not supplied with the
tool.

Use

•
Place your hands no closer that 150 mm from
the blade.
•
Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the
fence when cutting. Keep your hands in
position until the switch has been released
and the blade has completely stopped.
•
Always make dry runs (without power) before
finish cuts so that you can check the path of
the blade.
•
Do not cross your hands.
•
Keep both feet firmly on the floor and
maintain proper balance.
