Assembly; Functional Description - General International MS3005 Setup And Operation Manual

● ALWAYS USE TABLE EXTENSIONS AND CLAMPS to support the
material when sawing long work pieces.
● CUT ONLY WHILE SLIDING THE CUTTING HEAD FROM FRONT TO
BACK. The material must be placed firmly against the fence and table.
The rotation of the saw blade should force workpiece down against the
table and rearward against the fence during the cut. Cutting in the other
direction; i.e. pulling the cutting head and blade towards you during the
cut, may cause the blade to climb on top of the workpiece and create
a kickback. When this happens, the cutting head may jump out of your
hand or the workpiece fly loose and cause serious injury.
● DON'T START THE SAW WITH THE BLADE IN CONTACT WITH
ANY SURFACE. The saw head may bounce up or kick back violently
and cause injury.
● IF MAKING A CUT USING ONE HAND TO HOLD THE SAW, ensure
the free hand is clear of the cutting area.
HEALTH NOTICE: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
─Lead from lead-based paints
─Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
─Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
LASER SAFETY
To reduce the risk of injury:
1. Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Eye damage may occur if you
deliberately stare into the beam.
2. The laser light beam used in this system is Class II with maximum 1 mW
and 650 nm wavelengths. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE.
3. The laser must be used and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions:
● Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the
workpiece.
● Do not project the laser beam into the eyes of others.
● Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece without
reflective surfaces as the laser beam could be projected into your eyes
or the eyes of others.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

ASSEMBLY

REMOVE ALL THE PARTS FROM THE BOX
Your Sliding Compound Miter Saw is fully assembled in the carton with the
exception of some small accessories.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

● To disengage the cutting head from its shipping and storage position,
push down lightly on it and pull out the spring-loaded head locking
button on the left side shown at I, fig.1. Turn it a quarter turn until the
pin in the shaft rests in the small groove to hold the button out.
● To unlock the sliding action, partly unscrew the carriage slide lock knob
(J, fig.1 & 2) a small knob at the right rear of the slide carriage.
● To unlock the head angle (bevel) adjustment, loosen the slip-lock bevel
adjustment lever (F, fig.1) at rear of the saw. Lock it when the blade is
tilted at the desired angle.
● Ensure the table lateral extensions, rear stabilizer, hold-down clamp,
and dust bag are attached.
