STORAGE (FIG. 12)
Power cord
• For convenience and to prevent damage to
the power cord when the mitre saw is being
transported or in storage, wrap the power
cord the power cord (1) onto the storage
clips (2) when saw is not in use.
Wrench
The storage area for the wrench (3) is located
in the rear of base.
WARNING!
Make sure the lower blade guard operates
smoothly and properly protects from the
blade before using the saw.
WARNING!
To avoid injury, never use the saw without the
guard plate securely in place. It keeps the
arbour bolt from falling out if it accidentally
loosens and helps prevent the spinning blade
from coming off the saw.
Make sure the flanges are clean and properly
arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table
and check for any contact with the metal base
or the mitre table.
