4. MOUNTING BOLT (SEE FIG. D)
Before use, the mitre saw can be fixed to a firm, level and
stable supporting surface, such as a workbench.
Four mounting holes have been provided in the saw
base for this purpose. Each of these four mounting holes
should be securely bolted using appropriate machine
bolt with suitable lock washer and hex nut (not supplied).
To mount the saw, proceed as follows:
1) Locate and mark where the saw is to be mounted.
2) Drill 4 holes through the surface.
3) Place the sliding mitre saw on the surface aligning
holes in base with holes drilled in the surface.
4) Install and tighten the bolts, washers and hex nuts.
Carefully check the workbench after mounting the saw
to make sure that no movement can occur during use.
If any tipping, sliding or walking is noted, secure the
workbench to the floor before operating.
NOTE: The saw can be used without the need to mount.
However, if you will be using the saw for a long period of
time, we advise that it is mounted securely.
BEFORE OPERATION
s
1. RELEASE KNOB (SEE FIG. E1, E2)
The release knob is provided for holding the saw head
down while transporting or storing the mitre saw.
When boxed, during storage or transportation, ensure
the saw head is locked in the down position. To release
the head ready for operation, apply downward pressure
on the operating handle, pull out the release knob and
allow the head to rise to the upper position.
To lock the saw head down for transportation, push the
lower blade lock lever outwards a little and lay down the
saw head by pressing the operating handle downwards
to its lowest position. Then push the release knob into
original place to lock the saw head in the lowest position.
NOTE: The saw must never be used with the release knob
locking the head down.
