OPERATION
The product features a moving saw blade that can be set
at various angles by the operator when cutting a workpiece
which is securely fi xed to the base of the product. It must
be operated by only one person to prevent unintentional
contact with the moving saw blade.
The principles for safe operation of the product are as
follows:
■
Maintain saw, blades and work area in good condition.
■
Secure the mitre saw base to a sturdy work bench. The
product may move and tip if it is not adequately secured.
■
Set up and lock the cutting angles and depth before
making the cut.
■
Secure the workpiece to the mitre saw base. Use the
clamp provided and, where necessary, use additional
clamps or holding mechanisms to prevent unintentional
movement of the workpiece while cutting.
●
Check that the operation of the blade guards are not
restricted by the position of the workpiece.
●
Ensure that the fence and other parts of the product
will not be cut as the blade lowers to the cutting
position.
■
Start the motor and allow the blade to reach full speed
before slowly lowering it to cut the workpiece.
■
Allow the blade assembly to rise to its upper position
where the blade guards are fully closed. Switch off the
motor and allow the blade to come to a complete stop
before removing the workpiece or off-cuts, or before
reaching into the area of the blade.
Before fi rst use, ensure that the angle of the bevel or mitre
set on the product matches the angle to be produced on
the workpiece. Check this on a discarded piece of wood by
using a carpenter's set or mitre square.
