MOUNTING THE MITRE SAW (FIG. BB)
To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
a.
Before moving the saw, disconnect the power cord
from the outlet, and lock the cutting head in the lower
position using the lock pin.

use only. It is NOT to be used for holding the saw
while cutting.
b.

the switch handle. Carrying the too! by the power
cord could cause damage to the insulation or the
wire connections
resulting in electric shock or fire.
e.
To avoid injury from flying debris, do not allow
visitors to stand behind the saw.
Mounting
instructions

Place the saw on a firm, level workbench or other
work surface. The base of the saw has four mounting
holes.
2.
For stationary use, place the saw in the desired
location, directly on a workbench, where there is room
for handling and properly supporting the workpieces.
Bolt the base of the mitre saw (1) to the worksurface (5),
using the fastening method as shown in Fig. BB.
