General Safety Precautions for Compound Mitre Saw (Continued)
When you have finished the cut, allow the saw to rise to its 'up' position, check that the
lower guard has returned to cover the saw blade. Allow the blade to come to a stop before
removing the workpiece.
When working with timber than is bent, bowed, in wind, cupped, etc., make sure that the
offending timber is placed to the machine such that the cut will not allow the timber to 'fall'
to the table or fence and pinch the saw blade.
DO NOT allow the saw to 'stall'; if unfortunate circumstances cause the machine to stall,
switch off immediately, disconnect the machine and clear the 'jam' by hand.
DO NOT attempt to re-start the machine until the 'jam' is cleared. If it was a severe 'jam' that
required much heaving and knocking to clear, check the basic parameters of the machine
before reconnecting the supply and re-commencing operations.
Laser Radiation
Class 2 Laser
Power output<1mW
visual contacts can cause optical damage.
Remove the batteries from the battery case if the saw is to be out of use for any lengthy
period.

Initial Setup...

Remove the stowed items from the free side packaging block, i.e. the dust bag, support
bars etc., (the other packing block is fitted around the motor). Remove the free side packing
block and then lift the saw clear of the box and set it on a clear flat surface, taking care not
to trap or pinch the power cable under the chassis. Remove the packing block from around
the motor. Press the saw body down and pull the lockdown knob out to allow the saw to
rise. Remove the protective paper from the table. The machine is covered in a protective
coating and will need to be thoroughly cleaned. Use a proprietary de-greasing agent or
paraffin et al. Unfortunately, this cleaning process is always a bit 'mucky' especially if you
tackle the job with a high level of enthusiasm. You are advised to wear overalls or coveralls
etc, during the process.
After cleaning, especially if you used paraffin, dry all surfaces and possibly, lightly coat the
exposed metal surfaces to prevent any rusting. Bear in mind the stuff you will be cutting and
its possible finishing process when you choose your anti-corrosion agent.
Screw the Clamping handle bolt through the positioning arm of the turn table assembly
(See Fig 1). Attach the sawdust collection bag to the Dust extraction duct at the rear of the
machine (See Fig 2)

This machine is equipped with a Class 2 laser device. The laser must not
be replaced with any other type. The emitted radiation is not harmful in
anyway. You must not modify the laser unit in any way.
WARNING: DO NOT look directly into the laser beam or into the opening
from which the beam is emitted. NEVER allow the beam to strike reflective
surfaces, or be reflected into the eyes of people or animals. Even short
