GENERAL SAFETY RULES 5. If operating the power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. WORK AREA 1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. PERSONAL SAFETY 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 1.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. 6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR MITRE SAWS 15. Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained and free of loose materials, e.g. chips and cut-offs. 5. Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious accidents can be caused unintentionally in this way. 16. Before use, check that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips. 6. Before using any accessory consult the instruction manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause damage.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations. BODY AND HAND POSITION Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the mitre saw will make cutting easier and safer. • Never place your hands near the cutting area or blade. • Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. • Keep your hands in position until the trigger switch has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
BASIC SAW CUTS VERTICAL STRAIGHT CROSS CUT 1. Release the table mitre lock and move the arm to the 0° position and re-tighten the table mitre lock. 2. Release the slide rail lock, and push the saw head back to the rear position. 3. Retighten the slide rail lock. 4. Place the wood to be cut against the fence. 5. Take hold of the operating handle and press and hold the blade guard release lever (1) to release the head. 6. Squeeze the trigger switch (2) to start the saw. 7.
PERFORMING A SLIDING CUT The guide rail allows cutting larger workpieces up to 340 mm x 78 mm using an out-down-back sliding motion. 1. Release the slide rail lock. 2. Pull the saw head towards you (1) and switch the saw on as mentioned on the previous page. 3. Lower the saw blade (2) into the workpiece and push the head back (3) to complete the cut. • Do not perform sliding cuts on workpieces smaller than 50 x 100 mm. • Remember to lock the saw head in the rear position when the sliding cuts are finished.
BEVEL CUTS Bevel angles can be set from 45° left to vertical and can be cut with the mitre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre position right or left. 1. Loosen the bevel adjustment handle and set the bevel at the desired angle. 2. Tighten the bevel adjustment handle firmly. 3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut. • Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force the tool. MITRE / BEVEL CUTS As the number of sides changes, so do the mitre and bevel angles.
GROOVE CUTTING Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop and thumbscrew to allow for groove cutting. 1. Firstly, determine the depth of your groove, and subtract this value from the thickness of your workpiece. This will give you the height above the table surface at which the saw blade must be set. 2. Ideally, place a template or a piece of wood, the same thickness as the saw blade height setting, on the table, beneath the saw blade. 3. Pivot the groove plate to the side position shown. 4.
TRANSPORTING 1. Lower the head and lock it down using the head lock pin. 2. Slide the head towards you and secure in place using the slide rail lock. 3. Lock the mitre arm with the table mitre lock. 4. Lock the bevel adjustment handle with the saw head in the vertical position to make the tool as compact as possible. 5. Always lift the saw using the lifting handle. THE LASER GUIDE Your saw is fitted with a laser guide to assist with accurate cutting. INSERTING THE BATTERIES 1. Remove the battery cover. 2.
