PERMANENTLY MOUNTING
THE MITRE SAW
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw
movement, place the saw in the desired location
either on a workbench or other suitable machine
stand. The base of the saw has four mounting
holes through which suitable bolts (not supplied)
can be placed to secure the mitre saw. If the saw
is to be used in one location, permanently fasten
it to the workbench using appropriate fastenings
(not supplied). Use locking washers and nuts on
the underside of the workbench. (Fig. 42 )
• To avoid injury from flying debris, position the
saw so that other people or bystanders cannot
stand too close (or behind) it.
• Locate the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and
properly supporting the work-piece.
• Support the saw so the machine table is level
and the saw does not rock.
• Bolt or clamp the saw securely to its support
stand or workbench.
Note: This machine can be attached to the
Evolution Mitre Saw Stand. (Fig. 44). This will
provide a safe secure, and extremely portable
workshop stand which is capable of handling
long pieces of material. Operator efficiency and
safety may thus be enhanced, as well as operator
fatigue reduced.

FOR PORTABLE USE:

• Mount the saw on a 18mm thick piece of
plywood or MDF (800mm x 500mm min size
recommended) using appropriate fastenings
(not supplied).
Note: It may be necessary to countersink the
washers, nuts, etc. to the underside of the
plywood or MDF mounting board. The underside
needs to be smooth and flush with no protruding
fixings etc.
• Use 'G' clamps to attach the mounting board to
the work surface. (Fig. 44)

THE HOLD DOWN CLAMP (Fig. 45)
Note: One (1) Hold Down Clamp is provided with
the machine.
Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated
into the rear of the machines Fence.
These sockets are for positioning the Hold
Down Clamp.
To use the Hold Down Clamp during operations:
• Fit the clamp to the retaining socket that best
suits the cutting application, ensuring that it is
fully pushed down.
• Tighten the fence thumbscrew to lock the pillar
of the clamp into the fence socket.
• Place the work-piece to be cut onto the
saw table, against the Fence and in the
desired position.
• Adjust the clamp using the thumbscrews and
hand-wheel so that it securely holds the work-
piece to the saw table.
Conduct a 'dry run' with the power disconnected.
Ensure that the Hold Down Clamp does not
interfere with the path of the blade, or with the
path of any other part of the cutting head as it is
lowered to make the cut.
Note: The R255SMS includes the 2 piece clamp.
The R255SMS+ includes a 3 piece clamp with
quick release button.
Front Clamp (Included with R255SMS+ UK
model only)
To fit the front clamp, place the rear of the clamp
into the holes at the front of the saw's base. There
are holes for the clamp located on both left and
right of the base. (Fig. 46)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: All mitre saws should be inspected
(particularly for the correct functioning of the
safety guards) before each use. Do not connect
the saw to the power supply until a safety
inspection has been carried out.
WARNING: Ensure that the operator is
adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and maintenance of this machine, before
connecting it to the power supply and
commencing operations. To reduce the risk
of injury, always unplug the saw before
changing or adjusting any of the machines
