ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION
(7.1)
WARNING: Always disconnect the saw from the power
source before making any adjustments.
PERMANENTLY MOUNTING THE MITRE SAW
(7.2)
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. 1).
• 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 workpiece.
• 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.
FOR PORTABLE USE
(7.3)
• Mount the saw on a 18mm thick piece of plywood or
MDF (800mm x 500mm min size recommended)
using appropriate fastenings (not supplied).
• It may be necessary to countersink the washers, nuts, etc.
to the underside of the plywood or MDF mounting board
to avoid an uneven work surface.
• Use G-clamps to attach the mounting board to the
work surface (Fig. 2).
Note: Some machines are fitted with a rear stabilizing arm found
just below the bevel pivot.
If so fitted, this arm should be deployed/withdrawn from the base,
particularly if the machine is to be used free standing on a work
bench (Fig. 3).
This arm will provide extra stability to prevent the machine from
tumbling in the event of sudden release of the cutting head.
