conditions in terms of table height and stability. The machine site
shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows
handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of increased vibration, make sure the
environment is not too cold, the machine and accessory are well
maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine.
Switching On and Off (Fig. 1)
A hole (BB) is provided in the trigger switch (A) for insertion of a

Use of XPS LED Worklight System (Fig. 1)
TM
NOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a power source.
The XPS LED Worklight System (HH) is equipped with an on/off
TM
switch (GG). The XPS LED Worklight System is independent of
TM
the mitre saw's trigger switch. The light does not need to be on in
order to operate the saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
1. Turn on the XPS system, then pull down on the operating
TM
handle (C) to bring the saw blade (H) close to the wood. The
shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.
2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade's shadow.
You may have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order to
match the pencil line exactly.

Body and Hand Position

Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the
mitre saw will make cutting easier, more accurate and safer.
WARNING:
• Never place your hands near the cutting area.

cuts so that you can check the path of the blade.
• Do not cross your hands.
• Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain
proper balance.
