WORKPIECE SUPPORTS
Workpiece supports must be fitted to both sides of the
machine (Fig.10)
HOLD DOWN CLAMP
A Hold Down clamp is supplied with the R210MTS-G2.
Two sockets (one on either side) are incorporated into the rear
of the machines fence. (Fig. 11)
• Fit the pillar of the clamp into the socket that best suits the
cutting application, ensuring that it is pushed fully down.
• Tighten the fence thumbscrew to lock the pillar of the hold
down clamp into the fence socket.
• Put the workpiece onto the rotary table and against the
fence.
• Adjust the hold down clamp so that it securely holds the
workpiece to the rotary table.
• Before attempting any cutting check to ensure that the
clamp does not interfere with the blade path as the cutting
head is lowered.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MITRE SAW CONFIGURATION
1. Releasing the Cutting Head
Note: When configured in mitre saw mode the cutting head
will be automatically locked in its upper position with the
retractable lower blade guard completely covering the blade
teeth.
To release the cutting head press and hold the cutting head
release lever. (Fig. 12)
Gently press down on the cutting head handle to lower the
cutting head. The operation of the retractable lower blade
guard is automatic, when in contact with the workpiece.
2. Body and Hand position (Fig. 13)
• Never place hands within the 'no hands zone' (at least
150mm away from the blade). Pictograms on the machines
rotary table are provided as an aid to safe working practices.
Keep hands away from the path of the blade.
• Hold the workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent any
movement. Use a hold down clamp if possible but check
that it is positioned that it does not interfere with the path
of the blade or other moving machine parts.
• Before attempting a cut, make a 'dry run' with the power off
so that you can see the path of the blade.
• Keep hands in position until the ON/OFF trigger has been
released and the blade has completely stopped.
