BEFORE EACH USE
Inspect your saw.
• Disconnect the mitre saw. To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug the saw
before any adjustments, including set-up and blade changes.
• Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard to the direction arrow on
the blade. The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw.
• Tighten the arbour bolt.
• Tighten the cover plate screw.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for:
• Alignment of moving parts
• Damaged electric cords
• Binding of moving parts
• Mounting holes
• Function of arm return spring and lower guard: push the cutting arm all the
way down, then let it rise until it stops. The lower guard should fully close.
Follow instructions in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE for adjustment.
• Other conditions that may affect the way the mitre saw works.
WARNING:
BEFORE USING THE MITRE SAW

the tool in until the following steps are completed:
• Completely assemble and adjust the saw following the instructions
(ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS).

lower blade guards, stop latch, bevel lock handle, and cover plate screws.
• Review and understand all safety instructions and operating procedures
in this owner’s manual (SAFETY & OPERATIONS).

mitre saw.
• To avoid injury or possible death from electric shock, make sure your
fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging in or
unplugging your mitre saw (ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY).

a bevel cut.
