SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING MACHINERY

WARNING:

As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their

operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably

lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions

are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to

property, may result.

1. READ and BECOME FAMILIAR with the entire operating manual. Learn

the machines’ applications and limitations as well as the specific

potential hazards peculiar to it.

2. EARTH ALL MACHINES. If the machine is equipped with three-pin plug,

it should be plugged into a three-pin electrical socket. Never remove

the earth pin.

3. ALWAYS ensure that ADEQUATE LIGHTING is available. A minimum

intensity of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed

so that you will not be working in your own shadow.

4. CHECK for DAMAGE. Before using the machine, any damaged part,

such as a guard etc., should be checked to ensure that it will operate

properly, and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of

moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition

that may affect the machines’ operation. Any damage should be

properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT USE the

machine. Consult your local dealer.

5. DISCONNECT the MACHINE from the power supply before servicing

and when changing accessories such as blades, etc.

6. KEEP GUARDS in place and in working order.

7. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, manufactured to the latest European

Safety Standards. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation

is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they

are NOT safety glasses.

8. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite

accidents.

9. ALWAYS WEAR EAR PROTECTORS/DEFENDERS.

10. DON’T FORCE the machine. It will do a better and safer job at the rate

for which it was designed.

11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking

to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the

machine before switching on.

12. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate machine while under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper accessories

could be hazardous.

14. NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power OFF. Do

not leave machine until it comes to a complete stop.

15. ALWAYS REMOVE PLUG from electrical outlet when adjusting, changing

parts, or working on machine.

16. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power machines in

damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area

well illuminated. DO NOT USE in explosive atmosphere (around paint,

flammable liquids etc.).

17. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from

the work area, especially whilst operating the unit.

19. MAINTAIN MACHINE IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean

for the best and safest performance. Follow maintenance instructions.

21. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.

For best footing, wear rubber soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil,

scrap wood, etc.

22. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Loose clothing or jewelry may get caught

in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

23. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Cover the saw adequately when not

in use, to prevent children from damaging themselves by tampering

with it.

24. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the

machine is tipped or if a cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do

not store materials above or near a machine, such that it is necessary

to stand on the machine to reach them.

25. HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE Whenever transporting or installing

machinery, and always use a lifting tool.

26. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Ensure the switch is OFF before plugging

in to mains.

27. BE AWARE that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity.

ALWAYS concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

for MITRE SAWS

1. Wear safety goggles as protection against flying wood chips and saw

dust. In many cases, a full face shield is even better protection. A dust

mask is also recommended to keep saw dust out of your lungs.

2. Use a solid wood workbench which will not move under load.

3. This saw is for indoor, domestic use only.

4. Clear the work table of all objects except the workpiece (tools, scraps,

rulers etc.) before switching on the saw.

5. Keep your fingers well away from the blade.

6. Switch off the saw, and make sure the blade has come to a complete

stop before clearing sawdust or off-cuts from the table.

7. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the

workpiece to be sawn.

8. Set up the machine and make all adjustments with the power OFF,

and disconnected from the supply.

9. DO NOT operate the machine with the guards removed. They must all

be in place and securely fastened when performing any operation

10. Use ONLY approved replacement saw blades. Contact your local

CLARKE dealer for advice. The use of inferior blades may increase the

risk of injury.

11. DO NOT saw any material that does not have a flat surface on which

to bear.

12. This machine is designed for cutting wood. DO NOT use for cutting

metal, plastics or masonry.

13. Do Not force the blade, lower it gently into the work.

14. Ensure you have complete control of the Cutting Head at all times.

When a cut is completed, return it to its uppermost position gently. DO

NOT allow it to snap back heavily under spring pressure.

15. Always clamp the work to the table...DO NOT perform freehand

operations.

16. Ensure that the portion of the workpiece being cut bears firmly against

the back fence.

17. Provide adequate support for long workpieces.

18. Never use solvents for cleaning plastic parts as this could cause

damage to the material. A soft damp cloth only is required.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply

through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator

switch.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with

the following code:

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

As the colours of the flexible lead of this appliance may not correspond

with the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as

follows:

Connect BROWN cord to terminal marked with “L” or coloured RED.

Connect BLUE cord to the terminal marked with “N” or coloured BLACK.

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric

cable (i.e. non-rewirable) please note:

1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There

is a danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket

outlet.

2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the

correct replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).

4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or

most electrical stockists.

Fuse Rating

The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating -13amps

and this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.

Cable Extension

If a cable extension is needed, it is essential to ensure that the size of the

conductors is at least the same size as those of the power cable supplied.

PRINCIPAL PARTS OF THE SAW

Fig.1

Fig.2

FEATURES (Ref. Fig. 3)

As its’ name implies, the machine is a Bevel/Mitre Saw, capable of straight

cross cutting, and cutting bevels and mitres, or a combination of the two.

The main arm, or Cutting Head, carries the motor and the tungsten carbide

saw blade. It is allowed to swivel to produce mitre cuts and tilt to the left

to produce bevel cuts.

The maximum sizes of wood that may be cut in any of these processes is

given under Specifications on page 15.

A dust extraction outlet (E) is provided at the rear of the machine. If required

it can be connected to a vacuum cleaner which will provide fast and

efficient removal of sawdust. The vacuum cleaner may be used

continuously or intermittently depending upon your requirements.

Saw blades with a bore of 18mm or 20mm may be used.

This saw is not designed for cutting metal, plastics or masonry.

Fig.3

ASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION. Ref: Fig. 3

The saw is fully assembled and adjusted at the factory. On receipt inspect

the machine to ensure that all parts are accounted for and that no

damage was incurred during transit.

Loose items are: 1x Peg spanner, and 1x Box spanner

Any deficiency or damage should be reported to your CLARKE dealer

immediately.

Mount the machine on a firm solid base that will not move under load.

Ensure there is an appropriate electrical supply, and adequate lighting,

so that you will not be working in your own shadow.

Four holes are provided, one at each corner of the base, so that the

machine may be bolted permanently to a workbench for added stability,

using 8mm bolts (not provided). Alternatively it may be bolted to a piece

of plywood with a thickness of 16mm (5/8”).

The Cutting Head is locked in its lower position for transit purposes. To release

it, pull out the Head Locking Knob (B), (It may be necessary to apply slight

downward pressure to the head in order to do so), and allow the head to

rise to its upper position gently, under control.

The head will lock in its upper position, and is prevented from being lowered

until the Head Release Button (A) is pressed

OPERATION. (Ref Fig.4)

A. Cross Cutting. (at 90°)

First, set the work in place with one end firmly clamped against the table

and back fence.

It is important to ensure that one end of the workpiece is completely free

to move i.e. NOT clamped or held in any way. This will normally be the off-

cut or shorter end.

NOTE: If the workpiece is not entirely straight, ensure that the portion at

either side of the intended cut rests firmly against the table and back

fence.

When satisfied, make a final check to ensure that all safety precautions

are being complied with, then pull and hold the starter switch (G, Fig.1),

and allow the blade to reach full speed. If any unusual sounds or vibrations

occur, release the starter switch immediately and investigate the cause.
