ASSEMBLY GUIDE
Your Mitre Saw is supplied as 3 major component parts which
need assembling.
THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS IS A
‘ONE TIME ASSEMBLY’.
Once assembly is successfully completed no attempt to
disassemble the machine should be made. The blade and
some other smaller parts also need to be fitted by the operator.
A safety check must be carried out once assembly is completed
and before the machine is used.
The Cutting Head is supplied with an approved power cable and
plug fitted for its intended country of use.
Do not under any circumstances plug the Cutting Head
into the power supply and try to use it as a hand held
circular saw.
WARNING: Do not connect this machine to the mains power
supply until assembly has been completed and a complete
safety check is carried out.
See Final Safety Checks list on page 17.
