FOR PORTABLE USE:

• Mount the saw on a 18mm thick piece of
plywood or MDF (800mm x 500mm min size
recommended) using appropriate fastenings
(not supplied).
Note: It may be necessary to countersink the
washers, nuts, etc. to the underside of the
plywood or MDF mounting board. The underside
needs to be smooth and flush with no protruding
fixings etc.
• Use 'G' clamps to attach the mounting board to
the work surface. (Fig. 44)
THE HOLD DOWN CLAMP (Fig. 45)
Note: One (1) Hold Down Clamp is provided with
the machine.
Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated
into the rear of the machines Fence.
These sockets are for positioning the Hold
Down Clamp.
To use the Hold Down Clamp during operations:
• Fit the clamp to the retaining socket that best
suits the cutting application, ensuring that it is
fully pushed down.
• Tighten the fence thumbscrew to lock the pillar
of the clamp into the fence socket.
• Place the work-piece to be cut onto the
saw table, against the Fence and in the
desired position.
• Adjust the clamp using the thumbscrews and
hand-wheel so that it securely holds the work-
piece to the saw table.
Conduct a 'dry run' with the power disconnected.
Ensure that the Hold Down Clamp does not
interfere with the path of the blade, or with the
path of any other part of the cutting head as it is
lowered to make the cut.
Note: The R255SMSL includes the 2 piece clamp.
The R255SMS+ includes a 3 piece clamp with
quick release button.
Front Clamp (Included with R255SMS+)
To fit the front clamp, place the rear of the clamp
into the holes at the front of the saw's base. There
are holes for the clamp located on both left and
right of the base. (Fig. 46)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: All mitre saws should be inspected
(particularly for the correct functioning of the
safety guards) before each use. Do not connect
the saw to the power supply until a safety
inspection has been carried out.
WARNING: Ensure that the operator is
adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and maintenance of this machine, before
connecting it to the power supply and
commencing operations. To reduce the risk
of injury, always unplug the saw before
changing or adjusting any of the machines
parts. Compare the direction of the 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. Check
the tightness of the arbor screw.
BODY & HAND POSITIONING (Fig. 47)
(8.3)
• Never place your hands within the 'no hands
zone' (at least 150mm away from the blade).
• Keep hands away from the path of the blade.
• Secure the work-piece firmly to the table and
against the fence to prevent any movement.
• Use a Hold Down Clamp at all times but check
that it is so positioned that it does not interfere
with the path of the blade or other moving
machine parts.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your fingers or
a hand to move into the blade.
• Before attempting a cut, make a 'dry run' with
the power off so that you can see the path of
the blade.
• Keep your hands in position until the ON/
OFF trigger switch has been released and the
blade has completely stopped.
THE ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH (Fig. 48)
The ON/OFF motor trigger switch is a
non-latching type. It is ergonomically
positioned inside the Cutting HANDLE.
To start the motor:
• Press the switch to start the motor.
• Release the switch to turn off the motor.
