WARNING: Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gasses or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such
as pipes radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools
to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment
such as dust masks, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the offposition before connecting to
power source and or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger
on the switch or energising the power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or key left attached
to a rotating part of a power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that
these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool.
Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at a
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if
the switch does not turn it on
or off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from
the power source and/or battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these Instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of moving parts
and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation.
Page 4
If damaged, have the power tool
paired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b) If the replacement of the supply
cord is necessary, this has to be
done by the manufacturer or its
agent in order to avoid a safety
hazard.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: The Mitre Saw 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.
Ensure that the operator is
adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and maintenance of the
machine, before connecting to the
power supply and operating the saw.
WARNING: 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.

PREPARING TO MAKE A CUT
BODY and HAND POSITIONING
(See )
NOTE: Correct operator stance and
positioning is very important when
operating any Mitre Saw.
1) 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.
2) Secure the workpiece rmly to the
table and against the fence to prevent
any movement.
3) Use a Hold Down Clamp if possible
but check that it is so positioned that
it does not interfere with the path of
the blade or other moving machine
parts.
4) Avoid awkward operations and
hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause your ngers or a hand to
move into the blade.
5) Before attempting a cut, make a
‘dry run’ with the power off so that
you can see the path of the blade.
6) Keep your hands in position until
the ON/OFF trigger switch has
been released and the blade has
completely stopped.
14
Page 27
DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance.
Stand to one side so that your face
and body are out of line of a possible
kickback.
WARNING: Freehand cutting
is a major cause of accidents
and should not be attempted.
1) Ensure that the workpiece is
always rmly resting against the
fence, and where practical is clamped
with the Hold Down Clamp to the
table.
2) The saw table should be clean and
free from any sawdust etc. before the
workpiece is clamped into position.
3) Ensure that the ‘cut-off’ material
is free to move sideways away from
the blade when the cut is completed.
Ensure that the ‘cut-off’ piece cannot
become ‘jammed’ in any other part of
the machine.
4) Do not use this saw to cut small
pieces. If the workpiece being cut
would cause your hand or ngers to
be within 150mm of the sawblade,
the workpiece is too small.
Page 28
RELEASING THE CUTTING HEAD
The Cutting Head will automatically
rise to the upper position once it
is released from the locked down
position.
It will automatically lock in the upper
position.
To Release the Cutting Head from the
Locked Down position:
1) Gently press down on the Cutting
Handle.
2) Pull out the Cutting Head latching
pin (See ) and allow the Cutting
Head to rise to its upper position.
If Release is Difcult:

CUTTING CROWN MOULDING
Your JCB Sliding Mitre Saw is
suited to the difcult task of cutting
crown moulding. To t properly,
crown moulding must be compound
mitred with extreme accuracy. The
two surfaces on a piece of crown
moulding that t at against the
ceiling and wall are at angles that,
when added together, equal exactly
90°.
33.90 CROWN MOULDING BEVEL
STOP
A positive stop set at 33.90 to the Left
Hand is available when the Crown
Moulding Pin is deployed. (See )
28
Page 35
1) Twist the moulding pin ¼ of a turn
in either direction to deploy the pin.
2) Pull out and twist ¼ turn in either
direction to lock the pin in the
released position.
Most crown moulding has a top rear
angle (the section that ts at against
the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear
angle (the section that ts at against
the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut crown
moulding for a 90° inside or outside
corner, lay the moulding with its
broad back surface at on the saw
table. When setting the bevel and
mitre angles for compound mitres,
remember that the settings are
interdependent – changing one
changes the other, as well.
