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 diff erent
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach
of children and infi rm persons.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAWS
a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-
off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower
guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn
the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm
from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this
saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely
clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there
is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped
or held against both the fence and the table.
Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut
"freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown
at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not
pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a
cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press
the saw head down and push the saw through the
workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw
blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently
throw the blade assembly towards the operator.

e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding
the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your
left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning.
The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand
may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always
make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line of the
cut.
Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and
may cause binding on tile spinning saw blade while
cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with
high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately
clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift
during cutting.
j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a
level, fi rm work surface before use.
A level and fi rm work surface reduces the risk of the
miter saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and
will not interfere with the blade or the guarding
system.
Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece
on the table, move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or
danger of cutting the fence.
I) Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table
can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown
by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the
spinning blade.
