▪ Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
▪ Do not use this saw to cut firewood.
▪ Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove
all nails and other foreign objects before beginning
sawing.
▪ Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
materials.
▪ Saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever pos-
sible.
▪ The mitre saw can be safely carried by the carry han-
dle but only once it has been removed from the mains
power and secured in the locked down position.
▪ Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.
▪ Keep the floor area around the machine level, well
maintained and free of loose materials.
▪ Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
▪ Use correctly sharpened saw blades and observe the
maximum speed marked on the blade.
WARNING: Blade replacement must be car-
ried out correctly, refer to the section on Blade Chang-
ing for details.
▪ Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the
use, adjustment and operation of the machine.
▪ Do not remove any cut-offs from the cutting area until
the guard is fully locked in place and the blade has
come to rest. The operating head shall be in upper
position.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never
be left around the work area.
▪ Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of
the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the ma-
chine is running and the saw head is not in the rest
position.
▪ Do not store materials or equipment above a machine
in such a way that they could fall into it.
▪ Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or
waste close by the blade while the machine is oper-
ating.
▪ Ensure that the machine is always fixed to a bench,
whenever possible.
▪ Support the work properly prior to operation.
▪ When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent
the workpiece from turning on both sides of the blade.
▪ When cutting long pieces which extend well over
the table width, ensure that the ends are adequately
supported at the same height as the saw table top.
Supports should be positioned in such as a way to
ensure that the workpiece does not fall to the ground
once the cut has been made. A number of supports
at regular intervals may be required if the workpiece
is extremely long.
▪ Take additional care when trenching (slotting).
▪ Ensure that the arm is properly secure when bevel-
ling.
▪ Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
▪ If you are interrupted when operating the saw, com-
plete the process and switch off before looking up.
▪ Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
are properly tightened.
▪ Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.

▪ Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let
the blade come to rest naturally.
▪ Do not lock the movable guard in the open position
and always ensure that it is working properly, freely
rotating and returning to fully cover the teeth of the
blade.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you must en-
sure that it has the right ampere rating for your power
tool and it is in safe electrical condition.
▪ Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw's own
cable, the metal parts of the saw will become "live".
Switch off at the mains and remove the plug imme-
diately.
▪ Connect the saw to a dust collection device and en-
sure that it is operated properly. As the operator of the
saw, please make sure that you understand factors
that influence exposure to dust, including the type of
material to be machined, the importance of local ex-
traction and the proper adjustment of hoods/baffles/
shoots of your dust extraction system. We recom-
mend that you always wear a dust mask when operat-
ing this saw.
▪ Report faults in the machine, including guards and
saw blades, as soon as they are discovered.
▪ To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety
regulations, the assembly instructions and the oper-
ating instructions to be found in this Manual. All per-
sons who use and service the machine have to be
acquainted with this Manual and must be informed
about its potential hazards. Children and frail people
must not use this tool. Children should be supervised
at all times if they are in the area in which the tool is
being used. It is also imperative that you observe the
accident prevention regulations in force in your area.
The same applies for general rules of occupational
health and safety.
▪ The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from
such changes.
▪ Power tools must not be used outdoors in rainy weath-
er, or in moist environment (after rain) or in close vicin-
