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.
NOTE: The above warning is omitted for a simple
pivoting arm mitre saw.
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 150mm 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 the 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 mitre saw is mounted or placed on
a level, firm work surface before use. A level and
firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw
becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the
bevel or mitre 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.
NOTE: The phrase "bevel or" does not apply for saws
without bevel adjustment.
l) 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 mitre 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.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning saw
blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off
piece could get wedged against the blade and
thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being
cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work
with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before
contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk
of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts
to stop and disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack. Then
work to free the jammed material. Continued
sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss
of control or damage to the mitre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an
incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the down
position. The braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
Note: The above warning applies only for mitre
saws with a brake system.
