SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Mitre 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
