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.
t) Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.
GENERAL SAFETY
WARNINGS FOR YOUR
LASER
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
These lasers do not normally present an optical
hazard although staring at the beam may cause flash
blindness.
Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may
exist if you deliberately stare into the beam, please
20V Sliding Miter Saw
observe all safety rules as follows:
1. The laser shall be used and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Never aim the beam at any person or an object
other than the work piece.
3. The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at
another person and shall be prevented from being
directed towards the eye of a person for longer
than 0.25 seconds area.
4. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy
work piece without reflective surfaces, e.g. wood
or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright
shiny reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable
for laser applications as the reflective surface may
direct the laser beam back at the operator.
5. Do not change the laser device with a different type.
The manufacturer or an authorized agent must
carry out repairs.
6. CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Additional safety warning for class 2 laser
The laser device fitted to this tool is CLASS 2 with a
maximum radiation of 1mW and 650nm wavelength.
CLASS 2 LASER RADIATION, DO NOT STARE
INTO BEAM
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow
the liquid to come into contact with the skin
or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the
affected area with copious amounts of water
and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean
dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when
