ENGLISH
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will make sure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
!
Warning! Additional safety warnings for mitre saws.
Do not use cracked, bent, damaged or deformed saw
blades.
Replace the table insert when worn.
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this manual,
complying with EN 847-1.
Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades.
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough material
(saw blades should be carried in a holder when practicable).
Use the dustbag provided when sawing wood.
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts arising from
sanding applications may endanger the health of the
operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask
specifically designed for protection against dust and fumes
and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.
Consider using specially designed noise-reduction
blades.
Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
This mitre saw has been designed for sawing wood,
plastic and non-ferrous metal only.

Do not operate the machine without the guard in
position. Do not operate the machine if the guard does
not function or is not maintained properly.
Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing
bevel cuts.
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well
maintained and free of loose materials, e.g. chips and
off-cuts.
Ensure the machine and the work area are provided
with adequate general or localised lighting.
Do not allow untrained people to operate this machine.
Ensure that the blade is mounted correctly before use.
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Keep the blade sharp.
Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
The laser fitted must never be exchanged with a
different type of laser. Repairs to the laser should be
carried out by authorised repair agents or Black &
Decker service staff.
Disconnect the machine form the mains before carrying
out any maintenance or when changing the blade.
Never perform any cleaning, maintenance, removal of
any off-cuts or other parts of the work piece form the
cutting area when the machine is running and the saw
head is not in the rest position.
When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with a
clamping device or a vice is more secure than when
held with the hand.
Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked. Do not work
with pieces that are too small to clamp, otherwise, the
distance of the hands to the rotating saw blade is too
small. Always use extra support when sawing long
workpieces.
Make sure all locking knobs and handles are tight
before starting any operation.
Never use your saw without the table insert.
Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw
is connected to the mains supply.
Never attempt to stop the machine in motion rapidly by
jamming a tool or other means against the blade;
serious accidents can be caused unintentionally in this
way.
Before using any accessory consult the instruction
manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause
damage.
Do not use any abrasive discs.
Raise the blade from the table insert in the workpiece
prior to releasing the on/of switch.
Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor
shaft.
