GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
MITER SAW SAFETY RULES
Miter 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 cut-
ting 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer
than 100 mm 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.
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.
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,
wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small de-
bris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact
the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
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.
Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level,
firm work surface before use. A level and firm work sur-
face reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable.
Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
miter 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. With-
out 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.
