GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term"power
tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away fromheat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCDreduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

3
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away frommoving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards .
h) Do not let familiarity gained fromfrequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and gnore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug fromthe power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allowpersons
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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different fromintended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h)Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free fromoil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) 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.

SAFETY REGULATIONS CONCERNING MITRE SAW
a) 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 fromabrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other
plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100
mmfromeither side of the sawblade. 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
fromblade contact.
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 sawthrough the workpiece. Do not pull the sawthrough the
workpiece. To make a cut, raise the sawhead and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and
push the sawthrough 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 .
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 100
mmfromeither 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. 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 sawuntil 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 sawis mounted or placed on a level, firmwork surface
before use. A level and firmwork 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
2ON2 and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete

5
simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
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 sawblade. 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 2bite2 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 sawoff. Wait for
all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug fromthe 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 sawhead is completely in the down position. The braking
action of the saw may cause the sawhead to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions,
certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in
connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a
prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.
