WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
inelectricshock,fireand/orseriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Theterm“powertool”inthewarningsreferstoyourmains-
operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated(cordless)
powertool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutteredordark
areasinviteaccidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractionscancauseyoutolosecontrol.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
Thereisanincreasedriskofelectricshockifyourbody
isearthedorgrounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasetheriskofelec-
tricshock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
orentangledcordsincreasetheriskofelectricshock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
ableforoutdoorusereducestheriskofelectricshock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electricshock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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 inatten-
tionwhileoperating power tools may resultin serious
personalinjury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skidsafety shoes, hardhat, or hearing protection
usedfor appropriateconditions will reducepersonal
injuries.
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.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Thisenablesbettercontrolofthepowertool
inunexpectedsituations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Looseclothes,jewelryorlonghaircanbecaught
inmovingparts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
canreducedust-relatedhazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. Acarelessactioncancausesevere
injurywithinafractionofasecond.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

3 – English
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
MITER SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

4 – English
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
miter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.
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.
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.
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.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece. Thiswill reducethe risk of the workpiece
beingthrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move 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mitersaw.
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.
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tobesuddenlypulleddownward,causing
ariskofinjury.
Save these instructions.Refertothemfrequentlyand
usetoinstructotherusers.Ifyouloansomeonethistool,
loanthemtheseinstructionsalso.
Use the proper extension cord. Makesureyourexten-
sioncordisingoodcondition.Useonlyacordheavy
enoughtocarrythecurrentyourproductwilldraw.An
undersizedcordwillcauseadropinlinevoltageresult-
inginlossofpowerandoverheating.Awiregaugesize
(A.W.G.)ofatleast14 is recommended for an extension
cord25feetorlessinlength.Ifindoubt,usethenext
heaviergauge.Thesmallerthegaugenumber,theheavier
thecord.
Inspect tool cords periodically.Ifdamaged,havere-
pairedbyaqualifiedservicetechnicianatanauthorized
servicefacility.Repairorreplaceadamagedorworncord
immediately.Stayconstantlyawareofcordlocationand
keepitwellawayfromtherotatingblade.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged.
Polarized plugs. Toreducethe riskofelectric shock,
thistoolhasapolarizedplug(onebladeiswiderthan
theother).Thisplugwillfitinapolarizedoutletonlyone
way.Iftheplugdoesnotfitfullyintheoutlet,reversethe
plug.Ifitstilldoesnotfit,contactaqualifiedelectrician
toinstalltheproperoutlet.Donotchangethepluginany
way.
Know your power tool. Readtheoperator’s manual
carefully.Learntheapplicationsandlimitationsaswell
asthespecificpotentialhazardsrelatedtothistool.
Always wear eye protection with side shields which
is marked to comply with ansi Z87.1 when using this
product. Failuretodosocouldresultinobjectsbeing
thrownintoyoureyes,resultinginpossibleseriousinjury.
Never stand on tool. Seriousinjurycouldoccurifthetool
istippedorifthecuttingtoolisunintentionallycontacted.
Keep guards in place andingoodworkingorder.
Use the right direction of feed. Feedworkintoablade,
cutter,orsandingspindleagainstthedirectionofrotation
oftheblade,cutter,orsandingspindleonly.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off. Don’tleavetooluntilitcomestoacompletestop.
Use only correct blades. Do notusebladeswithincor-
rectsizeholes.Neverusebladewashersorbladebolts
thataredefectiveorincorrect.Themaximumbladeca-
pacityofyoursawis7-1/4in.
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are
secure.
Never touch blade orothermovingpartsduringuse.
Double check all setups.Makesurebladeistightand
notmakingcontactwithsaworworkpiecebeforecon-
nectingtopowersupply.
Firmly clamp or boltyourtooltoaworkbenchortable
atapproximatelyhipheight.
