SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE
SAWS
1Mitre 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.
2Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always
keep your hand at least 4” (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.
3The 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.
4Push 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.
5Never 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
dang erous.
6Do not reach behind the fence with
either hand closer than 4” (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.
7Inspect 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.

7
JCB-MS-305SB-L
Instruction & User Manual
8 Do not use the saw until 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.
9Cut 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.
10 Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or
placed on a level, firm work surface
before use.
–A level and firm work surface reduces the risk
of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
11 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 “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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 Let the blade reach full speed before
contacting the workpiece.
–This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown.
17 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.
18 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.

8JCB-MS-305B-L
Instruction & User Manual
19 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.
Safety instructions for the
handling of saw blades
1 Only use saw blades if you have mastered
their use.
2 Observe the maximum speed. The
maximum speed specified on the saw blade
may not be exceeded. If specified, observe
the speed range.
3 Observe the motor / saw blade direction
of rotation.
4 Do not use any saw blades with cracks.
Dispose of cracked saw blades. Repairs are
not permitted.
5 Clean grease, oil and water off of the
clamping surfaces.
6 Do not use any loose reducing rings or
bushes for the reducing of holes on saw
blades.
7 Make sure that fixed reducer rings for
securing the saw blade have the same
diameter and are at least 1/3 of the cutting
blade width.
8 Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel
to each other.
9 Handle the saw blade with caution. They
are ideally stored in the originally package or
special containers. Wear protective gloves in
order to improve grip and to further re-duce
the risk of injury.
10 Prior to the use of saw blades, make sure
that all protective devices are properly
fastened.
11 Prior to use, make sure that the saw blades
meets the technical requirements of this
electric tool and is properly fastened.
12 Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting
wood and plastic, never for the processing
of metals.
This electric tool generates an
electromagnetic field during operation. This
field can impair active or passive medical
implants under certain conditions. In order to
prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the

Important. To make 90° crosscuts, the
extension block (34a) must be fixed at the inner
position.
• Open the set screw (34b) for the extension
block and push the extension block inwards.
• The extension block (34a) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position
that the distance between the extension
block (34a) and the saw blade (19) amounts
to a maximum of 0.3” (8 mm).
• Before making a cut, check that the extension
block (34a) and the saw blade (19) cannot
collide.
• Secure the set screw (34b) again.
• Loosen locking handle (8) and lift up the turn
table release lever (9).
• Use locking handle (8) to adjust the turn
table (26) to the desired angle. The pointer
(35) on the turn table must match the
desired angle on the mitre scale (27) on the
base (6).
• Re-tighten the locking handle (8) in order to
secure the turn table (26).
• Cut as described under section “Cross cut
90° and turn table 0°”.

The crosscut saw can be used to make mitre
cuts of 0° - 45° in relation to the work face.
Important. To make mitre cuts (inclined saw
head), the extension block (34a) must be fixed
at the outer position.
• Open the set screw (34b) for the extension
block (34a) and push the adjustable exten-
sion block outwards.
• The extension block (34a) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position
that the distance between the extension
block (34a) and the saw blade (19) amounts
to a maximum of 8 mm.
• Before making a cut, check that the exten-
sion block (34a) and the saw blade (19)
cannot collide.
• Secure the set screw (34b) again.
• Move the motor (20) to the top position.
• Fix the turn table (26) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the bevel lock knob (24) and use the
handle (1) to angle the motor (20) to the left,
until the pointer (33) indicates the desired
angle measurement on the scale (25).
• Re-tighten the bevel lock knob (24).
