GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or 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 from heat, 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 RCD
reduces 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 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.
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 energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
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 from moving 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.
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 from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

3
starting the power tool accidentally.
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 tool’s 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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MITRE SAWS
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 from abrasive
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
g) 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

4
cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
h) 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.
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 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.
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 “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.
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
saw blade. 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 “bite” 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 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.
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.
t) Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.

continuously. Release switch to turn off.
2. TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITRE SAW (SEE
FIG F)
1. Remove the battery pack.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the tool before
assembling parts, making adjustments or changing
blades.
2. Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full
height.
3. Loosen (unscrew) the mitre table lock knob
approximately one-half turn.

12
4. Press mitre lock plate down with your thumb and
hold.
5. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle on the mitre scale.
6. Release the mitre lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62°
left or right, and 45oleft or right by releasing the lock
plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate
will seat itself in one of the positive stop notches,
located in the mitre table frame.
7. Tighten the mitre table lock knob securely.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS tighten the mitre table lock knob
securely BEFORE making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in movement of the control arm or mitre table
while making a cut.
8. Place work-piece flat on the mitre table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence. If
the concave edge of the board is against the fence,
the board could collapse on the blade at the end of
the cut and jam the blade.
9. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the opposite end of the stock with a roller
stand or with another work surface that is level with
the saw table.
10. Align cutting line on the work-piece with the edge
on the saw blade.
11. Hold the stock firmly with one hand and secure
it against the fence. Use the hold-down clamp to
secure the work-piece when possible.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal
injury, ALWAYS keep your hands outside the
“no hands zone”(red lines); at least 80mm from
blade. Also, NEVER perform any cutting operation
“freehand” (i.e. without holding work-piece against the
fence); the blade could grab the work-piece, causing it
to slip and twist.
12. BEFORE turning on the saw, perform a dry run of
the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems
will occur when the cut is made.
13. Hold the saw handle firmly, when squeezing the switch
trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach
maximum speed.
14. Slowly lower the blade into and through the work-piece.
15. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating BEFORE raising the blade out of the work-
piece.
Wait until the electric brake stops the blade from turning
BEFORE removing the work-piece from the mitre table.
3. BEVEL CUTTING (SEE FIG. G)
A bevel cut is a cut made across the grain of the
work-piece with the blade at an angle to the work-
piece.
A straight bevel cut is made with the mitre table
set in the 0oposition and the blade set at an angle
between 0oand 45o.
4. COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING (SEE FIG. H)
A compound mitre cut is a cut made using a mitre
angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of
cut is used for moldings, picture frames, and boxes
with sloping sides.
To make this type of cut the control arm on the mitre
table must be rotated to the correct angle and the
saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle.
ALWAYS take special care when making compound
mitre setups due to the interaction of the two angle
settings.
Adjustments of mitre and bevel settings are
dependent on one another. Each time you adjust
the mitre setting, you change the effect of the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting,
you change the effect of the mitre setting. It may

take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The
first angle setting should be checked after setting
the second angle, since adjusting the second angle
affects the first. Once the two correct settings for a
particular cut have been obtained, ALWAYS make a
test cut in scrap material BEFORE making a finish cut
in good material.
To Make a Compound Mitre Cut With Your Mitre
Saw
1. Remove the battery pack.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the tool before
assembling parts, making adjustments or changing
blades.
2. Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full
height.
3. Loosen the mitre table lock knob. Rotate the mitre
table lock knob approximately one-half turn to the left
to loosen.
4. Lift mitre lock plate to disengage.
5. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle on the mitre scale.
6. Release the mitre lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0o, 15o, 22.5o, 31.62oand
and 45oleft or right by releasing the mitre lock plate
as you rotate the control arm. The mitre lock plate
will seat itself in one of the positive stop notches,
located in the mitre table frame.
7. Tighten the mitre table lock knob securely.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS tighten the mitre table lock knob
securely BEFORE making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in movement of the control arm or mitre table
while making a cut. The 45otriangle on the mitre
fence provides for the maximum clearance required
for adjusting the mitre saw angle when making a
bevel or compound cut.
8. Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm
to the left to the desired bevel angle. Bevel angles
can be set from 0oto 45o.
9. Align the indicator point with the desired angle.
10. Once the saw arm has been set at the desired
angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
11. Bevel angles can be set from 0oto 45o.
12. Place work-piece flat on the mitre table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence. If
the concave edge of the board is against the fence,
the board could collapse on the blade at the end of
the cut and jam the blade.
13. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the work-piece with a roller stand or other
support to bring the work-piece level with the saw
table.
14. Align cutting line on the work-piece with the edge
on the saw blade.
15. Hold the stock firmly with one hand and secure
it against the fence. Use the hold-down clamp to
secure the work-piece when possible.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal
injury, ALWAYS keep your hands outside the
“no hands zone” (red lines); at least 80mm from
blade. Also, NEVER perform any cutting operation
“freehand” (i.e. without holding work-piece against the
fence); the blade could grab the work-piece, causing it
to slip and twist.
16. MAKE SURE that there will be no obstructions to
interfere with making the cut.
17. Hold the saw handle firmly, when squeezing the
switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to
reach maximum speed.
18. Slowly lower the blade into and through the work-
piece.
19. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating BEFORE raising the blade out
of the work-piece. Wait until the electric brake stops
the blade from turning BEFORE removing the work-
piece from the mitre table.
5. SUPPORT LONG WORK-PIECE
Long work-pieces require extra supports. The
supports should be placed along the work-piece so
it does not sag. The support should allow the work-
piece to lay flat on the base of the saw and work table
during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp to
secure the work-piece.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal
injury, ALWAYS keep your hands outside the
“no hands zone” (red lines); at least 80mm from
blade. Also, NEVER perform any cutting operation
“freehand” (i.e. without holding work-piece against the
fence); the blade could grab the work-piece, causing it
to slip and twist.
