GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions 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 electric (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 of the power tool.
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 grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is 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.

SCMS254SB 02
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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
dust collection 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
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. 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.
b) If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
6. 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 or fire.

SCMS254SB 03
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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 object
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) User abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; Avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with copious
amounts of water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from
the batter may cause irritation or burns.
7 Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
a) Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metals can be harmful to one’s health and
cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory
infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
b) Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
8 Safety Warnings for Chop and Mitre
Saws
a) Never stand on the power tool. Serious
injuries can occur when the power tool tips over
or when inadvertently coming into contact with
the saw blade.
b) Make sure that the guard operates properly
and that it can move freely. Never lock the
guard in place when opened.
c) Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips,
etc. from the sawing area while the machine is
running. Always guide the tool arm back to the
neutral position first and then switch the machine
off.
d) Guide the saw blade against the workpiece
only when the machine is switched on. Otherwise
there is damage of kickback, when the saw blade
becomes wedged in the workpiece.
e) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
f) Operate the power tool only when the work
area to the workpiece is clear of any adjusting
tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or
other objects that come in contact with the
rotating saw blade can strike the operator with
high speed.
g) Keep the floor free of wood chips and material
remainders. You could slip or trip.
h) Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to
clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of your hand to
the rotating saw blade is too small.
i) Use the machine only for cutting the materials
listed under Intended Use. Otherwise, the
machine can be subject to overload.
j) If the saw blade should become jammed,
switch the machine off and hold the workpiece
until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. To
prevent kickback, the workpiece may not be
moved until after the machine has come to a
complete stop. Correct the cause for the jamming
of the saw blade before restarting the machine.
k) Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw
blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.

SCMS254SB 04
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
l) Always use saw blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of bore. Saw
blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
m) Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
n) Do not touch the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes
very hot while working.
o) Never operate the machine without the
insert plate. Replace a defective insert plate.
Without flawless insert plates, injuries are
possible from the saw blade.
p) Check the cable regularly and have a
damaged cable repaired only through an
authorised customer service agent. Replace
damaged extension cables. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
q) Store the machine in a safe manner when
not being used. The storage location must be
dry and lockable. This prevents the machine
from storage damage, and from being operated
by untrained persons.
r) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
r) Never leave the machine before it has come
to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still
running can cause injuries.
s) Never use the machine with a damaged
cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull
the mains plug when the cable is damaged
while working. Damaged cables increase the risk
of an electric shock.
9. Safety Warnings for Lasers
The mitre saw has a built-in laser light. The laser is
CLASS IIIa. These lasers do not normally present an
optical hazard. However, DO NOT stare at the
beam, as this can cause flash blindness.
a) Do not remove or deface any product labels.
Removing product labels increases the risk of
exposure to laser radiation.
b) The laser beam can be harmful to the eyes.
Always avoid direct eye exposure. Do not project
the laser beam directly into the eyes of others or
at any object other than the workpiece.
c) Do not look directly into the laser-beam-
output aperture during operation.
d) Turn the laser on only when making cuts. The
laser on the mitre saw is not a toy. Always keep it
out of the reach of children. The laser light
emitted from this device should never be directed
toward any person for any reason.
e) Always turn the laser beam off when it is not
in use. Leaving the tool on increases the risk of
someone inadvertently staring into the laser’s
beam.
f) Be sure that the laser beam is aimed at a
workpiece (such as wood or a rough-coated
surface) that does not have a reflective surface.
g) Do not use on materials that have shiny,
reflective surfaces, such as sheet metal. The
reflective surface could reflect the beam back at
the operator. Be aware that laser light reflected
off of a mirror or any other reflective surfaces can
also be dangerous.
h) Always wear laser-protective eyewear when
working on or near reflective surfaces.
9.8 Do not attempt to activate the laser when the
tool housing is removed.
i) The laser is activated by means of a button
switch that is independent of the main switch for
the saw.

SCMS254SB 05
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
j) Do not replace the laser light assembly with a
different one. Any repairs must be carried out by
the laser manufacturer or an authorized service
agent.
k) Do not attempt to repair the laser guide by
yourself.
l) Do not attempt to change any parts of the
laser guide.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the dust collector itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
dust collector and ventilation slots clean.
If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by an authorized
service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
If the dust collector should fail despite the care
taken in manufacturing and testing procedures,
repair should be carried out by an authorised
service centre.
1. Store the tool, instruction manual and
accessories in a secure place. In this way you will
always have all the information and parts on
hand.
2. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean
at all times.
3. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is
best done with compressed air or a rag.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic
parts.
General inspection
1. Regularly check that all the fixing screws are
tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
SERVICE
1.Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

components of qualifying products (see clauses
1.2.1 to 1.2.8) will be free from defects caused
by faulty construction or manufacture.
1.2. During this period Lumberjack, will repair or

1.2.1 You follow the claims procedure set out in
clause 2
1.2.2 Lumberjack and its authorised dealers are
given reasonable opportunity after receiving
notice of the claim to examine the product
1.2.3 If asked to do so by Lumberjack or its
Authorised dealer, you return the product at
your own cost to Lumberjack’s or supplying
Authorised Dealer’s premises, for the
examination to take place clearly stating the
Returns Material Authorisation number given by
Lumberjack or an Authorised Dealer.

industrial use, accidental damage, fair wear and
tear, wilful damage, neglect, incorrect electrical
connection, misuse, or alteration or repair of the
product without approval.
1.2.5 The product has been used in a domestic
environment only

2. Claims Procedure
2.1 In the first instance please contact the
Authorised Dealer who supplied the product to
you. In our experience many initial problems with
machines that are thought to be faulty due to
faulty parts are actually solved by correct setting
up or adjustment of the machine. A good
Authorised Dealer should be able to resolve the
majority of these issues much more quickly than
processing a claim under the guarantee. If a
return is requested by the Authorised Dealer or
Lumberjack, you will be provided with a Returns
Material Authorisation number which must be
clearly stated on the returned package, and any
accompanying correspondence. Failure to provide
a Returns Material Authorisation number may
result in item being refused delivery at Authorised
Dealer.
2.2 Any issues with the product resulting in a
potential claim under the guarantee must be
reported to the Authorised Dealer from which it
was purchased within 48 hours of Receipt.
2.3 If the Authorised Dealer who supplied the
product to you has been unable to satisfy your
query, any claims made under this Guarantee
should be made directly to Lumberjack. The Claim
itself should be made in a letter setting out the
date and place of purchase, giving a brief
explanation of the problem which has led to the
claim. This letter should be then sent with proof
