mains-operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
whichmayignitethedustorfumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
youtolosecontrol.
Electrical Safety
1. 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. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tricshockifyourbodyisearthedorgrounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5.
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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7.
Power tools can produce electromagnetic elds
(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,
users of pacemakers and other similar medical
devices should contact the maker of their device and/
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
causesevereinjurywithinafractionofasecond.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.

Safety instructions for mitre saws
1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive 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.Sparksfromabrasivecuttingwillburnthe
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
2.
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.Ifyour
hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is
anincreasedriskofinjuryfrombladecontact.
3.
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 "free-
hand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving work-
piecescouldbethrownathighspeeds,causinginjury.
4. 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
islikelytocausethesawbladetoclimbontop
oftheworkpieceandviolentlythrowtheblade
assemblytowardstheoperator.
5.
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. hold-
ing the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with
yourlefthandorviceversaisverydangerous.
6. 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 proxim-
ityofthespinningsawbladetoyourhandmaynot
beobviousandyoumaybeseriouslyinjured.
7. 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
cantwistorshiftandmaycausebindingonthe
spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be
nonailsorforeignobjectsintheworkpiece.
5ENGLISH
8. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work-
piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or
otherobjectsthatcontacttherevolvingbladecan
be thrown with high speed.
9.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpiecescannotbeadequatelyclampedorbraced
andmaybindonthebladeorshiftduringcutting.
10. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on
a level, rm work surface before use. A level
andrmworksurfacereducestheriskofthemitre
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 exten-
sions, 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
ifnotsecurelysupported.Ifthecut-offpieceor
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrownbythespinningblade.
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
cuttingoperationpullingyouandthehelperinto
the spinning blade.
14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade.Ifconned,i.e.usinglengthstops,the
cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
andthrownviolently.
15. Always use a clamp or a xture designed to
properly support round material such as rods
or tubing.Rodshaveatendencytorollwhile
being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
workwithyourhandintotheblade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing 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.
Continuedsawingwithajammedworkpiececould
cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
18. After nishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the cut-off piece.
Reachingwithyourhandnearthecoastingblade
is dangerous.
19. Hold the handle rmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down posi-
tion.Thebrakingactionofthesawmaycause
thesawheadtobesuddenlypulleddownward,
causingariskofinjury.
20. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specied in the man-
ual.Useofanincorrectlysizedblademayaffect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tionwhichcouldresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with
a speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the tool.
22. Always select the correct saw blade for the
material to be cut. Do not use the saw blade to
cut materials other than those specied.
Additional instructions
1. Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and
miter cutting in wood. Do not use the saw to
cut other than wood.
2. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
3. Never stand on the tool.Seriousinjurycould
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionallycontacted.
4. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
5. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
open position.
6. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
7.
To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the
full rear position after each crosscut operation.
8. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
9. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
10. Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or dam-
aged blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by
rst removing it from tool, then cleaning it with
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
11. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting oper-
ation and the saw blade is driven rapidly
towards the operator. Loss of control and seri-
ous personal injury can result. If blade begins
to bind during a cutting operation, do not con-
tinue to cut and release switch immediately.
12. Use only anges specied for this tool.
13.
Be careful not to damage the arbor, anges (espe-
cially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to
these parts could result in blade breakage.
14. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a
stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool
where operator positioning would be awkward.
6ENGLISH
15. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
16. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
17. Hold the handle rmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
18. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
19. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
20. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
21.
Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON" position.
22. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
23. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.

After a cutting operation do not raise the
blade until it has come to a complete stop. The
raisingofacoastingblademayresultinserious
personalinjuryanddamagetotheworkpiece.
• When cutting a workpiece that is longer
than the support base of the saw, the mate-
rial should be supported the entire length
beyond the support base and at the same
height to keep the material level. Proper
workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch
andpossiblekickbackwhichmayresultinseri-
ouspersonalinjury.Donotrelysolelyonthe
