Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN61029:
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 88 dB (A)
Sound power level (LWA) : 98 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A)

ENG900-1
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN61029:
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
ENG901-1
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TOOL
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
3.
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.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base
and guide fence with the vise during all operations.
Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6.
Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Remove the battery cartridge before changing
blade or servicing.
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.
Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
The electrical
operation of the tool could create an explosion and
fire when exposed to flammable liquids or gases.
11. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13.
Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially 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.
15.
For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
16. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
17. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
18. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.

5
19. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
20. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
21. 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.
22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
23. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
24.
Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position.
25. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
26. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
27. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood.
28. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
29. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
30. Take care when slotting.
31. Replace the kerf board when worn.
32. Do not use saw blades manufactured from
high speed steel.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based-painted material and,
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure
that the blade is sharp and clean.
35. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
37. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the tool is running and the saw head is
not in the rest position.
38. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.
39. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw
blades shall be carried in a holder wherever
practicable) and rough material.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2)
battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical
attention right away. It may result in loss of
your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a
container with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water
or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 ﾟC (122 ﾟF).
7.
Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before
completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery
cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
