SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool.Failuretofollowallinstructions
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
Theterm“powertool”inthewarningsreferstoyour
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-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
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
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. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
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-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
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
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. 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.
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
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication.Amomentofinattentionwhileoperating
powertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
willreducepersonalinjuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
yourngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertools
that have the switch on invites accidents.

13 ENGLISH
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.Thisenablesbettercontrol
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts.Looseclothes,jewelleryor
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.Acarelessaction
cancausesevereinjurywithinafractionofa
second.
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, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
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.
Power tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and o󰀨.Anypowertoolthatcannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools.Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
foroperationsdi󰀨erentfromthoseintendedcould
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled.Theentangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
resultinpersonalinjury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer.Achargerthatissuitablefor
onetypeofbatterypackmaycreateariskofre
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packsmaycreateariskofinjuryandre.
3. 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termi-
nalstogethermaycauseburnsorare.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help.Liquidejectedfromthebatterymaycause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied.Damagedormodiedbatteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re,explosionorriskofinjury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature.Exposuretoreortem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outsidethespeciedrangemaydamagethe

14 ENGLISH
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.Thiswillensurethatthesafetyofthepower
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs.Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
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-o󰀨 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.
2. Use clamps to support the workpiece when-
ever 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.
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 “freehand” in any way. Unrestrained
or moving workpieces could be thrown at high
speeds,causinginjury.
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
is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top
of the workpiece and violently throw the blade
assembly towards the operator.
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. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
►Fig.1
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-
ity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not
beobviousandyoumaybeseriouslyinjured.
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
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.
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
otherobjectsthatcontacttherevolvingbladecan
be thrown with high speed.
9. Cut only one workpiece at a time.Stackedmulti-
ple 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, rm work surface before use. Alevel
andrm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 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
ifnotsecurelysupported.Ifthecut-o󰀨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-o󰀨 piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade.Ifconned,i.e.usinglengthstops,the
cut-o󰀨piececouldgetwedgedagainsttheblade
and thrown violently.
15. Always use a clamp or a xture 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 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 o󰀨. 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 nishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the cut-o󰀨 piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.

15 ENGLISH
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.Thebrakingactionofthesawmaycause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causingariskofinjury.
20. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specied in the man-
ual.Useofanincorrectlysizedblademaya󰀨ect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tionwhichcouldresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with
a speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the tool.
22. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
23. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to
EN847-1.
Additional instructions
1. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
2. Never stand on the tool.Seriousinjurycould
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
3. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power o󰀨. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
4. 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.
5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
6. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage
to the full rear position after each crosscut
operation.
7. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
8. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Use only anges specied for this tool.
12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, anges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
13. 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.
14. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
15. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
16. Hold the handle rmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
17. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
18. 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.
19. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the “ON”
position.
21. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
22. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
