The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum
can also be sawed.

WARNING: Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841:
Model LS1219
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
Model LS1219L
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: 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.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion 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).

longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip

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.

If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and
clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic
guard because this may cause damage to the guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, unplug the tool and use the sup-
