Only for EU countries
Due to the presence of hazardous compo-
nents in the equipment, used electrical and
electronic equipment may have a negative
impact on the environment and human
health.
Do not dispose of electrical and electronic
appliances with household waste!
In accordance with the European Directive
on waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment and its adaptation to national law,
used electrical and electronic equipment
should be collected separately and
delivered to a separate collection point
for municipal waste, operating in accor-
dance with the environmental protection
regulations.
This is indicated by the symbol of the
crossed-out wheeled bin placed on the
equipment.
Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum
can also be sawed.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and
can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They
are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used
from sockets without earth wire.

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. If your hand is placed too close to

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

4. 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
5. 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

6. 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

Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

10.
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.
11. Provide adequate support such as table extensions,
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 sup-

12. Do not use another person as a substitute for a

workpiece being thrown.

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. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
7. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
8. 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

Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
11. 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.
12. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
13. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.

stopping.
15. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
16. 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.
17. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
18. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
