SAFETY
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
-WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions 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
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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

SERVICE
a)
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS
• Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
wheels for cutting ferrous materials such as bars,
rods, studs, etc Abrasive dust causes moving parts
such as lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting
will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic
parts.
• Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you
must always keep 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 proximity of
the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious
and you may be seriously injured.
• 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.
• Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc , except for the workpiece
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high
speed.
• 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.
• Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a
A level and rm
work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming
unstable.
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dierent
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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.

17
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
transporting the mitre saw Unplug, lower head
assembly and lock into position, use the carry handle
and one of the hand indentations in the saw base.
• Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade and
be torn from your hand
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• This tool is not suitable for wet cutting
OUTDOOR USE
• When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault
current (FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current
of 30 mA maximum, and only use an extension cord
which is intended for outdoor use and equipped with a
splashproof coupling-socket
BEFORE USE
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• Wear protective glasses, hearing protection, and
protective gloves
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classied as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Never use the tool without the original protection guard
system
• Check the protective guard for proper closing before
each use
• Do not operate the saw if the protective guard does not
move freely and close instantly
• Never clamp or tie the protective guard into the open
position
• Never use the tool without the table insert; replace a
defective or worn table insert
• Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the
cutting path before you start cutting
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
ACCESSORIES
• Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool
• SKIL can assure awless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
• Use only saw blades that correspond with the
characteristic data given in these operation instructions
and that are tested and marked in accordance with EN
847-1
• 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 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.
• 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 supported.
If the cut-o piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower
guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
• 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.
•
by any means against the spinning saw blade If
conned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-o piece could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
•
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.
• Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown.
• If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
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.
•
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before
Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous.
•
cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the down position The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be
suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops; under
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment
may be aected (if the system impedance of the power
supply is lower than 0.219 Ohm, disturbances are
unlikely to occur); if you need further clarication, you

-pull mitre detent release lever AF
-rotate the saw table to the left or right and set the
desired mitre angle (from 0° to 50°) by using indicator
AG
-release lever AF
-tighten locking handle AE (do not tighten the handle
)
-for quick and precise setting of often used mitre angles
(0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°) the mitre detent lever
AF clicks into place at the corresponding positions;
to prevent this, lever AF can be locked in released
position ib
• Setting bevel angles o
-loosen three-legged knob W
-swing the saw head to the left until bevel angle indicator
X points to the desired bevel angle
-adjustable bevel end stop AA (45°) can be used to stop
at 45° or continue until 48° ob
-hold the saw head in this position and tighten knob W
-for beveling to the right rst tilt the saw head slightly
to the left, rotate right bevel release knob AB (approx.
60°), then swing the saw head to the desired right bevel
angle oc
-when you swing back the saw head to the left the right
bevel release knob AB will automatically reset to 0°
end stop; this can be prevented by rotating the knob to
approx. 90° instead of 60° od
• Compound cuts p
-compound cuts require both a mitre angle setting and a
bevel angle setting
! do not operate the saw in certain of the mitre
and bevel combinations which may result in
interference between the sliding and stationary
parts of the saw or between the sliding parts and
the workpiece – to make the cut remove sliding
fence, sliding fence lock knob and work clamp
knob as required.
!
• Adjusting the sliding fences a
-loosen knob V to allow sliding of the fence(s) U
-loosen knob V further to allow removal / assembly of
the fence(s)
-tighten knob V to secure the desired position

clamped between the moving and stationary parts of
the tool
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Special workpieces
-always support the free ends of a long workpiece
-ensure that curved or round workpieces are especially
secured against slipping b
-at the cutting line no gap may exist between the
workpiece and the fence or saw table
-if necessary, fabricate an auxiliary fence; the holes in
the sliding fence shall be used to secure the auxiliary
fence n
! the auxiliary fence can only be used at 0° bevel
• For working with oor mouldings illustration mcan be
used as reference
• Always face the good side of the workpiece down to
ensure minimum splintering
• Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type
-quality of cut improves by the number of teeth
-carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times longer
than ordinary blades
MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
