Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
@Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1. 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 atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable 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.
2. Electrical safety
a. 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. Unmodified 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
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3. 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 influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger 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, clothing and gloves 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.
4. 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 it
on and off. 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 the
battery pack 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.

8
ENGLISH (Original instructions)
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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
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 different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
@Warning! Additional safety warnings for mitre
saws.
Do not use cracked, bent, damaged or deformed saw
blades.
Replace the table insert when worn.
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades.
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
material (saw blades should be carried in a holder when
practicable).
Use the dustbag provided when sawing wood.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
@Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from sanding applications may endanger
the health of the operator and possible bystand-
ers. Wear a dust mask specifically designed for
protection against dust and fumes and ensure
that persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.
Consider using specially designed noise-reduction blades.
Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
This mitre saw has been designed for sawing wood,
plastic and non-ferrous metal only.
Do not operate the machine without the guard in position.
Do not operate the machine if the guard does not function
or is not maintained properly.
Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing
bevel cuts.
Before each cut ensure that the machine is stable.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained
and free of loose materials, e.g. chips and off-cuts.
Ensure the machine and the work area are provided with
adequate general or localised lighting.
Do not allow untrained people to operate this machine.
Ensure that the blade is mounted correctly before use.
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Keep the blade sharp.
Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least
equal to the speed marked on the saw;
The laser fitted must never be exchanged with a different
type of laser. Repairs to the laser should be carried out by
authorised repair agents or Stanley Fat Max service staff.
Disconnect the machine form the mains before carrying
out any maintenance or when changing the blade.
Never perform any cleaning, maintenance, removal of any
off-cuts or other parts of the work piece form the cutting
area when the machine is running and the saw head is not
in the rest position.
When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with a clamping
device or a vice is more secure than when held with the
hand.
Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked. Do not work
with pieces that are too small to clamp, otherwise, the dis-
tance of the hands to the rotating saw blade is too small.
Always use extra support when sawing long workpieces.
Make sure all locking knobs and handles are tight before
starting any operation.
Never use your saw without the table insert.
Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is
connected to the mains supply.

9
ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
Never attempt to stop the machine in motion rapidly by
jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious
accidents can be caused unintentionally in this way.
Before using or fitting any accessory consult the instruc-
tion manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause
damage.
Do not use any abrasive discs.
Raise the blade from the table insert in the workpiece prior
to releasing the on/of switch.
Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor
shaft.
The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when
the arm is brought down; it will lower over the blade when
the arm is raised. The guard can be raised by hand when
installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the
saw. Never raise the blade guard manually unless the
machine is switched off.
Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and
free of chips.
Do not work with material containing asbestos. Asbestos
is considered to be carcinogenic.
Never make the warning signs on the power tool unrecog-
nisable.
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries could
occur when the power tool tips over or when coming in
contact with the saw blade.
Do not take hold of the saw blade after working before it
has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while work-
ing.
Advance the saw blade against the workpiece only when
it is switched on. Otherwise, the danger of kick-back exists
when the saw blade catches in the workpiece.
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those recom-
mended in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury and/or damage to property.
Never place hands near cutting area. Keep hands outside
the “No Hands Zone” which includes entire table and is
labelled by “No Hands” symbols.
To avoid injury from materials being thrown, unplug the
saw to avoid accidental starting, and then remove small
materials.
Before use and after any maintenance the blade guard
must be checked to ensure proper function. This test must
be performed with the saw switched off and unplugged.
The arm must be raised and lowered to ensure the guard
covers the blade and the blade does not contact the
guard. If the guard fails to operate correctly, have your
power tool serviced by a qualified repair agent. Call Stan-
ley Fat Max customer services for you nearest service
agent.
Residual risks.
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
Impairment of hearing.
Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the
rotating saw blade.
Risk of injury when changing any parts, blades or acces-
sories.
Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
sawing wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Additional safety instructions for lasers

play with the appliance.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN 60745 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 value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including 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.
Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:
:Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user
must read the instruction manual.

розетки, снижает риск поражения электрическим
током.
b. Следует избегать контакта сзаземленными
поверхностями, такими как трубы, радиаторы,
батареи ихолодильники.Если вы будете заземлены,
увеличивается риск поражения электрическим током.
c. Не допускайте нахождения электроинструментов
под дождем или вусловиях повышенной
влажности.При попадании воды вэлектроинструмент
риск поражения электротоком возрастает.
d. Бережно обращайтесь скабелем питания. Никогда
не используйте кабель для переноски
инструмента, не тяните за него, пытаясь
отключить инструмент от сети. Держите кабель
подальше от источников тепла, масла, острых
углов или движущихся предметов.Поврежденный
или запутанный кабель питания повышает риск
поражения электротоком.
e. При работе сэлектроинструментом вне помещения
необходимо пользоваться удлинителем,
рассчитанным на эксплуатацию
