GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electrical shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
• Keep your work area clear, clean and well lit.
Cluttered work surfaces and dark areas invite
accidents.
• Keep people not involved in the work, especially
children away from the work area while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control of the tool.
• Do not operate power tools in an unsafe
environment such as in an explosive atmosphere,
near flammable liquids, gases and dust. A spark
created by a power tool may ignite the fumes or dust.
• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
Electrical Safety
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.)
This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug and try again. If it still does not fit fully, contact
a qualified electrician to install a polarized plug. Do
not modify the plug in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded electrical system.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as radiators, pipes, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not operate power tools in the rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool increases the
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not stress the power cord. Never carry the
power tool by the cord or disconnect the plug from
the receptacle by yanking on the cord. Keep cord
away from sharp edges, heat, solvents and oil.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electrical shock.
• Use outdoor extension cords when operating the
power tool outside. Outdoor power cords are
marked "W-A" or "W" and are rated for outdoor use.
These cords reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep long hair in place and contained.
Keep clothing, hair and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewelry and hair can be
snagged in moving parts.
•Use common sense, stay alert and watch what
you are doing while operating a power tool. Do
not use tools while under the influence of alcohol,
medication, or drugs. Keep focusing on the work at
hand while using a power tool to prevent personal
injury.
• Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position
before plugging it into the receptacle. This will
prevent accidental starting. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in the tools with the
switch in the "ON" position invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting tools such as wrenches or keys
before turning the tool on. A wrench or key left
attached to a rotating part will fly off and may cause
personal injury.
• Do not overreach while operating a power tool.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Good
balance and solid footing enables better control in
unexpected situations.
• Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection while operating a power tool.
Use appropriate dust respirators, hearing protection,
hard-hat, face shield or safety shoes as dictated by the
work and tool.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
WARNING
b) Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
c) Do not operate saw without guards in place.
d) Do not perform any operation freehand.
e) Never reach around saw blade.
Tool Use and Care
• Secure the work piece with clamps or other
practical methods to provide a secure work
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is not secure and may lead to loss of control.
• Use the correct tool for the work. The proper tool
will do the work faster and safer.
• Do not use the tool if the "ON/OFF" switch is not
working. Operating a tool that cannot be controlled
by you is dangerous and must be repaired before use.

• Always disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet before storing the tool, making
adjustments or adding/replacing accessories. This
simple prevention will reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
• Store the tool in a secure place out of reach of
children. A secure storage location will prevent the
unauthorized use by untrained users.
• Properly maintain tools. Keep all cutting tools sharp
and clean. Remove contaminants from the tool and
keep clean. Check for broken parts or binding of
moving parts before use. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before use. Prevent accidents caused by
poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories recommended for your
model. Accessories suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
Service
• Tool service, mechanical and/or electrical is to
be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service performed by unqualified personnel may
result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create
a risk of electrical shock or injury.
Additional Safety Instructions for Mitre
Saws
• Wear safety goggles.
• Always wear appropriate safety equipment when
operating the tool.
• Do not use this tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
• The saw blade must be properly sharpened to ensure
maximum cutting capacity. Replace any deformed
or broken saw blades to avoid accidents before you
operate this tool.
• Use only the special flanges provided for this tool.
• Be careful not to damage the output spindle, flanges
(especially the fitting surfaces) and the bolt. Check
whether the saw blade is in good condition.
• Make sure the rotary table is secured firmly so that it
cannot move while it is operating.
• Clear chips and small blocks on the base to ensure a
smooth, clean surface.
• Before cutting any work pieces, make sure that the
nails and screws around the cutting position have
been cleared.
• Make sure that the armature shaft lock is in the off
position by the shaft locking arm before you turn it on.
• Make sure that the saw blade will not touch the rotary
table when the saw blade is in its lowest position.
• Never operate this tool with a single hand. Secure the
work piece with the vice. Holding the work by hand is
not secure and may lead to loss of control.
• Hold the handle of the saw firmly.
• Keep your hand away from the cutting line and do not
touch the saw blade during operation.
• Do not approach the saw blade during operation.
• Before switching on the motor, the saw blade must not
contact the work piece.
• Before carrying out any work, allow the motor to
idle for a while. Make sure there is no oscillation
caused by improper installing of the saw blade or the
unbalance of a warped saw blade.
• Start your work after the motor has reached its
maximum speed.
• If anything goes wrong during operation, switch the
tool off and stop working immediately.
• Do not try to fix the saw when the switch is in the
“ON” position.
• Before carrying out any maintenance and adjustment
of the saw, make sure to disconnect the power cord
from the electrical outlet and the saw blade has
stopped rotating.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing while
operating the saw, especially in repeat and
monotonous operation. Do not create an illusive safe
feel, because the saw blade is dangerous.
• Be sure to use the accessories specified in this
manual.
• Do not damage the cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or disconnect the plug from the receptacle by
yanking on the cord. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.

Extension Cords:
Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product draws.
For lengths more than100 ft, No. 10 AWG extension
cords should be used. An undersized cord results in a
drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.
(NOTE: Table A below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.)
Using the Laser collimator system
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other
than the work piece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and
ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person
for longer than 0.25s.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work
piece without reflective surfaces, i.e. wood or rough
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as
the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the
operator.
Only turn the laser beam on when the tool is on the work
piece.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the work piece.
2. Adjust the depth of the cut and bevel angle as
required.
3. Rest the front edge of the base on the work piece.
4. Switch on the laser beam using the laser light on/off
button.
5. Align the beam with the line on the work piece.
6. Start the motor by squeezing the trigger switch.
7. Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately
2 seconds) before you begin to cut into the work
piece.
8. Slowly push the saw forward using both hands,
keeping the red laser light beam on the line of cut.
9. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch
and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do
not remove the saw from the work piece while the
blade is moving.
10. Switch off the laser beam on completion of the cut.

Keep the Maximum Cutting Capacity
Before making any adjustments, remove the plug from
the socket. This machine has been adjusted by the
manufacturer to keep the maximum cutting capacity
using a ø210mm(8”) saw blade. When the diameter of
the sawblade becomes smaller, because of grinding,
adjust the machine by following the illustration: Push the
carriage to the cross bar direction and put the handle
to the lowest position. Turn the adjustable bolt using the
socket wrench to make the place where the saw blade
edge on the top of the rotary table surface and the front
surface of the cross bar intersect below the top surface
of the rotary table. Be sure the plug has been removed,
and then turn the saw blade with you hand. Press the
handle to its lowest position to check that the saw blade
does not contact the table. If necessary, you can adjust it
a bit.
Note: Before installing the new saw blade, make sure the
saw blade does not contact the table.
Secure the Work piece
The vertical vise can be installed in the hole of the guide
bar or the work piece supporter component (selective
purchasing). Install the vise rod in the hole of the guide
bar or work piece supporter component and then tighten
the bolt. You should adjust the position of the vise arm
according to the shape and thickness of the work piece
and tighten the vise arm with the bolt. Lean the work
piece against the guide bar and the rotary table and
place the work piece in the desired cutting position. Then
