MITER SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause
severe injury.
2. Check the saw blade carefully for cracks or
deformation before operation.
Replace damaged blades immediately.
3. Replace the kerf board when worn.
4. Use only saw blades specified by the
manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.
5. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
6. Wear eye protection.
7. Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of
hearing loss.
8. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw blades
shall be carried in a holder wherever practicable)
and rough material.
9. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
10. Select saw blades in relation to the material to be
cut.
11. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
12. Always secure all moving portions before carrying
the tool. When lifting or carrying the tool, do not
use the guard as a carrying handle.
13. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the blade guard into the open position.
14. Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g.
chips and cut-offs.
15. Use only saw blades that are marked with a
maximum speed equal to or higher than the no
load speed marked on the tool.
16. When the tool is fitted with a laser or LED, do not
replace the laser or LED with a different type. Ask
ENE004-1
an authorized service center for repair.
17. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool is
running with an unguarded saw blade.
18. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
ENF002-2
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations. Never use your hand to secure the
workpiece.
19. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.
20. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.
21. Support long workpieces with appropriate
additional supports.

may cause kickback and serious personal injury.
23. Never reach around saw blade.
24. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings.
25. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
26. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not for

(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage.
30. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
31. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
32. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.

moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
36. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
37. 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.
