General power tool safety warnings
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into

Safety instructions for miter saws

Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-
off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving
parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from
abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf
insert and other plastic parts.
Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you
must always keep your hand at least 100 mm (4
in.) 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
or binding of moving

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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
parts, grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.

▶ Service

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.
with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm (4 in.) 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 miter saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm
work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw
becoming unstable.
Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the
