d) 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.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting eit-
her 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm
work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the
risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
k) 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 the
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.
l) 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-off piece or workpiece tips, it
can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) 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.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any
means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using
length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and
thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to 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.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the work-
piece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre
saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop 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.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw
head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing
the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete 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 and Working Instructions
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended to
wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do
not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a suitable
dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g. with a
vacuum cleaner.
Connect the saw to a dust-collecting device when sawing wood.
Wear gloves!
Before using the tool please read the instructions. If possible have the
tool demonstrated.
Ensure that the machine is always stable and secure (e.g. fixed to a
bench)
Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g. chips and cut-offs.
Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in these
instructions for use.
Only use tools that meet standard EN 847-1.
Do not use saw blades made of high-speed steel.
It is necessary to select a saw blade which is suitable for the material
being cut.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maxi-
mum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
Transport and store the tools in a suitable receptacle;
Do not use any flanges other than those supplied or indicated in the
instruction manual to secure the saw blade.
Never use the mitre saw to cut materials other than those specified in
the instruction manual.
Only use the saw with guards in good working order and properly
maintained, and in position.
Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece
from the cutting area whilst the machine is running and the saw head
is not in the rest position.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Always use the protective shields on the machine.
