f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100mm 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.
Note: The phrase "bevel or" does not apply for saws
without bevel adjustment.
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 workpiece. 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.
Note: The above warning applies only for mitre saws
with a brake system.
MITRE SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY
The following specific safety instructions for Mitre
Saws are based on the requirements of
EN 62841-3-9:2005/A11:2017.

BLADE SAFETY

WARNING: Rotating circular saw blades are
extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury
and amputation. Always keep fingers and hands at
least 100mm away from the blade at all times. Never
attempt to retrieve sawn material until the cutting
head is in the raised position, the guard is fully closed
and the saw blade has stopped rotating.
Only use saw blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer and as detailed in this manual and that
comply with the requirements of EN 847-1
Do Not use saw blades that are damaged or
deformed as they could shatter and cause serious
injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do Not use saw blades that are manufactured from
high speed steel (HSS). If the table insert becomes
damaged or worn it must be replaced with an
identical one available from the manufacturer as
detailed in this manual.
Only use a saw blade that matches the bore
diameter and maximum kerf of the saw in use.
• If necessary, use additional support for improved
stability of the workpiece.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Hearing protection should be worn in order to reduce
the risk of induced hearing loss. Eye protection should
be worn in order to prevent the possibility of the loss
of sight from ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some wood
and wood type products especially MDF (Medium
Density Fibreboard) can produce dust that can be
hazardous to your health.
We recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine in
addition to using the dust extraction facility.
