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.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep your
hand at least 100mm 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.
c) 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.
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.
NOTE: The above warning is omitted for a simple
pivoting arm mitre saw.
e) 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 with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
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
