does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, 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.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) SERVICE
a) 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MITRE SAWS
a) Mitre 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.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always
keep your hand at least 100 mm 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.
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 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
