The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard
test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared
vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Sound levels in the specification are determined according international standards.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly
maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of
noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound and
vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic users who use tools
for long periods of time.
General Safety
WARNING: Read all safety WARNINGs, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all WARNINGs and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
g) When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is
ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch 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.
Specific Safety
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) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) 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.
k) 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.
