ENGLISH
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.
Never cross your hand over the intended line of cut-
u
ting 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.
Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer
u
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.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the work-
u
piece 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.
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,
u
wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small de-
bris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact
the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
u
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and
may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level,
u
firm work surface before use. A level and firm work sur-
face reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
u
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. With-
out 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.
Provide adequate support such as table extensions,
u
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.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
u
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.

(Original instructions)
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by
u
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.
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly
u
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.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
u
workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
u
mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move 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.
After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
u
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.
Additional safety instructions for mitre saws
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
u
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those recom-
mended in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury and/or damage to property.
Do not use cracked/bent/damaged/deformed saw blades.
u
Replace the kerf plate when worn.
u
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
u
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
@
Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades.
u
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from sawing applications may endanger
the health of the operator and possible bystand-
ers. Wear a dust mask specifically designed for
protection against dust and fumes and ensure
that persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.
Do not work with material containing asbestos. Asbestos
u
is considered to be carcinogenic.
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
u
material (saw blades should be carried in a holder when
practicable).
Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced
u
hearing loss.
Consider using specially designed noise-reduction blades.
u
Wear eye protection to reduce the risk of personal injury.
u
Use the dust bag provided when sawing wood.
