there is an increased risk of injury from
blade contact.
–
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 in-
jury.
–
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 work-
piece and violently throw the blade assem-
bly towards the operator.
–
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.
–
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.
–
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 war-
ped 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, 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.
–
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.
–
Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or
placed on a level, firm work surface be-
fore use. A level and firm work surface re-
duces the risk of the mitre saw becoming
unstable.
–
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 inter-
fere with the blade or the guarding sys-
tem. 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 dan-
ger of cutting the fence.
–
Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a work-
piece that is wider or longer than the table
top. Workpieces longer or wider than the
mitre saw table can tip if not securely sup-
ported. 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 extension or as additional sup-
port.Unstable support for the workpiece
can cause the blade to bind or the work-
piece to shift during the cutting operation
pulling you and the helper into the spinning
blade.
–
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spin-
ning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using
length stops, the cut-off piece could get
wedged against the blade and thrown vio-
lently.
–
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.
–
Let the blade reach full speed before con-
tacting the workpiece. This will reduce the
risk of the workpiece being thrown.
–
If the workpiece or blade becomes jam-
med, turn the 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 saw head down and wait for the
blade to stop before removing the cut-off
