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 the
battery pack 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 tools 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 greasy
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
Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
u
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.
(Original instructions)
Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
u
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.
The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
u
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.
Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the
u
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.
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.
