▶ 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.
▶ 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 (4 in) 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 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, 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 before use. A level and
firm work surface reduces 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 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Do not use another person as a substitute for a table 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.
▶ The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by 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 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 workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
▶ If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove 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 piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
▶ Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the
saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head
to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
