TABLE TOP MITER SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR BOTH MITER SAW MODE AND TABLE SAW
(BENCH SAW) MODE
1. Check the blade carefully for cracks or deforma-
tion before operation.
Replace damaged blade immediately.
2. Do not operate saw without guards and riving
knife in place, especially after a mode change.
Check blade guards for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guards do
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the blade guards into the open position.
Any irregular operation of the blade guards
should be corrected immediately.
3. Use only saw blades specified by the manufac-
turer and which conform to EN847-1. The groove
width of the cut must be thicker than the riving
knife and the blade body must be thinner than
the riving knife.
4. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
5. Wear eye protection.
6. Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of
hearing loss.
7. Wear gloves for handling saw blades (saw
blades shall be carried in a holder wherever
practicable) and rough material.
8. Connect the tool to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
9. Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
10. Keep the floor area around the tool level well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips
and cut-offs.
11. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the tool.
12. Stop and unplug the saw when unattended.
13. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
14. Use only saw blades that are marked with a max-
imum speed equal to or higher than the no load
speed marked on the tool.
15. When the tool is fitted with a laser or LED, do not
replace the laser or LED with a different type.
Ask an authorized service center for repair.

ENE060-1 16. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool is
running with an unguarded saw blade.
17. The tool should not be used for slotting, rebating
or grooving.
18. Before carrying the tool, always cover the upper
ENF002-2
part of the saw blade by the top guard and
secure all moving portions. When lifting or car-
rying the tool, do not use the guard as a carrying
handle.
19. Clean and be careful not to damage the spindle,
flanges (especially the installing surface) and
hex bolt before or when installing the blade.
GEA010-1
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage. Poor installation may cause vibration/
wobbling or slippage of the blade. Use only
flanges specified for this tool.
20. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
21. Select the correct saw blade for the material to
ENB088-5
be cut.
22. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws
and other foreign material from the workpiece
before operation.
23. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
24. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
25. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the work area and table top before
plugging the tool and starting operation.
26. Keep hands and make your bystander and your-
self position out of path of and not in line with
saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting
blade. It can still cause severe injury and never
reach around saw blade.
27. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Do not be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
28. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
29. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
30. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cut- ting.
31. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
32. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
33. Unplug tool before changing blade, servicing or
not in use.
