Mitre Saws are based on the requirements of
EN 61029-2-9:2012+A11.
BLADE SAFETY
WARNING:
Rotating circular saw blades are
extremely dangerous and can cause serious
injury and amputation. Always keep fingers
and hands at least 150mm away from the
blade at all times. Never attempt to retrieve
sawn material until the cutting head is in the
