If the work piece cannot be held securely by hand
then use the jig or clamp to hold it in place whilst it is
being cut.
Ensure that irregular or round pieces are held securely
so that they are unable to move or twist and pinch the
blade.
Never cut more than one piece at a time.
Never cut pieces that are too small to be held
securely against the back fence with the thumb and
index finger.
Use only blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer.
Do not start the machine with the blade in contact
with the work piece.
Check the work piece for any protruding nails, screw
heads or anything that could damage the blade.
Do not attempt to modify the machine or its
accessories in any way.
Do not use excessive force when feeding the work
piece to the blade.
Feeding the work piece gradually will reduce wear on
the machine and blade increasing its efficiency and
operating life.
Do not use the saw without guards in position.
Replace table insert when worn.
Do not use the saw to cut material other than
aluminum, wood or similar materials.
Connect mitre saws to a dust collecting device when
sawing.
Select saw blades in relation to the material to be cut.
Take care when slotting.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CUT MATERIAL
LARGER THAN THE MAXIMUM CUTTING CAPACITY.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY ADVICE CARRYING YOUR
MITRE SAW
Although compact, this Mitre Saw is heavy. To reduce
the risk of back injury, get competent help whenever
you have to lift the saw.
To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool close
to your body when lifting. Bending your knees so you
can lift with your legs, not your back. Lift by using the
handheld areas at each side of the machines base.
Never carry the Mitre Saw by the power cord.
Carrying the Mitre Saw by the power cord could
cause damage to the insulation or the wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
Before moving the Mitre Saw tighten the mitre and
bevel locking screws and the sliding carriage locking
screw to guard against sudden unexpected
movement.
Lock the Cutting Head in its lowest position. Ensure
that the Cutting Head Transportation Lock is
completely engaged in its socket.
WARNING: Do not use the blade guard as a ‘lifting
point’. The power cord must be removed from the
power supply before attempting to move the machine.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read all instructions Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
