h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger speci
fi
ed by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of
fi
re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with speci
fi
cally
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and
fi
re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a
fi
re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs,
fl
ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modi
fi
ed.
Damaged or modi
fi
ed batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fi
re, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fi
re or
excessive temperature.
Exposure
to
fi
re or temperature above 130°C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range speci
fi
ed in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the speci
fi
ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of
fi
re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali
fi
ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and in
fi
rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and in
fi
rm persons.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER
SAW
a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-
o
ff
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.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
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.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer 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.
g) 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 tile spinning saw blade while cutting.
There should be no nails or foreign objects in the
workpiece.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a
level,
fi
rm work surface before use.
A level and
fi
rm work surface reduces the risk of the miter
saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
miter 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.
I) 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 miter saw table
can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-o
ff
piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by
the spinning blade.
