workpiece tips, it can lift thelower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) 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
workpieceto shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into
the spinning blade.
n) 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
o) 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.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.
This will reduce
the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) 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.
r) 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.
s) 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.

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 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.
