-
ing only identical replacement parts.

safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products,
they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cut
-
ting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abra-
sive 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 sup-
porting 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 work-
pieces 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 work-
piece.
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.
