b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If
contact accidentally occurs, flush 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 modified.
Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire
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 specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with
abrasive cut-off 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
