WARNING.

 The use of an accessory or attachment, other 

than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may 

present a risk of personal injury.

Additional safety rules for mitre saws

WARNINGS.

 Before connecting a tool to a power source 

(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure 

that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the 

nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater 

than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to 

the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not 

plug in the tool.
Using a power source with a voltage less than the 

nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against 

a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before 

making any adjustments or maintenance, including 

changing the blade.

  When operating the saw, use safety equipment including 

safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and 

protective clothing including safety gloves.

  Ensure that there is adequate general or localised 

lighting.

  Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.

  Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.

  Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this saw.

  Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use, 

adjustment and operation of the machine.

  Do not use this saw to cut firewood.

  Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

  Report faults in the machine, including guards and saw 

blades, as soon as they are discovered.

  Ensure that the machine is always fixed to a bench, 

whenever possible.

  Always stand to one side when operating the saw.

  Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. 

  When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the 

workpiece from turning on both sides of the blade.

  Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste 

close by the blade.

  Use only blades as recommended by the manufacturer 

and which conform to EN 847-1.

  Do not use blades of High Speed Steel (HSS blades).

  If the table insert is damaged or worn, have it replaced by 

an authorised service centre.

  Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never be 

left around the work area.

  Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all 

nails and other foreign objects before beginning sawing.

  Support the work properly.

  Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the 

workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is 

running and the saw head is not in the rest position.

  Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first 

switching off the machine.

  Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the 

blade come to rest naturally.

  If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete 

the process and switch off before looking up.

  Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are 

properly tightened.

  Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in 

such a way that they could fall into it.

  Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you 

accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable, 

the metal parts of the saw will become “live”. Switch off at 

the mains and remove the plug immediately.

  Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.

  Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade.

  Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and
