SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE MITER SAW STAND
● Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
● Always keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
● Before you use the stand, make sure no parts of the stand are damaged or deformed.
● Before you use the stand, make sure all the parts or components of the stand are properly installed.
● Do not use in dangerous environment. Do not use the stand in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
● Always use the stand on a flat and level surface. Do not use it at an uneven or unstable surface. Also, do not use
the stand on slippery surface. It will greatly reduce the stand loading capacity.
● The stand is designed to be used as a stand for metabo HPT miter saws and has a capacity of up to 300 lbs (136
kgs). The total weight of the miter saw and workpiece must not exceed the capacity of this stand. Any misuse or
abuse can result in product damage or personal injury.
● Do not sit or stand on the stand. Do not hang or put anything on it other than the miter saw on the stand.
● Do not modify the stand in any manner, or do not use the stand for any purpose other than for mounting a
metabo HPT miter saw.
● The stand should be used only for metabo HPT miter saws with a blade diameter up to 12" (305 mm). However, the
stand will not work with C12FSA.
● The miter saw should be firmly mounted with the stand as per the instruction manual.
● Align the position and balance of the miter saw as per this instruction manual after mounting the miter saw on the
stand.
● Take care during the raising and lowering of the stand to reduce the hazard of pinching hands and fingers.
● Disconnect the power plug from the receptacle when mounting or dismounting the miter saw from the stand.
● Mount the miter saw on the stand with the help of two or more people for your safety.
● When you mount the miter saw on the stand, hold the miter saw firmly by hands until the mounting bracket cam
latches are tightly secured to prevent the miter saw from falling down from the stand rails.
● After mounting the miter saw on the stand, make sure the stand will not fall over or be unintentionally moved by
vibration, wind, impact or other foreseeable external forces. If this cannot be fulfilled, then stability shall be obtained
by special safety measures. For example, securely anchor the stand to the ground or foundation.
● Occasionally check the stand and the miter saw, making sure the mounting of the miter saw is still tight. A loose
stand is unstable and may shift while in use causing serious injury.
● Before operating the mounted miter saw, read carefully the instruction manual for the miter saw.
● Before operating the miter saw, confirm that the cam latches on the both mounting brackets are firmly fastened so
that the miter saw is securely mounted on the stand.
● To prevent the miter saw from falling over from the stand, neatly layout the power cable on the ground to prevent
operator or by standers from getting caught up by the cable.
● Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
● Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets the requirements of ANSI Z87.1 when working with the
miter saw to prevent eye injury. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection because they do not
contain impact resistant safety glass. Also, use a face mask for additional safety and wear a dust mask if the cutting
operation produces dust.
● Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
● When cutting a long piece of wood, be careful about the material supporting position because the cut material may
lose its balance and fall down from the stand. Also, if workpiece is placed beyond the work support, the leg on the
other side of the stand may be suddenly lifted up due to unbalance of weight. To prevent such occurrence, firmly
hold the opposite side and use extra support before starting cutting operation.
● To detach the miter saw from the stand, confirm the cutting head is pulled forward and locked in the down position, then
unlock the mounting bracket cam latches while holding the miter saw firmly by hands to prevent the miter saw from
