1. Specified Use
The mitre saw is suited for longitudinal and cross
cuts, inclined cuts, mitre cuts and double mitre
cuts. Furthermore grooves can be machined.
Only materials for which the respective saw blade
is suited may be machined (approved saw blades
see chapter 11. Accessories).
The permissible dimensions of the stock have to
be adhered to (see chapter 15. Technical
Specifications).
Workpieces with round or irregular cross-section
(such as firewood) must not be cut, as they
cannot be held securely during the cutting
process. When sawing a thin workpiece laid on its
edge, a suitable guide must be used for firm
support.
Any other use does not comply with the intended
purpose. Unspecified use, modification of the tool
or use of parts that have not been tested and
approved by the manufacturer can cause
unforeseeable damage!

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow all safety warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information
for future reference! The term "power tool" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be
kept safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table (A) (see Table on page 4)
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
10. 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.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It's safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing;
when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function - check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
2.1 Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Untidy or
poorly lit workplaces can cause accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed or grounded
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit
breaker (RCCB). Use of a residual current circuit
breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
2.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Don't lull yourself into a false sense of
security and ignore the safety regulations for
power tools, even if you are familiar with the
power tool after frequent use. Failure to
observe the following warnings can result in
serious injury or damage to property.
2.4 Use and handling the power tool
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) When not in use, store the power tools out
of the reach of children Do not allow
personnel to use the device unless they are
already familiar with it or have read these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories
carefully. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
