MITRE SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY
The following specific safety instructions for
Mitre Saws are based on the requirements of
EN 61029-2-9:2012+A11.
BLADE SAFETY
WARNING: Rotating Saw Blades are extremely
dangerous and can cause serious injury and
amputation. Always keep fingers and hands at least
150mm away from the blade at all times. Never
attempt to retrieve sawn material until the cutting
head is in the raised position, the guard is fully
closed and the saw blade has stopped rotating.
Only use saw blades that are recommended
by the manufacturer and as detailed in this
manual and that comply with the requirements
of EN 847-1
Do Not use saw blades that are damaged or
deformed as they could shatter and cause serious
injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do Not use saw blades that are manufactured
from high speed steel (HSS).
If the table insert becomes damaged or worn it
must be replaced with an identical one available
from the manufacturer as detailed in this manual.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order to
reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to
prevent the possibility of the loss of sight from
ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health. We
recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine
in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades
or rough material. Heat resistant gloves should
be worn when handling metallic materials
which may be hot. It is recommended that saw
blades should be carried in a holder wherever
practicable. It is not advisable to wear gloves
when operating the mitre saw.
SAFE OPERATION
Always ensure that you have selected the correct
saw blade for the material being cut. Do Not use
this mitre saw to cut materials other than those
specified in this Instruction Manual.
When transporting a mitre saw ensure that
the cutting head is locked in the 90 degree
down position (if a sliding mitre saw ensure
that the slide bars are locked). Lift the
machine by gripping the outer edges of the
base with both hands (if a sliding mitre saw,
transport using the handles provided). Under
no circumstances shall the machine be lifted or
transported using the retractable guard or any
part of its operating mechanism.
Bystanders and other colleagues must be kept
at a safe distance from this saw. Cut debris can,
in some circumstances, be ejected forcibly
from the machine, posing a safety hazard to
people standing nearby.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed
marked on the saw blade is at least equal to
the no load speed marked on the mitre saw.
Under no circumstances shall a saw blade be
used that is marked with a speed that is less than
the no load speed marked on the mitre saw.
Where it is necessary to use spacer or reducing
rings these must be suitable for the intended
