power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at a rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the power
source and/or battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these Instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of moving
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.6)
[Service] a) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained. If the supply
cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be
replaced by a specially prepared supply cord
available through the service organization.
HEALTH ADVICE
(2.7)
WARNING: If you suspect that paint on
surfaces in your home contains lead seek
professional advice. Lead based paints should
only be removed by a professional and you
should not attempt to remove it yourself.
Once the dust has been deposited on surfaces,
hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion
of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can
cause irreversible brain and nervous system
damage. The young and unborn children are
particularly vulnerable.

WARNING: Some wood and wood type
(2.8)
products, especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard), can produce dust that may 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.
MITRE SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY
(3.5)
• Not to use saw blades manufactured from
high speed steel.
• Use only the saw with guards in good working
order and properly maintained, and in position.
• Always to clamp work-pieces to the saw table.
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 150mm 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.
Note: The above warning is omitted for a simple
pivoting arm mitre saw.
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 150mm 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 you may be
seriously injured.
