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 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) 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.

4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR Miter SAWS

a) Miter 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 100 mm 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

andthe 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.

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.
