g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according
to these instructions. Take into account the
working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent 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 han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.

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.

Safety instructions for chop and
mitre saws
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 protective cover to
jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower
protective cover, 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 and the table. Do
not feed the workpiece into the saw blade or
cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or mov-
ing 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. hold-
ing 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 while the saw
blade is spinning. Observe the 100 mm safety
distance between hands and the rotating saw
blade (this applies to both sides of the saw
blade, e.g. also when removing waste pieces of
wood). The proximity of the spinning saw blade to
your hand may not be obvious and you may be seri-
ously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with
the outside bowed face toward the fence. Al-
ways make certain that there is no gap between
the workpiece, fence and table along the line of
the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift
and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade
while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work-
piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other
objects that contact the revolving blade can be
thrown with high speed.
i)
Only cut one workpiece at a time. Stacked multi-
ple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or
braced and may bind on the blade or shift during
cutting.
j)
Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before use. A level and
firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw
becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you adjust the bevel
or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the pro-
tective cover. Without turning the machine "ON"
and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw
blade through a complete simulated cut to assure
there will be no interference or danger of cutting the
fence.
l)
Provide adequate support such as table exten-
sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
that are longer or wider than the table of the chop
and mitre saw can tip if they are not properly sup-
ported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can
lift the lower protective cover or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support. Unsta-
ble support of the workpiece can lead to the blade
becoming jammed. Also, the workpiece could shift
during the cutting process, pulling you or your assis-
tant into the rotating blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning saw
blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off
piece could get wedged against the blade and
thrown violently.
