Service
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 WARNINGS FOR MITRE
SAWS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do not reach behind the fence with either
hand closer than 100 mm 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.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If
the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp
it with the outside bowed face toward
the fence. Always 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.
Do not use the saw until the table is
clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc.,
except for the workpiece. Small debris
or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be
thrown with high speed.
Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be
adequately clamped or braced and may
bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
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.
Plan your work. Every time you change
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 guarding
system. Without turning the tool "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.
Provide adequate support such as
table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a
workpiece that is wider or longer than
the table top. Workpieces longer or wider
than the mitre saw table can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard
or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Do not use another person as a substitute
for a table extension or as additional
support. Unstable support for the
workpiece can cause the blade to bind or
the workpiece to shift during the cutting
operation pulling you and the helper into
the spinning blade.
The cut-off piece must not be jammed
