operations different from intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair
person
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR 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 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 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.
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 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
using
only
identical
of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be
obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
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 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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
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.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such
as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll
while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull
the work with your hand into the blade.
