rous 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 oth-
er plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece when-
ever 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. Unre-
strained 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 mo-
tor, 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 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 be-
tween 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 ad-
justable 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 ex-
tensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece
that is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw ta-
ble 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.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of
the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving
parts to stop and disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or remove the battery
pack. Then work to free the jammed materi-
al. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece
could cause loss of control or damage to the mi-
tre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the
blade to stop before removing the cut-off
piece. Reaching with your hand near the coast-
ing blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an in-
complete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the
down position. The braking action of the saw
