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 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. Unrestrained or moving
workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, caus-
ing 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 dan-
gerous.
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 work-
piece. 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 mul-
tiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped
or braced and may bind on the blade or shift dur-
ing 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. Workpiec-
es 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. Un-
stable 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 be-
ing 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 material. Con-
tinued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the mitre 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. Reach-
ing with your hand near the coasting blade is dan-
gerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down posi-
tion. The braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
