DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
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 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
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
59G806
the workpiece and will
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 contacting 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. Continued
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. Reaching with your hand near the coasting
blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or
when releasing the switch before the saw head is
completely in the down position. The braking action of the
saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
WARNING! The device is used for indoor work.
Despite the use of a safe structure by design, the use of protective
measures and additional protective measures, there is always a
residual risk of injury during work.
