d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Carefully maintain power tools and accesso-
ries. Check moving parts for proper function and
smooth running, and check whether there are
parts which are broken or damaged to the extent
that the functionality of the power tool is impaired.
Have damaged parts repaired before using the
power tool. Many accidents are caused by poor-
ly-maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Careful-
ly maintained cutting tools with sharp edges
are less likely to jam and can be guided more
easily.
g) Use power tools, accessory parts, insertion
tools, etc. in compliance with these instruc-
tions. Take into account the working conditions
and the activity which is to be carried out. Using
power tools for applications other than those in-
tended may cause dangerous Situations.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the power tool in un-
expected situations.
Service
a) Have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists only, and always use original
spare parts for repair. This is to maintain the
safety of the power tool.

Safety instructions for mitre saws
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive 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 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 con-
tact.
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 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 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 prox-
imity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may
not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
