Manual

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.

NOTE: The above warning is omitted for a simple

pivoting arm mitre saw.

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 150mm 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, rm work surface before use. A level and

rm 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.

NOTE: The phrase “bevel or” does not apply for

saws without bevel adjustment.

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-o 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-o piece must not be jammed or

pressed by any means against the spinning

saw blade. If conned, i.e. using length stops, the

cut-o piece could get wedged against the blade

and thrown violently.

o) Always use a clamp or a xture 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 o. 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 nishing the cut, release the switch,

hold the saw head down and wait for the blade

to stop before removing the cut-o piece.

Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade

is dangerous.

s) Hold the handle rmly 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.

NOTE: The above warning applies only for mitre

saws with a brake system.
