and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result

inelectricshock,fireand/orseriousinjury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Theterm“powertool”inthewarningsreferstoyourmains-

operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated(cordless)

powertool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutteredordark

areasinviteaccidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases

or dust.Powertoolscreatesparkswhichmayignitethe

dustorfumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractionscancauseyoutolosecontrol.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifiedplugsand

matchingoutletswillreduceriskofelectricshock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-

tors. Thereisanincreasedriskofelectricshockifyour

bodyisearthedorgrounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasetheriskofelec-

tricshock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-

ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damagedorentangledcordsincreasetheriskofelectric

shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-

tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitableforoutdoorusereducestheriskofelectricshock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-

avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)

protected supply. UseofaGFCIreducesthe risk of

electricshock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired or under the influence

of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-

tionwhileoperatingpowertoolsmayresultinserious

personalinjury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection.Protectiveequipmentsuchasdustmask,

non-skidsafetyshoes,hardhat,orhearingprotection

usedfor appropriateconditionswillreducepersonal

injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-position before connecting to power source

and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carryingpowertoolswithyourfingerontheswitchor

energisingpowertoolsthathavetheswitchoninvites

accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. Awrenchorakeyleftattachedto

arotatingpartofthepowertoolmayresultinpersonal

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

MITER SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Miter 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.

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.

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.

Never cross your hand over the intended line of cut-

ting 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.

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.

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.

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con-

tacttherevolvingbladecanbethrownwithhighspeed.

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.

Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a

level, firm work surface before use.Alevelandfirm

worksurfacereducestheriskofthemitersawbecoming

unstable.

Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or

miter 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.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the

power tool before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Suchpreventive

safetymeasuresreducetheriskofstartingthepower

toolaccidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

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.

Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused

bypoorlymaintainedpowertools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properlymain-

tainedcuttingtools with sharpcuttingedgesare less

likelytobindandareeasiertocontrol.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.

in accordance with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Useofthepowertoolforoperationsdifferent

fromthoseintendedcouldresultinahazardoussituation.

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

toolinunexpectedsituations.

SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

willensurethatthesafetyofthepowertoolismaintained.

4 – English

MITER SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Provide adequate support such as table extensions,

saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or lon-

ger than the table top. Workpieceslongerorwiderthan

themiter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.

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.

The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by

any means against the spinning saw blade. If con-

fined,i.e.usinglengthstops,thecut-offpiececouldget

wedgedagainstthebladeandthrownviolently.

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.

Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the

workpiece. Thiswillreducetheriskoftheworkpiece

beingthrown.

If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the

miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and

disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-

move 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mitersaw.

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.

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tobesuddenlypulleddownward,causing

ariskofinjury.

 Save these instructions.Refertothemfrequentlyand
