soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
• Risk of injury when changing the blade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood, especially oak,
beech and MDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawing wood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaust filters.

Electrical Safety

Your mitre saw is fully assembled in the carton. Open the box and lift the saw out by the
convenient carrying handle

Bench Mounting (Fig. A)
Mounting holes
Figure A. (Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws.
Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always mount your saw firmly to prevent
movement. To enhance the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 12.7 mm or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
nOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting
screws don't protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work
support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will surely interfere
with the proper operation of the saw.
