Uncertainty K =
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured
in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment
of exposure.
WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the
main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over
the total working period.
WALT
E
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into
account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of
electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the
60 x 270
tool's electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended
60 x 190
to be grounded.
60 x 180
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions
when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against
48 x 270
injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of eye injury, ALWAYS use eye protection
when operating the mitre saw.

• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
104
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from spindle before
turning tool on. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown at
3.9
high speed, causing injury.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. The
use of power tools in damp or wet locations or in rain can cause shock
or electrocution. Keep your work area well-lit to avoid tripping or placing
arms, hands, and fingers in danger.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance
from work area. Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment.

• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys. The unauthorised start-up of a machine by a child
or visitor may result in injury.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which
it was not designed. Using the incorrect tool or attachment may result in
personal injury.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air
vents may cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection
• SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece
on the table and against the fence or when your hand will be dangerously
close to the blade (within 6"). It is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of
balance may cause personal injury.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Poorly maintained tools and machines can further damage
the tool or machine and/or cause injury.
• TURN THE MACHINE "OFF", AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
THE POWER SOURCE before installing or removing accessories, before
adjusting or changing set-ups, when making repairs or changing locations.
An accidental start-up can cause injury. Do not touch the plug's metal
prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure that the
switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. If your product is equipped with a cordset, use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
