ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TOOL
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause
severe injury.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the blade guard into the open position.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations. Never use your hand to secure the
workpiece.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Remove the battery cartridge before changing
blade or servicing.
8. Always secure all moving portions before carrying
the tool.
9. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not for
any cutting operations.
10. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases. The electrical operation of the tool
could create an explosion and fire when exposed to
flammable liquids or gases.
11. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage.
14. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
15. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
16. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
17. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
18. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
19. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
20. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
23. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything
abnormal.
24. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on
position.
25. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Do not be lulled into a
ENB118-2
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
26. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
27. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood.
28. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
29. Select saw blades in relation to the material to be
cut.
30. Take care when slotting.
31. Replace the kerf board when worn.
32. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based-painted material and,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
35. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the
maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
37. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts
of the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the
tool is running and the saw head is not in the rest
position.
38. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.
39. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw blades
shall be carried in a holder wherever practicable)
and rough material.
