Safety instructions

2.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in­
structions, illustrations and specifica­
tions 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" used in the safety in­
structions refers to mains-powered power tools
(with power cable) or battery-powered power
tools (without power cable).
2.2 Machine-related safety instructions
- Mitre 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 se­
curely 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 in­
jury.
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
