2. Remove the two old batteries. When replacing the batteries, the battery
compartment should be thoroughly cleaned. Use a soft, dry paintbrush or similar
brush, to remove all sawdust and debris.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
WARNING: Before each use, check that the blade is free from cracks; loosen
teeth, missing teeth, or any other damage. Do not use if damage is noticed or
suspected.
WARNING: Always wait for the blade to stop completely and unplug the tool
before changing accessories or making adjustment.
Movement of mitre saw
Lift the mitre saw only when the saw is OFF and the plug is removed from the power
supply outlet and the saw head is locked in the down position.
To avoid damage, never carry the mitre saw by the cutting handle. ALWAYS carry it
by the base.
Mounting of the mitre saw
To prevent the tool from sliding, falling or tipping during operation, the mitre saw can
be mounted to a supporting surface such as a level, sturdy worktable or bench.
Position the mitre saw and workbench to allow adequate room for crosscutting long
work pieces. To mount the mitre saw, insert fasteners through the four holes in the
base of the mitre saw.
