• The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e., using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
• Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as
rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to
"bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
• Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the
risk of the workpiece being thrown.
• If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving
parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source. Then work to free the
jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of
control or damage to the mitre saw.
• After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the
blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the
coasting blade is dangerous.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR MITRE SAW
• Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer for wood and analogous
materials.
• Pay attention to the cutting capacities mentioned in the technical data.
• Pay attention to the maximum bevel angle and mitre angle settings mentioned in the
technical data.
• Use only a saw blade diameter in accordance with the markings on the saw and
information about the bore diameter and the maximum kerf of the saw blade.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed
marked on the tool.
• During blade changing procedure, the rotation direction arrow on the saw blade
should comply with the one on the upper fixed blade guard.
• Pay attention to the setting device(s) and the locking device(s) for the mitre angle
and bevel angel mentioned in the controls.
• Turn the lower retractable blade guard by hand to test if it is rotating smoothly.
• Pay attention to how to connect dust extraction systems mentioned in assembly.
• Pay attention to the cutting sequence mentioned in the operation.
• Pay attention to the cutting depth for non-through cuts mentioned in the controls.
Ensure that the mitre saw is always stable and secure.
• Always fix and use the extension supporter during operation.
• Use additional supports if needed to ensure the stability of the workpiece.
• The power tool shall not be wet or used in a wet environment.
• Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as accessories for damage before
each use. Do not use the product if it is damaged or shows wear.
• Double check that the accessories and attachments are properly fixed.
• Always hold the product on its handle. Keep the handle dry to ensure safe support.
• Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if necessary
with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
• Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other people
entering the working area. Always let the product come to complete stop before
putting it down.
• Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the
work and have full control over the product.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION:
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CUL
REQUIREMENTS. FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.
The tool is loud and the sound can cause hearing damage. Always wear
ear protection to help prevent hearing damage and loss. Failure to
comply may result in moderate injury.
USE DUST MASK:
Some dust created by sawing contains chemicals that are known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals come from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks,
cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Danger! Keep hands away from blade.
