d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for mitre
saws.
@
Do not use cracked, bent, damaged or deformed saw
blades.
Replace the table insert when worn.
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specifi ed in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades.
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
material (saw blades should be carried in a holder when
practicable).
Use the dustbag provided when sawing wood.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

(Original instructions)
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from sanding applications may endanger
@
the health of the operator and possible bystand-
ers. Wear a dust mask specifi cally designed for
protection against dust and fumes and ensure
that persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.
Consider using specially designed noise-reduction blades.
Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
This mitre saw has been designed for sawing wood,
plastic and non-ferrous metal only.
Do not operate the machine without the guard in position.
Do not operate the machine if the guard does not function
or is not maintained properly.
Ensure that the arm is securely fi xed when performing
bevel cuts.
Before each cut ensure that the machine is stable.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained
and free of loose materials, e.g. chips and off-cuts.
Ensure the machine and the work area are provided with
adequate general or localised lighting.
Do not allow untrained people to operate this machine.
Ensure that the blade is mounted correctly before use.
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Keep the blade sharp.
Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least
equal to the speed marked on the saw;
The laser fi tted must never be exchanged with a different
type of laser. Repairs to the laser should be carried out by
authorised repair agents or Stanley Fat Max service staff.
Disconnect the machine form the mains before carrying
out any maintenance or when changing the blade.
Never perform any cleaning, maintenance, removal of any
off-cuts or other parts of the work piece form the cutting
area when the machine is running and the saw head is not
in the rest position.
When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with a clamping
device or a vice is more secure than when held with the
hand.
Always fi rmly clamp the piece to be worked. Do not work
with pieces that are too small to clamp, otherwise, the dis-
tance of the hands to the rotating saw blade is too small.
Always use extra support when sawing long workpieces.
Make sure all locking knobs and handles are tight before
starting any operation.
Never use your saw without the table insert.
Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is
connected to the mains supply.
