2. General Safety Instructions
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
2.1. Work Area Safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.2. Electrical Safety
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
2.3. Personal Safety
- Always wear eye protection. Use safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield.
- Wear hearing protection. Prolonged exposure to noise can cause hearing damage.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
2.4. Mitre Saw Specific Safety
- Always use the correct blade for the material being cut.
- Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before cutting.
- Never reach into the blade area when the saw is running or connected to power.
- Allow the blade to reach full speed before beginning a cut.
- Use the laser guide and LED light for improved accuracy and visibility, but always verify the cut line manually.

The workpiece clamp helps secure material for safe and accurate cutting.
- Insert the workpiece clamp into the designated hole on the saw table.
- Adjust its position to firmly hold the workpiece against the fence.
6. Operating Instructions
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask when operating the saw.
6.1. Basic Cutting Procedure
- Prepare Workpiece: Mark your desired cut line on the material.
- Position Workpiece: Place the workpiece firmly against the fence and secure it with the workpiece clamp. Ensure the material is fully supported.
- Adjust Angles (if necessary):
- Mitre Angle: Adjust the turntable to the desired mitre angle (up to 45 degrees left or right). Lock the turntable in place.
- Bevel Angle: Tilt the saw head to the desired bevel angle (up to 45 degrees). Lock the saw head in place.
- Activate Laser and LED: Turn on the laser guide and LED work light for precise alignment and improved visibility.
- Start Saw: Press the power switch to start the motor. Allow the blade to reach full speed before beginning the cut.
- Perform Cut:
- For straight cuts, slowly lower the saw blade through the workpiece.
- For radial (sliding) cuts, pull the saw head towards you, lower the blade into the material, and then push the saw head smoothly through the workpiece.
- Release Saw: Once the cut is complete, release the power switch and allow the blade to stop completely before raising the saw head.
- Remove Workpiece: Carefully remove the cut material.
