Use clamps to support the workpiece when- ever 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 securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, contact. 3. 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 4. 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 and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator. 5. Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous. Service 1. repair person using only identical replacement parts. tool is maintained. 2. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories. Fig.1 6.

Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the 8. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or be thrown with high speed. 9. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multi- ple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting. 10. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on saw becoming unstable. 11. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence. 12. Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade. 13. Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade. 14. pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. and thrown violently. 15. properly support round material such as rods or tubing.
