• Always disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet before storing the tool, making
adjustments or adding/replacing accessories. This
simple prevention will reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
• Store the tool in a secure place out of reach of
children. A secure storage location will prevent the
unauthorized use by untrained users.
• Properly maintain tools. Keep all cutting tools sharp
and clean. Remove contaminants from the tool and
keep clean. Check for broken parts or binding of
moving parts before use. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before use. Prevent accidents caused by
poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories recommended for your
model. Accessories suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.

Additional Safety Instructions for Mitre
Saws
• Wear safety goggles.
• Always wear appropriate safety equipment when
operating the tool.
• Do not use this tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
• The saw blade must be properly sharpened to ensure
maximum cutting capacity. Replace any deformed
or broken saw blades to avoid accidents before you
operate this tool.
• Use only the special flanges provided for this tool.
• Be careful not to damage the output spindle, flanges
(especially the fitting surfaces) and the bolt. Check
whether the saw blade is in good condition.
• Make sure the rotary table is secured firmly so that it
cannot move while it is operating.
• Clear chips and small blocks on the base to ensure a
smooth, clean surface.
• Before cutting any work pieces, make sure that the
nails and screws around the cutting position have
been cleared.
• Make sure that the armature shaft lock is in the off
position by the shaft locking arm before you turn it on.
• Make sure that the saw blade will not touch the rotary
table when the saw blade is in its lowest position.
• Never operate this tool with a single hand. Secure the
work piece with the vice. Holding the work by hand is
not secure and may lead to loss of control.
• Hold the handle of the saw firmly.
• Keep your hand away from the cutting line and do not
touch the saw blade during operation.
• Do not approach the saw blade during operation.
• Before switching on the motor, the saw blade must not
contact the work piece.
• Before carrying out any work, allow the motor to
idle for a while. Make sure there is no oscillation
caused by improper installing of the saw blade or the
unbalance of a warped saw blade.
• Start your work after the motor has reached its
maximum speed.
• If anything goes wrong during operation, switch the
tool off and stop working immediately.
• Do not try to fix the saw when the switch is in the
“ON” position.
• Before carrying out any maintenance and adjustment
of the saw, make sure to disconnect the power cord
from the electrical outlet and the saw blade has
stopped rotating.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing while
operating the saw, especially in repeat and
monotonous operation. Do not create an illusive safe
feel, because the saw blade is dangerous.
• Be sure to use the accessories specified in this
manual.
• Do not damage the cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or disconnect the plug from the receptacle by
yanking on the cord. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
