5.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
8.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Additional instructions
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will t in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
2. VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the
tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.)
be sure the voltage supplied is the same as
that specied on the nameplate of the tool. A
power source with voltage greater than that
specied for the tool can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user- as well as damage to the
tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL.
Using a power source with voltage less than
the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
3. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

Safety instructions for mitre saws
1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material
such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust
causes moving parts such as the lower guard to
jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
2. 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,
there is an increased risk of injury from 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
speeds, causing injury.
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. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed"
i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
