with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

ENGLISH
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 qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.

Changing blades (g.O - Q)
Warning! To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
remove the power plug from the power source before changing the blades. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed and tooth type marked on the saw blade.
Only use Stanley Fat Max recommended blades. To replace
the saw blade (34), proceed as follows:
u Press the saw arm release lever (36) and rotate the move-
able lower guard counter clockwise and clear of the blade.
Use one hand to hold the guard in place (g. O).
u Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the screw
(50). Do not remove the screw completely as this will
make re-assembly difcult.
u Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the screw
(51) until there is movement in the metal guard plate.
Do not remove the screw completely as this will make
re-assembly difcult.
u Move the metal upper guard plate counter clockwise (g.
P). This will give you access to the spindle bolt (52) that
attaches the saw blade (34) to the mitre saw.
u Press and hold the spindle lock button (35) on the motor
housing, to lock the saw blade (34) and prevent it from
rotating.
u Using the supplied blade spanner, turn the spindle bolt
(52) in a clockwise direction to remove the bolt and the
saw blade (34).
u Fit a replacement blade, make sure that the teeth are
pointing downward and the direction marking on the blade
is the same as that on the mitre saws guard (clockwise)
(g. P).
u Loosely t the spindle bolt (52) by hand (turn counter
clockwise).
u Press and hold the spindle lock button (35) and use the
blade spanner to tighten the spindle bolt (52) until the
blade is secure.
u Replace the metal upper guard (26) into its original posi-
tion and tighten the two screws (50 and 51).
u Allow the moveable lower guard (5) to return to its original
position covering the blade.
Warning! Never press the spindle lock while the blade is
rotating. Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and rmly
tighten the guard bracket screw after installing the blade.
Warning! The guard bracket must be returned to its original
position and the screw tightened before activating the saw.
Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the spinning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and severe
personal injury.
