General safety rules

WARNING:Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your operated (corded) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases

or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs

with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

b. 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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for 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.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoors reduces the risk of electric shock.

f. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer recommends using a residual current device with a

rated residual current of 30mA or less at all times.

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools can 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 plugging in, picking up or

carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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



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 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.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow anyone unfamiliar with the power

tool/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 tool’s 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 edges are less likely to

bind and easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, and etcetera, in accordance with these instructions. Take into

account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended can result in a hazardous situation.

h. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

i. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

5. Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repairperson using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety rules for miter saws

• Ensure that the lighting is adequate.

• Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.

• Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.

• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this saw.

• Always stand to one side when operating the saw.

• Never use damaged or deformed saw blades. Only use sharp blades.

• When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the workpiece from turning on both sides of the blade.

• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste from near the saw blade.

• Only use blades as recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not use blades manufactured from high-speed steel.

• If the table insert is damaged or worn, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

• Before making compound miter cuts, ensure that the work head is securely fixed in the desired position.

• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.

• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other foreign objects before beginning to

saw.

• Support the work properly.

• Never reach over the blade to remove waste or cut-offs.

• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade while the machine is still running.

• Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest naturally.

• If you’re interrupted during operation, complete the task at hand and turn the saw off before looking up.

• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fastenersare properly tightened.

• Always hold the saw by the insulated parts. If you accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable,

the metal parts of the saw will become electrified. Turn off and unplug immediately.

• Connect the saw to a dust collection device that is operating properly.

• Wear gloves when handling saw blades.

• Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of loose materials such as wood chips

and cut-offs.

• During slide cutting, always push the saw blade awayas opposed to pulling it back towards you.

• Always use stands to provide support for pieces that extend past the worktable.

WARNING:We recommend the use of a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Wear goggles Wear earmuffs Wear a breathing mask
