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.
h) 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.

HEALTH ADVICE

(2.7)
WARNING: If you suspect that paint on
surfaces in your home contains lead seek
professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself.
Once the dust has been deposited on
surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
WARNING: Some wood and wood type
(2.8)
products, especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard), can produce dust that may be
hazardous to your health. We recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine, in
addition to using the dust extraction facility.
MITER SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY
(3.5)
• Not to use saw blades manufactured from
high speed steel.
• Use only the saw with guards in good
working order and properly maintained,
and in position.
• Always to clamp work-pieces to
the saw table.
a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or
wood-like products, they cannot be used
with abrasive 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.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep
your hand at least 6 inches 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
NOTE: The above warning is omitted for a
simple pivoting arm miter saw.
e) 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.
