PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
(3.6)
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order
to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to
prevent the possibility of the loss of sight
from ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health. We
r
ecommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine
in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades
or rough material. Heat resistant gloves should
be worn when handling metallic materials
which may be hot. It is recommended that saw
blades should be carried in a holder wherever
practicable. It is not advisable to wear gloves
when operating the miter saw.

SAFE OPERATION

(3.7)
Always ensure that you have selected the
correct saw blade for the material being cut.
Do not use this miter saw to cut materials other
than those specified in this Instruction Manual.
When transporting a miter saw ensure that the
cutting head is locked in the 90° down position
(if a sliding miter saw ensure that the slide bars
are locked). Lift the machine by gripping the
outer edges of the base with both hands (if a
sliding miter saw, transport using the handles
provided). Under no circumstances shall the
machine be lifted or transported using the
retractable guard or any part of its operating
mechanism.
Bystanders and other colleagues must be kept
at a safe distance from this saw. Cut debris can,
in some circumstances, be ejected forcibly
from the machine, posing a safety hazard to
people standing nearby.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed marked
on the saw blade is at least equal to the no
load speed marked on the miter saw. Under no
circumstances shall a saw blade be used that
is marked with a speed that is less than the no-
load speed marked on the miter saw.
Where it is necessary to use spacer or
reducing rings these must be suitable for the
intended purpose and only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
If the miter saw is fitted with a laser it shall not
be replaced with a different type. If the laser
fails to operate it shall be repaired or replaced
by the manufacturer or authorised agent.
The saw blade shall only be replaced as
detailed in this instruction manual.
Never attempt to retrieve off-cuts or any other
part of the work-piece until the cutting head is
in the raised position, the guard is fully closed
and the saw blade has stopped rotating.
PERFORM CUTS
(3.8)
CORRECTLY & SAFELY
Wherever practicable always secure the
work-piece to the saw table using the work
clamp where provided.
Always ensure that before each cut the miter
saw is mounted in a stable position.
If needed the miter saw can be mounted on
a wooden base or work bench or attached to
a miter saw stand as detailed in this instruction
