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 close by the saw blade.

Use only 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
sawing.

Support the work properly.

Never reach over the blade to remove waste or cut offs.

Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first switching off the machine.

Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest naturally.

If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch off before looking up.

Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are properly tightened.
 Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own
cable, the metal parts of the saw will become ‘live’. Switch off at the mains and remove the plug immediately.

Connect the saw to a dust collection device and ensure that it is operated 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 ensure that the saw blade is pushed away from the operator.

Always use stands to provide support for long work pieces that overhang the turntable.

Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
