Service

► To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, never

open the motor housing. Have your power tool

serviced only by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts.

► Any repairs to the laser must be carried out by the

laser manufacturer or by an authorized agent of the

laser manufacturer. Never attempt to replace the laser on

this tool with a different type of laser.

Specific Safety Rules for Miter Saws

► To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, never alter

or misuse the power tool.

► Be certain the miter saw is mounted or securely placed

on a level, firm work surface before using. A level and

firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming

unstable or tipping.

► Make sure all controls and clamping handles are

secured before starting any operation. Unsecured

clamps or adjustment handles can cause the saw and/or

workpiece to move unexpectedly.

► Always unplug the saw before servicing or changing

the sawblade.

► Never remove or disable the blade guard. Inspect the

blade guard before use. Repair or replace a damaged or

improperly functioning blade guard before further use.

► Keep hands out of the path of the sawblade. Never

cross your hand over intended line of cutting.

Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” e.g. holding the left

side of the workpiece with your right hand, is very

dangerous.

► Do not reach in back of the moving saw blade with

either hand to remove wood scraps, hold down or

support the workpiece, or for any other reason. The

proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be

obvious and you may be seriously injured.

► Use clamps to support workpiece whenever possible.

Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to

be securely clamped.

► Clamp the offcut side of the workpiece when using a

length stop. An unsecured offcut can bind between the

length stop and the saw blade.

► If securing the workpiece by hand, you must always

keep hands outside of “No Hand” area as marked with

a symbol on the base. Your hand, if placed inside the “No

Hands” region, can easily slip or be pulled into the blade.

► Support long workpieces to prevent them from tipping.

A tipping workpiece can lift up and contact the spinning

sawblade, or bring the operator’s hand upward into the

blade.

► For proper control, never “pull” the saw through the

cut, always chop or push cut. See page 17 of this manual.

► Cut only one workpiece at a time. Multiple workpieces

cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on

the blade or shift during cutting.

► Keep workpieces firmly against the rear fence when

cutting. Never cut workpieces that do not lay flat or

are curved in any way. A curved workpiece can be grabbed

by the blade and propelled back against the fence.

► Inspect workpieces for nails or foreign objects. Make

sure there are no tools or foreign objects on the saw.

► Do not cut round stock unless it is clamped in such a

way as to prevent rotation. Round stock will tend to roll

while it is being cut.

► Use only sawblades recommended by the

manufacturer and designed for use with the saw, with

a 30mm arbor bore, a 260mm diameter, and a

maximum thickness of 2mm. Be sure that the speed

marked on the saw blade is at least equal to the speed

marked on the saw. Do not use high speed steel saw

blades.

► Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.

Do not use the saw to cut materials other than those

recommended by the manufacturer. Never force the tool

or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

► Never use this saw for cutting ferrous metals.

► Never use saw blades that are damaged or deformed.

Never use a dull sawblade. A dull sawblade places undue

stress on the saw and the workpiece and can increase the

risk of kickback.

► Make sure the sawblade is securely installed and is not

backward. The arrow on the blade should match the

direction of the arrow marked on the tool.

Respiratory Exposure Safety Warnings

Substantial or repeated inhalation of dust and other airborne

contaminants, in particular those with a smaller particle size,

may cause respiratory or other illnesses. Various dusts

created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other

construction activities contain chemicals or substances known

(to the State of California and others) to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals/substances are:

► lead from lead-based paints;

► crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry

products;

► arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber; and

► some wood dusts, especially from hardwoods, but also from

some softwoods such as Western Red Cedar.

The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often

you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and use a properly

functioning dust extraction system. When the inhalation of

dust cannot be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or near

the ambient (background) level, the operator and any

bystanders should wear a respirator approved by NIOSH for

the type of dust encountered.
