WARNING: This product 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 the safe use of the product by a person responsible for their safety and who is competent in its safe use.

WARNING: For your protection if this tool is to be used outdoors it should not be exposed to rain, or used in damp locations. Do not place the tool on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry workbench if available. For added protection use a residual current device (R.C.D.) that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always check the operation of the residual current device (R.C.D.) before using the machine. If an extension cable is required it must be a suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled. The manufacturers instructions should be followed when using an extension cable. WARNING: When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following. WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: Rotating saw blades are extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury and amputation. Always keep fingers and hands at least 150mm (6”) away from the blade at all times. Never attempt to retrieve sawn material until the cutting head is in the raised position, the guard is fully closed and the saw blade has stopped rotating. Only use saw blades that are recommended by the manufacturer and as detailed in this manual and that comply with the requirements of EN 847-1. 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. WARNING: Some wood and wood type 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.

WARNING: The operation of any mitre saw can result in foreign objects being thrown towards your eyes, which could result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shield or a full face shield when needed. WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate your mitre saw until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to follow this rule could result in serious personal injury. WARNING: When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following.

WARNING: Do not use the blade guard as a ‘lifting point’. The power cord must be removed from the power supply before attempting to move the machine. WARNING: Due to the power input of this product on start up, voltage drops may occur and this can influence other equipment (e.g. dimming lights). So for technical reasons we advise, if the mains-impedance is Zmax<0.318 Ohm, these disturbances are not expected. If you require further clarification, you may contact your local power supply authority.
