Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoidcontact with any coasting blade. It can stillcause severe injury.2. Check the saw blade carefully for cracks ordeformation before operation.Replace damaged blades immediately.3. Replace the kerf board when worn.4. Use only saw blades specified by the manufac-turer which conform to EN847-1.5. Do not use saw blades manufactured fromhigh speed steel.6. Wear eye protection.7. Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk ofhearing loss.8. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (sawblades shall be carried in a holder whereverpracticable) and rough material.9. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting devicewhen sawing.10. Select saw blades in relation to the material tobe cut.11. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood.12. Always secure all moving portions before car-rying the tool. When lifting or carrying the tool,do not use the guard as a carrying handle.13. Do not operate saw without guards in place.Check blade guard for proper closing beforeeach use. Do not operate saw if blade guarddoes not move freely and close instantly.Never clamp or tie the blade guard into theopen position.14. Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g.chips and cut-offs.15. Use only saw blades that are marked with amaximum speed equal to or higher than the noload speed marked on the tool.16. When the tool is fitted with a laser or LED, donot replace the laser or LED with a differenttype. Ask an authorized service center for repair.17. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of theworkpiece from the cutting area whilst the toolis running with an unguarded saw blade.18. Do not perform any operation freehand. Theworkpiece must be secured firmly against theturn base and guide fence with the vise during alloperations. Never use your hand to secure theworkpiece.19. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.20. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.21. Support long workpieces with appropriateadditional supports.22. Never cut so small workpiece which cannot besecurely held by the vise. Improperly held workpiecemay cause kickback and serious personal injury.23. Never reach around saw blade.24. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stopbefore moving workpiece or changingsettings.25.
