Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂ ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

English

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not

allow for safe handling and control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by

the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with

another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and ﬁ re.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects, like paper clips,

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal

objects, that can make a connection from one

terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause

burns or a ﬁ re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water.

If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is

damaged or modiﬁ ed.

Damaged or modiﬁ ed batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in ﬁ re, explosion

or risk of injury.

f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to ﬁ re or

excessive temperature.

Exposure to ﬁ re or temperature above 265°F

(130°C) may cause explosion.

g) Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the battery pack or tool outside

the temperature range speciﬁ ed in the

instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside

the speciﬁ ed range may damage the battery and

increase the risk of ﬁ re.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical

replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

b) Never service damaged battery packs.

Service of battery packs should only be performed

by the manufacturer or authorized service

providers.

PRECAUTION

Keep children and inﬁ rm persons away.

When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach

of children and inﬁ rm persons.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAW

a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like

products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-

oﬀ wheels for cutting ferrous material such as

bars, rods, studs, etc.

Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower

guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn

the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.

b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever

possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,

you must always keep your hand at least 100

mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use

this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be

securely clamped or held by hand.

If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there

is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.

c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped

or held against both the fence and the table.

Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut

"freehand" in any way.

Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown

at high speeds, causing injury.

d) Never cross your hand over the intended line of

cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.

Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding

the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your

left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

e) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand

closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw

blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason while the blade is spinning.

The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand

may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

f) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the

workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the

outside bowed face toward the fence. Always

make certain that there is no gap between the

workpiece, fence and table along the line of the

cut.

English

Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and

may cause binding on tile spinning saw blade while

cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in

the workpiece.

g) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of

all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the

workpiece.

Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects

that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with

high speed.

h) Cut only one workpiece at a time.

Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately

clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift

during cutting.

i) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a

level, ﬁ rm work surface before use.

A level and ﬁ rm work surface reduces the risk of the

miter saw becoming unstable.

j) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel

or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable

fence is set correctly to support the workpiece

and will not interfere with the blade or the

guarding system.

Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece

on the table, move the saw blade through a complete

simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or

danger of cutting the fence.

k) Provide adequate support such as table

extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that

is wider or longer than the table top.

Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table

can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-oﬀ piece or

workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown

by the spinning blade.

l) Do not use another person as a substitute for a

table extension or as additional support.

Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the

blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the

cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the

spinning blade.

m) The cut-oﬀ piece must not be jammed or pressed

by any means against the spinning saw blade.

If conﬁ ned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-oﬀ piece

could get wedged against the blade and thrown

violently.

n) Always use a clamp or a ﬁ xture designed to

properly support round material such as rods or

tubing.

Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing

the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand

into the blade.

o) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting

the workpiece.

This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being

thrown.

p) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn

the miter saw oﬀ . Wait for all moving parts to stop

and disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to

free the jammed material.

Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could

cause loss of control or damage to the miter saw.

q) After ﬁ nishing the cut, release the switch, hold

the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop

before removing the cut-oﬀ piece.

Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is

dangerous.

r) Hold the handle ﬁ rmly when making an

incomplete cut or when releasing the switch

before the saw head is completely in the down

position.

The braking action of the saw may cause the saw

head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk

of injury.

period is not activated, the electric discharge might

be low when using them the ﬁ rst and second time.

This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time

required for recharging will be restored by recharging

the batteries 2–3 times.

English

How to make the batteries perform longer

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become

completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes

weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.

If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric

current, the battery may be damaged and its life will

become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after

use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after

use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,

and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the

battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION

●

When the battery charger has been continuosly

used, the battery charger will be heated, thus

constituting the cause of the failures. Once the

charging has been completed, give 15 minutes

rest until the next charging.

●

If the battery is charged while it is heated

because it has been left for a long time in a

location subject to direct sunlight or because the

battery has just been used, the charge indicator

lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does

not light for 0.3 seconds (oﬀ for 0.3 seconds). In

such a case, ﬁ rst let the battery cool, then start

charging.

●

When the charge indicator lamp ﬂ ickers (at

0.2-second intervals), check for and take out

any foreign objects in the charger’s battery

installation hole. If there are no foreign objects,

it is probable that the battery or charger is

malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized

Service Center.

Fig. 26

WARNING

When the workpiece is secured on the left or

right side of the blade, the short cut-oﬀ portion

will come to rest on the right or left side of the

saw blade. Always turn the power oﬀ and let the

saw blade stop completely before raising the

handle from the workpiece.

If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still

rotating, the cut-oﬀ piece may become jammed

against the saw blade causing fragments to

scatter about dangerously.

When stopping the bevel cutting operation

halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor

head to the initial position.

Starting from halfway, without pulling back,

causes the safety cover to be caught in the

cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact

the saw blade.

6. Compound cutting procedures

Compound cutting can be performed by following

the instructions in 4 and 5 above. For maximum

dimensions for compound cutting, refer to

“SPECIFICATIONS” table on page 13.

English

CAUTION

Always secure the workpiece with the right hand

side for compound cutting. Never rotate the table

to the right for compound cutting, because the

saw blade might then contact the clamp or vise

that secures the workpiece, and cause personal

injury or damage.

7. Crown molding cutting procedures
