If extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.

GENERAL SAFETY

• Familiarize yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards of the saw.

• WARNING! Disconnect the saw from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.

• The machine must only be serviced by a qualified person or service agent. Contact your Sealey stockist for information.

• Select a work area suitable for the saw and keep the area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure that there is adequate lighting.

• Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation and skin contact. Concentrations of small dust particles in the air can form an explosive mixture. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the saw is attached to a dust-extraction unit.

• Maintain the saw in good condition, check moving parts alignment regularly. Keep saw blades clean and sharp. ,

• Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

• WARNING! Keep all guards and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts.

• A guard, or any other part, that is damaged should be repaired or replaced before the saw is next used. The safety guard is a mandatory fitting where the saw is used in premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.

• Before commencing work, ensure the saw blade is set to cut in the correct direction, securely fastened, sharp and is compatible with the machine, spindle speed and the material to be cut. Never use a saw blade if damaged, bent or warped. Use only recommended saw blades.

• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine and the vicinity before switching on.

• Machine operators must have received sufficient training and instructions relating to the dangers associated with the machine, the precautions to be observed and the requirements of the Wood Working Machines Regulations.
  Operators must be under the adequate supervision of a person who has a thorough knowledge and experience of the machine and the appropriate regulations.

• DO NOT operate the saw if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

• DO NOT operate the saw when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

• When not in use switch off the saw and unplug from the power supply. ,

• WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders and, if dust is generated, respiratory protection.

• Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewelry and contain long hair.

• Keep hands and body clear of the blade when operating the saw.

• Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.

• Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the work area.

• Avoid unintentional starting and never leave the saw operating unattended.

• DO NOT use the saw for a task it is not designed to perform and ensure operators are trained to use the saw.

• DO NOT get the saw wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.

• DO NOT use the saw where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents and including waste cleaning rags etc.

SPECIFIC SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

• Use clamps to support the work piece whenever possible. If supporting the work piece 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.

• The work piece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the work piece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving work pieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.

• Push the saw through the work piece. Do not pull the saw through the work piece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the work piece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the work piece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the work piece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.

• Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the work piece “cross handed” i.e. holding the work piece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

• 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.

• Inspect your work piece before cutting. If the work piece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the work piece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped work pieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the
  work piece.

• 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.

• Cut only one work piece at a time. Stacked multiple work pieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

• Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable.

• Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the work piece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and with no work piece 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.

• Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a work piece that is wider or longer than the table top. Work pieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or work piece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.

• The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

• Always use a clamp or a fixture 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.

• Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the work piece. This will reduce the risk of the work piece being thrown.

• If the work piece 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 work piece could cause loss of control or damage to the miter saw.

• After finishing 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.

• Hold the handle firmly 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.

• Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

• Before making a cut make sure the depth, bevel and miter adjustments are tight.

• Use correct blades. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or bolts that are defective or incorrect. Refer to unit specification for maximum blade capacity etc.

• Inspect and remove all nails from timber before cutting.

• Never touch the blade or moving parts during use.

• Never start the saw when the blade is in contact with the work piece.

• LASER LIGHT. LASER RADIATION DO NOT stare into beam. Only turn laser beam on when tool is on work piece.
