Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.

To reduce the risk of injury, keep both hands on handle when raising and lowering the stand.

Before folding the stand, the miter saw MUST be removed from the stand.

Use only with metabo HPT mounting brackets. Mounting brackets offered by other than metabo HPT have not been tested with this stand and use of them could be hazardous. Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. These safety instructions are not meant to cover every possible condition that could occur.– 4 – English

Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area. ● Always keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Before you use the stand, make sure no parts of the stand are damaged or deformed.

Before you use the stand, make sure all the parts or components of the stand are properly installed.

Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use the stand in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. ● Always use the stand on a at and level surface. Do not use it at an uneven or unstable surface. Also, do not use the stand on slippery surface. It will greatly reduce the stand loading capacity.

The stand is designed to be used as a stand for metabo HPT miter saws and has a capacity of up to 400 lbs (181kgs). The total weight of the miter saw and workpiece must not exceed the capacity of this stand. Any misuse or abuse can result in product damage or personal injury. ● Do not sit or stand on the stand. Do not hang or put anything on it other than the miter saw on the stand. ● Do not modify the stand in any manner, or do not use the stand for any purpose other than for mounting a metabo HPT miter saw.

The stand should be used only for metabo HPT miter saws with a blade diameter up to 12” (305 mm). However, the stand will not work with C12FSA.

The miter saw should be rmly mounted with the stand as per the instruction manual.

Align the position and balance of the miter saw as per this instruction manual after mounting the miter saw on the stand.

Take care during the raising and lowering of the stand to reduce the hazard of pinching hands and ngers. ● Disconnect the power plug from the receptacle when mounting or dismounting the miter saw from the stand.

Mount the miter saw on the stand with the help of two or more people for your safety.

When you mount the miter saw on the stand, hold the miter saw rmly by hands until the mounting bracket cam latches tightly secured to prevent the miter saw from falling down from the stand rails.

After mounting the miter saw on the stand, make sure the stand will not fall over or be unintentionally moved by vibration, wind, impact or other foreseeable external forces. If this cannot be fullled, then stability shall be obtained by special safety measures. For example, securely anchor to the stand to the ground or foundation.

Occasionally check that the stand and the miter saw, making sure the mounting of the miter saw is still tight. A loose stand is unstable and may shift while in use causing serious injury. ● Before operating the mounted miter saw, read carefully the instruction manual for the miter saw.

Before operating the miter saw, conrm that the cam latches on the both mounting brackets are rmly fastened so that the miter saw is securely mounted on the stand. ● To prevent the miter saw from falling over from the stand, neatly layout the power cable on the ground to prevent operator or by standers from getting caught up by the cable. ● Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. ● Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets the requirements of ANSI Z87.1 when working with the miter saw to prevent eye injury. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection because they do not contain impact resistant safety glass. Also, use a face mask for additional safety and wear a dust mask if the cutting operation produces dust. ● Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. ● When cutting a long piece of wood, be careful about the material supporting position because the cut material may lose its balance and fall down from the stand. Also, if workpiece is placed beyond the work support, the leg on the other side of the stand may be suddenly lifted up due to unbalance of weight. To prevent such occurrence, rmly hold the opposite side and use extra support before starting cutting operation.– 5 – English CARTON CONTENTS
