ENH003-15 For Model LS1040F For European countries only ENF100-1 For public low-voltage distribution systems of between 220 V and 250 V. Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage fluctuations. The operation of this device under unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects to the operation of other equipment. With a mains impedance equal or less than 0.34 Ohms it can be presumed that there will be no negative effects.
17. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. Power tool use and care 18. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 19. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

It can still cause severe injury. Check the saw blade carefully for cracks or deformation before operation. Replace damaged blades immediately. Replace the kerf board when worn. Use only saw blades specified by the manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.
43. 44. Take care when slotting. Some dust created from operation contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based-painted material and, • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION • 1. Blade guard CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. 1 Blade guard 001782 1. Blade guard Kerf board 1. Kerf board 2. Turn base 1 003823 1 When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to its original position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
First, unplug the tool. Lower the handle completely. Use the socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below the top surface of the turn base at the point where the front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base. With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary. 1. Lever 2. Bevel scale 3.
For all countries other than European countries 1 2 Push the upper position of the switch for turning on the light and the lower position for off. Move the light to shift an area of lighting. 1. Lock-off button 2. Switch trigger 1. Light 2. Light switch 1 003825 2 To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
Install the flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock. Return the blade guard and center cover to its original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before making cut. 1. Socket wrench 2.
1 Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise. Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn base.
3. Holders and holder assembly (optional accessories) 1. Press cutting 1. Holder assembly 2. Holder 1 2 003830 Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a suggested wood facing. During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a complete stop. When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel to the blade.
Carrying tool 1. Miter angle 1. Stopper pin 1 1. Hex bolt 1 001792 002258 Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at left miter angle fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in the stopper pin. Carry the tool by carrying grip as shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can carry the tool more easily. Loosen the grip which secures the turn base.
