Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended
to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a
suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly,
e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Connect the saw to a dust-collecting device when sawing wood.
Wear gloves!
Before using the tool please read the instructions. If possible have
the tool demonstrated.
Ensure that the machine is always stable and secure (e.g. xed to
a bench)
Keep the oor area free of loose material e.g. chips and cut-os.
Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in
these instructions for use.
Only use tools that meet standard EN 847-1.
Do not use saw blades made of high-speed steel.
It is necessary to select a saw blade which is suitable for the
material being cut.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running
faster than their rated speed can break and y apart.
Transport and store the tools in a suitable receptacle;
Do not use any anges other than those supplied or indicated in the
instruction manual to secure the saw blade.
Never use the mitre saw to cut materials other than those specied
in the instruction manual.
Only use the saw with guards in good working order and properly
maintained, and in position.
Refrain from removing any cut-os or other parts of the workpiece
from the cutting area whilst the machine is running and the saw
head is not in the rest position.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Always use the protective shields on the machine.
Any faults with the machine, including any related to the safeguard
or the saw blades, must be reported to the persons in charge of
safety as soon as the faults are discovered.
Do not clamp the protective swing guard.
Long workpieces must be adequately supported.
The handle lock must always be engaged when transporting the
mitre saw.
When performing mitre, bevel or compound mitre cuts, adjust the
sliding fence to ensure the correct clearance from the blade.
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips and to
avoid melting plastic materials during cutting.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in uid or allow a uid to ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
h) 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.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpi-
eces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the
blade or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level,
rm work surface before use. A level and rm work surface
reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
mitre 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.
l) 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 mitre saw table
can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-o piece or workpiece
tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) 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.
n) The cut-o piece must not be jammed or pressed by any
means against the spinning saw blade. If conned, i.e. using
length stops, the cut-o piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a 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.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being
thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the mitre saw o. 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 mitre saw.
r) After nishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw
head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing
the cut-o piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting
blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle 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.
