Additional safety rules for mitre saws
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight before starting
any operation.
• Do not operate the machine without the guard in position, or if the
guard does not function or is not maintained properly.
• Never use your saw without the kerf plate.
• Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected
to the electrical power source.
• Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or
other means against the blade; serious accidents can be caused
unintentionally in this way.
• Before using any accessory consult the instruction manual.
The improper use of an accessory can cause damage.
• Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
• Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
• Use a holder or wear gloves when handling a saw blade.
• Ensure that the saw blade is mounted correctly before use.
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Keep the blade sharp.
• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended.
For the proper blade rating refer to the technical data. Use only the
blades specified in this manual, complying with EN 847-1.
• Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction blades.
• Do not use HSS blades.
• Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades.
• Do not use any abrasive discs.
• Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing the switch.
• Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing bevel cuts.
• Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor shaft.
• The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when the arm is
brought down; it will lower over the blade when the arm is raised.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw
blades or for inspection of the saw. Never raise the blade guard
manually unless the saw is switched off.
• Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained and free of
loose materials, e.g. chips and cut-offs.
• Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips.
• Replace the kerf plate when worn.
• Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any
maintenance work or when changing the blade.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is
still running and the head is not in the rest position.
• When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
• If you use a laser to indicate the cutting line, make sure that the laser is
of class 2 according to EN 60825-1:2001. Do not replace a laser diode
with a different type. If damaged, have the laser repaired by an authorised
repair agent.
• The front section of the guard is louvred for visibility while cutting.
Although the louvres dramatically reduce flying debris, there are
openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all times
when viewing through the louvres.

Residual risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
- injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw
blade.
- Risk of injury when changing the blade.
- Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
- Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing
wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
