8.3 Clamping the workpiece
Warning! Note the workpiece's proper­
ties:
Risk of injury
Securely in place – Place the workpieces on the
stop ruler. Do not process any workpieces that
have not been securely clamped.
Size – do not process workpieces that are too
small. In the interests of safety, the cut piece
remaining should be at least 30 mm long.
Small workpieces may be pulled backwards by
the saw blade and into the gap between the saw
blade and the stop ruler.
Correct support – Observe the maximum work­
piece dimensions. Always use and secure ex­
tensions to the workpiece support. Otherwise,
the workpiece may be subjected to internal
stresses, which may lead to sudden deforma­
tions. If required, observe the information for
workpiece dimensions (see section )
Proceed as follows to clamp the workpiece [7]
► Push the saw unit downwards until it rea­
ches the limit stop.
► Pull the lever for the transport locking de­
vice [7-1].
► Slowly guide the saw unit upwards.
► Place the workpiece so that it is flush with
the stop ruler [7-3].
► Use the fastening clamp [7-2] to secure the
workpiece in place.
► Check that the workpiece is securely in
place.
Check that the pendulum guard can move
The pendulum guard must always be able
to move freely and close independently.
► Pull out the mains plug.
► Take hold of the pendulum guard and, as a
trial run, slide it into the saw unit.
The pendulum guard must be easy to move
and must be almost fully lowered into the
pendulum hood.
Cleaning the area of the saw blade
► Always keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean.
► Clear dust and chippings by blowing out
with compressed air or using a brush.
Compound mitre saws
The basic function of the compound mitre saw
is to saw using a fixed saw unit with no inclina­
tion. Recommended: Workpieces up to 70 mm
in width.
