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-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any
means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e.
using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
o.
Always use a clamp or a fixture 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 off. 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 finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw
head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing
the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the
coasting blade is dangerous.
s.
Hold the handle firmly 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.
Additional safety and working instructions
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
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.,
fi xed to a bench)
Keep the fl oor area free of loose material e.g. chips and
cut-offs.
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 fl y apart.
Transport and store the tools in a suitable receptacle;
Do not use any fl 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
specifi ed 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-offs 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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The mitre saw can be used for sawing solid wood, bonded
wood, glued veneer, materials similar to wood, and plastics.
Stock having a round or irregular cross section (such as
fi rewood) must not be cut, as it can not be securely held
during cutting. When sawing thin stock layed on edge, a
suitable auxilary fence must be used for fi rm support.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in use and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
▪
Impairment of hearing, restrict exposure and wear
appropriate hearing protection.
▪
Measures that can be taken by operator to possibly reduce
the effects of vibration and limit the amount of exposure.
▪
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
sawing wood, wear a mask if necessary.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should
be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to
heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
