2 For longitudinal cuts use the parallel guide to support the
workpiece.
3 Approach the workpiece to the cutting disk applying
maximum caution keeping your hands distanced from
the cutting path.
4
Push the workpiece with an intensity that is suitable for
the characteristics of the material.
5

PRECAUTIONS AND PROTECTIVE GARMENT
11.
This electrical tool may only be handled by adult personnel
who have received suitable training and instructions,
complying with laws as established to this respect and what
has been set forth as a matter of prevention for the working
place.
In addition, the operator must have understood and
assimilated, and fully comply with the present manual.
This machine requires the use of the following individual
protective equipments:
1
Protective helmet
2 Integral face-protecting equipment (eyes and face)
against impacts
3 Ear protectors
4 Dust mask
5 Protective gloves against mechanical aggression
6 Boots with toe caps and insoles
7 Working garment
8 Tool bag
9 Safety belt (occasional)
SPECIAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12.
Safety Precautions
- Do not use saw blades that are damaged or deformed.
- Do not use the saw without guards in position, especially
after a mode change, and keep guards in good working
properly maintained.
- Replace the block of the table when worn.
- Only use blades recommended by the manufacturer saw,
with a warning that the keel should not be thicker than the
width of the groove of the cut made by the saw blade and
not thinner than the body of the blade; Specific saw blades
for cutting wood must comply with EN 847-1.
- Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
- Connect the saw to a dust collection system when sawing
wood.
- Always store the push stick in place when not in use
Description of risks specifically related to the
machine
Any of the following prior risk conditions must have existed for
the risks to become real:
1
The operator has not been suitably trained.
2
The mitre saw has not been installed suitably.
3
The mitre saw has not been maintained correctly.
4
The mitre saw has been disassembled and then been
assembled incorrectly.
5
The mitre saw has been disassembled and assembled
with parts lacking.
6
Operator does not use the protection as indicated.
7 Operator grasps the workpiece with his/her hand.
8 Operator exposes his/her hands, body or garment to the
cutting path.
The two main classes of risks entailed by the use of this
machine are contacts with the cutting disk and projections of
particles or cut pieces.
MEASURE FOR PREVENTING MACHINE-SPECIFIC
13.
RISKS
1. Preventing contacts with the cutting disk
ENGLISH
25
1.1 Prevention during the development of the cutting
operation
1 The operator must mandatorily be sufficiently trained
and instructed, and know the present manual in such a
manner that he/she is able to know if a machine or his/
her working environment are suspicious of not providing
a perfect service.
Do not use the machine under these circumstances!
2
Revise any lack of guards or any other component of the
machine.Never use a machine that is not complete, not
in a perfect condition and not correctly installed. If the
machine has been manipulated, lacks pieces or is in a
bad condition, disconnect it, remove it from the working
area, do not use it and send it to the technical service.
3
Never put your hands or any other part of the body nor
garment upon or below the cutting area of the disk or
within the cutting path of the disk.
4 Fastening the workpiece to be cut shall not be carried
out manually but with the assistance of pushers, wedgers
and clamps warranting a firm fastening of the workpiece
to be cut under any circumstances (appearance of nods,
etc.). By putting this preventive measure into practice the
risk of contact with the disks during the development of
the operation is practically excluded as it allows hands to
remain distanced from the hazardous area.
5 Always disconnect the machine when leaving it alone.
6 The presence of one or more assistants will be required
for cutting workpieces being longer than 1.5 m.
1.2 Preventing fortuitous contacts with the disk rotating
without load in the resting position
Independently from that the disk, when resting, stays
protected by the safety guards as installed, it is categorically
advised against using the locking switch so as to guarantee
that disk does not rotate without load in the resting position
thereof
1.3 Preventing abrupt falls of the disk due to breakage of
the spring
1 By means of a regular maintenance the machine will
always be in a perfect condition.
2 Check the area and the machine on each working day
and routinely test all movements visually with the machine
disconnected.
3 Check springs and the bearings thereof on each
working, and have them checked periodically by qualified
personnel.
4 Make sure that the head perfectly ascends to its upper
position by the sole action of springs.
5 Check the upper locking system on each working day by
raising the head up to abutment and checking locking and
unlocking by means of button, and have this periodically
checked by qualified personnel.
6
Never expose your hands or any other part of your body
to he cutting path.
7
Never allow the head that holds the disk to remain in an
undetermined position unless the operator is mandatorily
grasping the control grip.
8
For any break between cuttings, however short it may be,
always use the automatic lock of the head in the upper
position by raising the head to the upper stopper.
9
Each time that the machine remains at rest, leave it in the
lower resting position by placing the head at 90º vertical
and 0º horizontal, protecting by means of the stationary
guard and finally locking it by lowering the head and
pushing button.
2. Preventing projections of the cut workpiece
So as to carry out the cutting of workpieces using a
stopper,
this latter must be foldable or movable. Once the operator
has selected the cutting range and firmly fixed the workpiece
to the table, he/she will remove the stopper so as to prevent
the workpiece as cut from wedging between the stopper and
the disk.
