13 . Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14 . Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have them

the influence of drugs or alcohol.
20 . Check for damaged parts.
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Never attempt any repairs yourself.

WARNING! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation
with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury.
21 . Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
This electric tool complies relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified
persons using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable danger to
the user.
Additional Safety Rules for Table Top Mitre Saws
• This machine is equipped with a specially configured power supply cord (type M attachment).
If the power supply cord is damaged or otherwise defective, it must only be replaced by the
manufacturer or by an authorized repair agent.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.
• Never use the saw without the guards in position, especially after a mode change. Ensure the
guards are in good working order and properly maintained.
• 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.
• Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least equal to the speed marked on the
rating plate.
• Wear suitable gloves when handling saw blade and rough materials.
• 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. Do not use any spacers
to make the blade fit onto the spindle. 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 saw blades manufactured from high speed steel (HSS).
• Do not use saw blades which are damaged, cracked or deformed.
• Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing the switch.
• 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.
• Periodically check that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips.
• Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any maintenance work or when
changing the blade.
• When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
• When performing mitre, bevel or compound mitre cuts, adjust the sliding mitre fence to
ensure the correct clearance for the application.
24
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while
the saw is running.
• Before work checks that the machine is placed on an even surface with sufficient stability.
• Never cut light alloy, especially magnesium.
• Do not use any abrasive or diamond discs.
• In case of an accident or machine failure, immediately turn the machine off and disconnect
machine from the power source.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using
the defective machine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting, turn the machine
off and disconnect it from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw
blade runs free. Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feed force.
• Ensure that your position is always left or right of the cutting line.
• Provide adequate general or localized lighting
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in use, adjustment and operation of the machine.
• Turn the machine off when unattended.
• Connect the saw to a dust collection when sawing wood. Always consider factors influencing
exposure of dust such as:
ʵ type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust than wood);
ʵ correct adjustment of saw blade;
ʵ ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are properly adjusted;
ʵ dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s
• Be sure all blade and flanges are clean and the recessed sides of the collar are against the
blade. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
• Use only saw blades that are sharp and well maintained.
• Do not attempt to operate on anything but the designated voltage
• Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
• Ensure that bystanders do not stand behind the machine.
• For your own safety always mount the machine to a work bench using bolts with a diameter
of 8 mm and 80 mm in length.
Additional Safety Rules for Table Saw Mode
• Replace the table insert when worn.
• When performing vertical straight cross-cuts, adjust the sliding fence correctly to ensure a
clearance of max. 5 mm between the saw blade and the fence.
• Never use your saw without the table insert.
• Never cut when riving knife and/or upper guard are removed.
• Always use the push stick. Never cut workpieces smaller than 30 mm.
• Without additional support, the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece
size of:
ʵ Height 51 mm by width 500 mm by length 700 mm
ʵ Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional table.
• The riving knife shall not be thicker than the width of the groove cut by the saw blade and not
thinner than the body of the saw blade.
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the teeth are pointing to the
front of the saw bench.
• Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.
• Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct distance from the blade – maximum
5 mm.
• Keep your hands out of the path of the saw blade.
• Disconnect the saw from the mains supply before changing blades or carrying
out maintenance.
• Use a push stick at all times and never place hands closer than 150 mm from the saw blade
while cutting.
• Do not reach around behind the saw blade.
• Always keep the push stick in its place when not in use.
• Do not stand on top of the unit.
• During transportation, make sure that the upper part of the saw blade is covered, e.g.
the guard.
• Do not use the upper guard for handling or transportation.
• Adjust the sliding fence correctly to avoid contact with the upper guard.
• Ensure that the table is securely fixed.
• Do not use the saw for cutting any material other than wood.
• Slotting, rebating or grooving is not allowed.
• Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when sawing in the bench saw mode. Only use the
machine when the saw bench table is in horizontal position.
Mitre Saw Mode
• Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing bevel cuts.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is running and the saw
head is not in the rest position.
• Ensure that the upper portion of the saw blade is securely fixed at the chosen height. Never
remove the upper blade guard when using the machine in mitre saw mode.
• Never cut workpieces shorter than 160 mm.
• Without additional support, the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece
size of:
