SAFETY RULES WHILE WORKING WITH TOOLS
9-
10.
Keep the working area clean. Injuries are more likely to occur if the working area and bench are cluttered.
Keep the environment safe. Do not expose the tools to rain and do not use them in humid or wet environments.
Work in a well lit area. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
Keep yourself safe from electric shocks. Avoid coming into contact with surfaces that are connected to the earth.
Keep away onlookers and children. Children and onlookers are to remain at a safe distance from the working area.
Tools are to be tidied away when not in use. All tools that are not in use must be stored under lock and key in a dry
place, out of the reach of children.
Do not force the tool. It will be safer and perform better if allowed to work at the speed for which it was designed.
Use a tool with a size and rating that are best suited to the task in hand. Do not force a small tool to do the work of
a heavy-duty tool. For example, do not use a circular saw to cut branches or logs.
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothes or jewellery that could be caught in moving parts. Non-skid
shoes are particularly recommended for outdoor work. Wear a protective covering to contain long hair.
Always wear safety goggles. A mask should also be used if the operation generates dust.
Connect the dust removal equipment. If any dust recovery systems are available, make sure they are connected and
used correctly.
Take care of the electrical cord. Never pull the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
Secure the workpiece. As far as possible, use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. Do not hold the workpiece in
place with your hands.
Do not bend over the tool. Keep your balance at all times.
Keep the tools in perfect condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for maximum efficiency and safety. Follow the
instructions while lubricating and changing accessories. Regularly check the cord and replace it if damaged. Keep
the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
Disconnect the tool when not in use, before maintenance work and before changing accessories such as blades, drill
bits, cutters, etc.
Keep away any tightening and adjusting keys. Get into the habit of making sure that tightening and adjusting keys
have been moved away from the tool before starting it up.
Avoid unintentional starting up. Make sure that the switch is set to OFF before you connect the tool.
Only use extension cords designed for outdoor use. While using the tool outdoors, only use extension cords that
have been designed for outdoor use, marked to that effect.
19.
Stay alert. Do not use the tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
20.
Inspect all parts for damage. Before continuing to use the tool, inspect any safety guard or other part for damage,
in order to make sure that it is operating satisfactorily and fulfilling its purpose. Check that moving parts are
properly aligned, not jamming and not broken. Also, check the assembly or any other condition that could affect
operation. Any damaged part or guard must be repaired or replaced in an approved after-sales service centre. Do

Warning: the use of accessories that are not recommended in this manual may give rise to a risk of injury.
22.
Have the tool repaired by a qualified technician. This electric tool has been manufactured in accordance with appro
priate safety requirements. Repairs may only be carried out by a qualified person using original spare parts.
Otherwise, they may be very hazardous for the user.
23.
Keep these instructions for reference and give them to any new owner of the machine.
1.
Warning: Only use blades designed for cross cutting. While using carbide-tipped blades, make sure their cutting
angle is zero or negative. Do not use blades with deep gullets as they could bend and come in contact with the
blade guard.
2.
Warning: Do not use the saw before it is fully assembled and installed according to the instructions.
3.
If you are not fully familiar with the use of sliding mitre saws, obtain advice from the supervisor, instructor or
another competent person.
4.
Warning: Sawing by pulling the saw towards you can be hazardous, as the saw may jump up towards you. Always
push the saw forward away from your body and towards the guide fence when sawing with the help of the sliding
mechanism.
5.
While using the saw as a mitre saw and plunge cutting, make sure that the saw slide mechanism is locked to stop it
moving back towards the operator.
6.
While folding the feet in or out, take care not to pinch your fingers.
7.
Place the support on a flat and horizontal surface to stop the machine from rocking or tipping.
8.
Make sure the extensions are locked properly before starting the tool.
9.
Do not stand on the table or use the extensions as ladders or scaffolding.
10.
Do not exceed a weight of 20 kg per extension.
11.
Warning: Never place your hands inside the area designated as the hazardous area while the tool is operating.
12.
Always keep the workpiece properly applied against the guide fence and the table. Do not perform free-hand
operations.
13-
Important: If the workpiece is such that the hands need to be located less than 10 cm from the saw blade, the piece
must be clamped to the table before cutting.
14.
Make sure that the blade is properly sharpened and that it can turn freely with no vibrations.
15.
Let the motor reach full speed before starting to cut.
16.
Keep the motor air circulation openings clean and free of chips.
