5. Safety information

General power tool safety warnings À WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instruc- tions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref- erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper- ated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence offlam- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre- ate sparks which may ignite the dustor fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while op- erating a power tool. Distractions cancause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev- er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) pow- er tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground- ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or ground- ed.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will in- crease the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current de- vice (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. NOTE The term “residual current device (RCD)” can be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. À moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropri- ate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connect- ing to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying pow- er tools with your finger on the switch or energis- ing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. À wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, en- sure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct pow- er tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan- gerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detach- able, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safe- ty measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dan- gerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. |f dam- aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the pow- er tool for operations different from those intend- ed couldresult in a hazardous situation. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpect- ed situations.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. GB125

Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag- netic field during operation. This field can impair ac- tive or passive medical implants under certain condi- tions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manu- facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool. Safety instructions for mitre saws

Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood- like products, they cannot be used with abra- sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous materi- al such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts. Use clamps to support the workpiece when- ever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Unre- strained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the mo- tor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator. Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dan- gerous. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seri- ously injured. 261GB g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Al- ways make certain that there is no gap be- tween the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the Spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work- piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.

i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked mul-

tiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift dur- ing cutting. j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the ad- justable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.

1) Provide adequate support such as table ex-

tensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw ta- ble can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece 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. Un- stable 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. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. lf confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently. 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 be- ing cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade. Let the blade reach full speed before contact- ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.

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. 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. Hold the handle firmly when making an incom- plete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down posi- tion. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury. Safety Instructions for the handling of saw blades Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not per- mitted. Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel. Check the condition of the saw blades before us- ing the sliding compound mitre saw. Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the ma- terial to be cut is selected. Only use saw blades recommended by the man- ufacturer. Saw blades designed to cut wood and similar materials must comply with EN 847-1. Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy steel (HSS steel). Only use saw blades for which the maximum per- missible speed is not lower than the maximum spindle speed of the sliding compound mitre saw and which are suitable for the material to be cut. Observe the saw blade direction of rotation. Only insertion the saw blade if you have mastered their use. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum speed specified on the insertion tool may not be exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range. Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping surfaces. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for the reducing of holes on saw blades. Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the insertion tool have the same diameter and have at least 1/3 of the cutting diameter. Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to each other. 16 Handle insertion tool with caution. They are ide-

ally stored in the originally package or special containers. Wear protective gloves in order to im- prove grip and to further reduce the risk of injury. Prior to the use of insertion tools, make sure that all protective devices are properly fastened. 18 Prior to use, make sure that the insertion tool

meets the technical requirements of this electric tool and is properly fastened. Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood, never for the processing of metals. 20 Only use saw blade diameters in accordance with

the markings on the saw. Use additional workpiece supports, if required for workpiece stability. 22 Workpiece support extensions must always be

secured and used during work. Replace table inserts when worn! 24 Avoid overheating of the saw teeth. 25 When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic. Use the appropriate saw blades for this purpose. Replace damaged or worn saw blades immedi- ately. When the saw blade overheats, stop the machine. Allow the saw blade to cool down before using the machine again. Attention: Laser radiation Do not stare into the beam Class 2 laser Achtung! - Laserstrahlung Nicht in den Strahl blicken! Laser Masse 2 Laserspezikation nach EN 60825-12014 a 60m Pos 1m Protect yourself and you environment from ac- cidents using suitable precautionary measures! Do not look directly into the laser beam with un- protected eyes. Never look into the path of the beam. Never point the laser beam towards reflecting sur- faces and persons or animals. Even a laser beam with a low output can cause damage to the eyes. Caution - methods other than those specified here can result in dangerous radiation exposure. Never open the laser module. Unexpected expo- sure to the beam can occur. If you do not use the device for a long time, the batteries should be removed. The laser may not be replaced with a different type of laser. Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised representa- tive. GB127

Residual risks The machine has been built according to the state of the art and the recognised technical safety re- quirements. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation. Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables. Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re- main. Residual risks can be minimised if the ,safety in- structions“ and the ,Proper use“ are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions. Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade, which results in reduced output of the ma- chine in the processing and in cut precision. When cutting plastic material, please always use clamps: the parts which should be cut must always be fixed between the clamps. Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper- ating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet. Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In doing so, your machine provides optimal perfor- mance. Hands may never enter the processing zone when the machine is in operation. Release the handle button and switch off the ma- chine prior to any operations.

• S1 operating mode, continuous duty The work piece must have a minimum height of 3 mm and a minimum width of 10 mm. 28|GB Make sure that the workpiece is always secured with the clamping device. Noise Total noise values determined in accordance with EN 62841-1. Sound pressure level L, Uncertainty K,,.….. Sound power level L,,, Uncertainty K,,,... Wear hearing protection. The effects of noise can cause a loss of hearing The above-mentioned noise emission values were measured in accordance with a standardised test procedure and can be used to compare one power tool with another. The above-mentioned noise emission values can also be used for the preliminary assessment of ex- posure.

The noise emissions during the actual use of the power tool may differ from the above-mentioned values depending on the power tool being used, in particular on the type of workpiece being pro- cessed. Try to keep emissions as low as possible, for ex- ample by limiting your working time. In this regard, all the operational cycle phases must be taken into consideration (such as the times when the tool is switched off or running idle).
