The machine has been built according to the state of the art and the recognised technical safety requirements. 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 remain.

• Residual risks can be minimised if the “Important informa- tion”, „Additional safety instructions“ and the „Proper use“ are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.

• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pres- sure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade, which results in reduced output of the machine in the pro- cessing and in cut precision.

• When cutting plastic material, please always use clamps: the parts which should be cut must always be fixed be- tween the clamps.

• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet.

• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In do- ing so, your mitre saw provides optimal performance.

• Hands may never enter the processing zone when the machine is in operation.

• Release the handle button and switch off the machine prior to any operations.

Prior to commissioning, observe the safety in- structions in the operating instructions.

REMOVAL FROM THE PACKAGING

Remove the machine from its package, which protects it dur- ing transport, without damaging the package in order to be able to use it later for transporting the mitre saw for long-term storage. MOVING Since the mitre saw is relatively small and light, its location can be easily changed, even by a single person. After lock- ing the locking knob (26 - Fig. 4) in the bottom position, lift the mitre saw by the handle (34 - Fig. 4). TRANSPORT If the machine must be transported, carry it by the handle (34 - Fig. 4) and place it in the original packaging in which it was supplied. In the process, make sure that it is correctly positioned in the package (see arrows on the package). If possible, the load should be fixed with ropes or securing belts in order to prevent shifting during the transport or parts of the load from falling down.

• Never point the laser beam towards reflecting surfaces 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 exposure to the beam can occur.

• If the mitre saw is not used for an extended period of 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 representative.

The mitre saw is equipped with an extraction port to which an extraction system can be connected. Alternatively, a dust bag can also be attached. The hose of the extraction system is fastened on the extrac- tion port with a clamp. We recommend emptying the bag or container from time to time and cleaning the filter. The air speed of the suction system must be at least 30 metres per second.

If personnel qualified for unusual maintenance tasks or repairs must be obtained during of after the warranty period, please always contact a service point recommended by us or contact the manufacturer. m Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or ser- vice work disconnect the mains power plug!

• Only perform repair, maintenance and cleaning work as well as the correction of malfunctions with the drive switched off as a basic rule.

• All protective and safety equipment must be reassembled immediately after repair, maintenance is completed.

NORMAL SERVICE TASKS

Normal service tasks can also be performed by untrained personnel and are all described in the preceding sections and in this chapter.

• The mitre saw must not be lubricated, because it always cuts dry surfaces; all moving machine parts are self- lubricating.

• In the event of service work, personal protective equip- ment must always be work (protective goggles and gloves).

• Remove saw dust and chips regularly by cleaning the cutting zone and support surfaces. We recommend using a suction tool or brush. ATTENTION: Do not use compressed air! Check the saw blade from time to time: If problems arise with the blade, it must be ground by a specialist or re- placed, depending on the condition.

DECOMMISSIONING OF THE MACHINE

After the machine is decommissioned it can be disposed of with normal industrial waste. Switch ON / switch OFF the laser (Fig. 6) To switch on: Move the ON/OFF (33) switch of the la- ser (34) to the “1” position. A laser line is projected onto the material you wish to process, providing an exact guide for the cut. To switch off: Move the ON/OFF switch of the laser to the “0” position. Adjusting the laser (Fig. 7) If the laser (31) ceases to indicate the correct cutting line, you can readjust the laser. To do so, open the screws (32) and set the laser by moving sideways to that the laser beam strikes the teeth of the saw blade (5).

11. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The customer‘s mains connection as well as the extension cable used must also comply with these regulations. Important information In the event of an overloading the motor will switch itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the motor can be switched back on again. Damaged electrical connection cable The insulation on electrical connection cables is often dam- aged. This may have the following causes:

• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.

• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fastened or routed.

• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.

• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.

• Cracks due to the insulation ageing. Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage. Check the electrical connection cables for damage regu- larly. Make sure that the connection cable does not hang on the power network during the inspection. Electrical connection cables must comply with the applica- ble VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the marking „H 07 RN“. The printing of the type designation on the connection ca- ble is mandatory. AC motor

• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a cross-sec- tion of 1.5 mm
