Mitresaw WARNING! The declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a standard test method of EN 62841-1 and EN 62841-3-9, and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. The noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can dier from the declared values depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed. Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched o and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time). Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS

a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-o wheels for cutting ferrous material 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. b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever 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. c) 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. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury. d) 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 motor, 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. e) 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 dangerous. f) 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 seriously injured.31

g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between 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. h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. 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 multiple workpi-

eces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting. j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, rm work surface before use. A level and rm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable. k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable 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. l) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-o 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. Unstable 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. n) The cut-o piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If conned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-o piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently. o) Always use a clamp or a xture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade. p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown. q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw o. 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. r) After nishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-o piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous. s) Hold the handle rmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

WOOD CUTTING BLADE SAFETY WARNINGS

Please read the manual and instructions carefully before using the saw blade and the machine. The machine must be in good condition, the spindle without deformation and vibration. Do not use the saw without the guards in position, keep guards in good working order and properly maintained. Ensure the operator is adequately trained in safety precautions, adjustment, and operation of the machine. Always wear goggles and ear protection when using the machine. It is recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non-slip shoes and apron. Before using any accessory, consult the instruction manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause damage and increase the potential for injury. Use only blades specied in this manual, complying with EN 847-1. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade. Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least equal to the speed marked on the saw. Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will runeccentrically, causing loss of control. Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter other than recommended. Do not use any spacers to make the blade t onto the spindle. Check the tips of the saw blade for damage or abnormal appearance before each use. Tips that are damaged or loose can become ying objects in use and increase the chance of personal injury. Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades. Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed Scrap the saw blade if damaged, deformed, distorted or cracked, repairing is not permitted. Do not use HSS blades. Ensure the saw blade is mounted correctly, tighten the arbor nut securely before use (tightening torque approx. 12 Nm). Fastening screw and nuts shall be tightened using the appropriate spanner, etc. Extension of the spanner or tightening using hammer blows is not permitted. Make sure the blade and anges are clean and the recessed sides of the collar are against the blade. Make sure the blade rotates in the correct direction. Before work, make a dummy cut without the motor turned on so the position of the blade, operation of the guards with respect to other machine parts and workpiece may be checked. Never leave the machine unattended. Do not apply lubricants on the blade when it is running. Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is still running and the head is not in the rest position. 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. Disconnect the saw from the mains supply or remove battery pack before changing blades or carrying out maintenance. English32

Pay attention to blade packing and unpacking, it is easy to be injured by the sharp blade tips. Use a blade holder or wear gloves when handling a saw blade. Keep and store the blade in original packaging or other suitable packaging, keep in dry conditions and away from chemicals which may damage the blade.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Always clamp the workpiece safely and securely. Ensure that the machine is always stable and secure (e.g. xed to a bench). Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Always wear safety goggles when using the machine. It is recom- mended to wear gloves for handling blades and rough material, as well as sturdy non-slip shoes which also protect the feet from workpieces that may fall from the cutting area. Always make sure the power plug has been removed from the mains power source before making adjustments, lubricating or when doing any maintenance on the product. Only plug-in when machine is switched o. Never reach into the area near the blade, unless the blade has completely stopped. Before use, thoroughly check the tool for any damage or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised Service Agents. Always use the guards on the machine. Do not use the machine if the guards are not in place and working correctly. The lower blade guard should only open when the blade is lowered to the workpiece and must always be able to move freely and close automatically.. Always x and use extension bar holders for workpiece support during operation. Never alter of modify the saw or its function. Your safety may be compromised. Do not use saw blades which are cracked, damaged, or deformed. Do not use saw blades made of high-speed steel. Only use saw blades which are sharp. Replace blunt blades with a new replacement. Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will runeccentrically, causing loss of control. Use only woodworking blades specied in this manual, which comply with EN 847-1. Do not use any anges, washers, and nuts to secure the saw blade other than those supplied or indicated in the instruction manual. It is necessary to select a saw blade which is suitable for the mate- rial being cut. Never use the product to cut materials other than those specied in the intended use section in this manual. It is important to avoid overheating the blade and melting the plastic workpiece when cutting. It is essential to adhere to the maximum speed specied on the saw blade. only use saw blade that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool. Replace the table insert when worn or damaged. Before work, make a dummy cut without the motor turned on so the position of the blade, operation of the guards with respect to other machine parts, and workpiece may be checked. When performing mitre, bevel or compound mitre cuts, adjust the sliding fence to ensure the correct clearance from the blade. The bracket stop must always be engaged when transporting the product. Keep the oor area free of loose material e.g. chips and cut-os. Refrain from removing any cut-os or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is running and the saw head is not in the rest position. Long workpieces must be adequately supported.The working area of the saw includes the whole extent of the workpiece. The operator should secure this area from accidental contact from other persons or objects which may move the workpiece during operation.
