9. Operation / Use as table saw

We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that these chop and mitre saws and table saws, identified by type and serial number *1), meet all relevant requirements of directives *2) and standards *3). Test report *4), Issuing testing authority *5), Technical documents for *6) - see page 4. The chop and mitre saw and table saw is suitable for longitudinal and transverse cutting, angled cutting, mitre cuts and double mitre cuts. Only materials for which the respective saw blade is suited may be machined (approved saw blades see chapter 13. Accessories). The permitted dimensions of the workpieces must be complied with (see chapter 17. Technical Data). Workpieces with round or irregular cross-section (such as firewood) must not be cut, as they cannot be held securely during the cutting process. When sawing a thin workpiece laid on its edge, a suitable guide must be used for firm support. Do not use machine for cutting slots / inserts (groove ending in the workpiece). Do not use machine for notches or grooves. Any other use does not comply with the intended purpose. Unspecified use, modification of the device or use of parts that have not been tested and approved by the manufacturer can cause unforeseeable damage! Where applicable, follow the legal directives or regulations for the prevention of accidents. For your own protection and for the protection of your electrical tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol! WARNING! When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following. Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this prod-ct and save these instructions. WARNING – Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury. Pass on your power tool only together with these documents. General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING – Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference!

3.1 Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Do not let other people, particularly children, touch the power tool or cable.

3.2 Electrical Safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) 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. e) 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. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or not concentrating or are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply, lift or carry it. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) 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. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust- related hazards. h) 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.

3.4 Power Tool Use and Care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Use the correct power tool. Do not use the power tool for purposes, for which it is not designed. Do not use low-power machines for heavy-duty work. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) 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 dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, elevated or closed location out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and accessories with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Follow the instructions for lubrication and tool replacement. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) 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 unexpected situations.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. a) Chop, mitre and table saws are designed for cutting wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used to cut ferrous materials such as rods, bars, screws, 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) When using as chop and mitre saw: Fix the workpiece with clamps. Do not use this saw to cut pieces, which are too small to clamp. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact. c) When used as a chop and mitre saw: The workpiece must be immobile and tightly clamped. 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) 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. e) When used as a chop and mitre saw: Do not grab the rotating blade behind the limit stop. Do not undercut a safety distance of 100 mm between the hand and the rotating saw blade (applies to both sides of the saw blade, e.g. when removing wood scraps). The Contents

3. General Safety Instructions

proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured. f) When used as a chop and mitre saw: Check the 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. g) 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. h) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

i) Before use, ensure that the machine is

standing on a level, solid work surface. A level and solid work surface reduces the risk that the machine will become unstable. j) When used as a chop and mitre saw: 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. k) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for workpieces that are wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces, which are longer or wider than the machine's table, may tip if they are not firmly supported. If a cut off piece of wood or the workpiece tips, it can lift the protective cover or can spin away from the rotating blade unchecked. l) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece may lead to binding of the blade. The workpiece can also shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade. m) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently. n) Let the blade reach full speed before you cut into the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown. o) If the workpiece is stuck or the blade blocked, switch off the machine. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source. Then work to free the jammed material. If you continue sawing despite such a block, loss or control or damage to the machine are possible.

4.1 Additional Safety Instructions

– These operating instructions are intended for people with basic technical knowledge in handling machines such as the one described here. If you have had no experience with machines of this kind, you should initially work under the supervision of people with previous experience. – The manufacturer bears no liability for damage caused by non-compliance with these operating instructions. Information in these operating instructions is designated as shown below: Danger! Risk of personal injury or environ- mental damage. Risk of electric shock! Risk of personal injury from electric shock. Drawing-in/trapping hazard! Risk of personal injury by body parts or clothing being drawn into the ro- tating saw blade. Caution! Risk of material damage. Note: Additional information. Please also observe the special safety instructions in the respective chapters. Where applicable, follow the legal directives or regulations for the prevention of accidents. General hazards! Consider environmental conditions: Keep the foot area free from loosen particles, such as shavings and offcuts. Use suitable workpiece supports when cutting long stock. The saw shall only be started and operated by persons familiar with circular saws and who are at any time aware of the dangers associated with the operation of such tools. Persons under 18 years of age shall use this tool only in the course of their vocational training, under the supervision of an instructor. Keep bystanders, particularly children, out of the danger zone. Do not permit other persons to touch the tool or power cable while it is running. Avoid overheating of the saw teeth. When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic. Danger from electricity! Do not expose tool to rain. Do not operate tool in damp or wet environment. Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded objects such as radiators, pipes, cooking stoves, refrigerators when operating this tool. Do not use the power cable for purposes it is not intended for. Risk of personal injury and crushing by moving parts! Do not operate the tool without installed guards. Always keep sufficient distance to the saw blade. Use suitable feeding aids, if necessary. Keep sufficient distance to driven components when operating the power tool. Wait for the saw blade to come to a complete stop before removing cutoffs, scrap, etc. from the work area. Cut only workpieces of dimensions that allow for safe and secure holding while cutting. Use clamping devices or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is held safer by these devices than by your hand. Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by pushing the workpiece against its side. Disconnect the mains plug before starting any setting, maintenance or repair work. Turn power off if the tool is not used. Disconnect the mains plug if the tool is not used. Ensure that when switching on (e.g. after servicing) no tools or loose parts are left on or in the tool. Cutting hazard, even with the cutting tool at standstill! Wear gloves when changing cutting tools. Store saw blade in such manner that nobody will get hurt. When using as chop and mitre saw: Danger from kickback of the saw head (saw blade gets caught in the workpiece and the saw head suddenly kicks back)! Make sure the saw blade is suitable for the workpiece material. Hold the handle of the saw (9) tight. When the saw blade enters the workpiece, the risk of kickback is particularly high. Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces only with fine- toothed saw blades. Always use sharp saw blades. Replace damaged saw blades immediately. There is an increased risk of kickback if a blunt sawtooth gets caught in the workpiece's surface. Do not jam workpieces. If in doubt, check workpiece for inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws). Never cut several workpieces at the same time – and also no bundles containing several individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled. Remove small cutoffs, scrap, etc. from the work area – when doing so the saw blade must be at a complete standstill. When used as a table saw: Risk of kickback (workpiece is caught by the saw blade and thrown against the operator): When using as a table saw, only work with a correctly set riving knife. Check whether the riving knife – blade distance is between 3 mm and 8 mm. If necessary, repair before using the device. The riving knife and the saw blade used must match: the riving knife should be thinner than the kerf, but thicker than the saw blade body. Make sure the saw blade is suitable for the workpiece material. Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces only with fine- toothed saw blades. Always use sharp saw blades. Replace damaged saw blades immediately. There is an increased risk of kickback if a blunt sawtooth gets caught in the workpiece's surface. Do not jam workpieces. If in doubt, check workpiece for inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws). Cut only workpieces of dimensions that allow for safe and secure holding while cutting. Never cut several workpieces at the same time – and also no bundles containing several individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled. Remove small cutoffs, scrap, etc. from the work area – when doing so the saw blade must be at a complete standstill. Drawing-in/trapping hazard! Ensure that during operation no parts of the body or clothing can be caught and drawn in by rotating components (no ties no gloves, no clothes with wide sleeves; contain long hair with a hairnet). Never cut workpieces to which ropes, cords, strings, cables or wires are attached or which contain such materials. Hazard generated by insufficient personal protection gear! Wear hearing protection. Wear protective goggles. Wear dust mask. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear non-slip footwear. Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough workpieces. Carry saw blades in a container. Risk of injury by inhaled wood dust! Work only with a suitable dust collector attached to the saw. The dust extraction unit must comply with the values stated in chapter 17.. Reducing dust exposure: WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:ENGLISH en

- Lead from lead-based paints, - Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and - Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body. Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit. Reduce dust exposure with the following measures: - do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits, - use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers, - ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust. - Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush. Hazard generated by modification of the machine or use of parts not tested and approved by the equipment manufacturer! Assemble tool in strict accordance with these instructions. Use only parts approved by the equipment manufacturer. This applies especially for: – saw blades (for order numbers, refer to

chapter 13. Accessories).

–Safety devices. – Cutting laser. – Cutting line illumination. Do not change any parts. Ensure that the speed indicated on the saw blade is at least the same as the speed indicated on the saw. Hazard generated by tool defects! Before every use check tool for possible damage: before operating the tool all safety devices, protective guards or slightly damaged parts need to be checked for proper function as specified. Check that moving parts are in perfect working order and do not jam and check whether parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions necessary to ensure perfect operation of the unit. Do not used any damaged or contorted saw blades. Keep tool and accessories in good repair. Observe the maintenance instructions. Damaged protective equipment and parts must be repaired or replaced by a recognised workshop. Have damaged switches replaced by a service centre. Do not operate tool if the switch cannot be turned ON or OFF. Keep handles free of oil and grease. Risk of injury by noise! Wear hearing protection. Make sure the splitting wedge is not bent. A bent splitting wedge will push the workpiece against the side of the saw blade, causing noise. Danger from blocking work pieces or work piece parts! If blockage occurs:

1. switch machine off,

4. clear the blockage using a suitable tool.
